Admissions
SFPS is a small school with a community feel where your child's individuality is recognised and celebrated. A school which puts values at the heart of everything we do whilst striving to ensure children have the opportunity to 'be their best'.
We know that choosing a School or Nursery for your child is an important but difficult decision. You will gain so much information and knowledge from word of mouth and information on school websites, but nothing will support you in making the decision like the feeling you get as you look around a school in action.
We are still accepting applications for Nursery for September 2024! Do get in touch if you would like to come and have a look around our wonderful provision, including our newly refurbished, stand-alone Nursery with private garden.
Please contact the school office to arrange a tour of the school.
