Before you apply

Four things worth knowing in Exmouth

    4 of the 9 primary schools in Exmouth have a religious character. When they're full, they can put families of their faith first, so check each school's rules.

    Show schools with no religious character
  2. A nursery place isn't a Reception place.

    6 schools take children from age 2 or 3. You still need to apply for Reception, even if your child is already in the school's nursery.

    Show schools with a nursery
  3. Apply by 15 January.

    Apply to your council for a Reception place starting in September. Offers come out on 16 April.

  4. Check how old the Ofsted grade is.

    Some grades are many years old. Each school's page shows the date of its last inspection and what's changed since.
