Thank you for considering St Peter's for your child!
We would be delighted to welcome you and your child. If you would like to visit our school, please contact the School Office.

Once you decide you would like a place, you will need to make an application through Plymouth City Council's Citizen's Portal. We can help you through this process in school!
Most children join our school at the normal round, the main intake into school from the start of September in Reception. As a parent, you can apply for a place with the Local Authority.
There are different options for parents of children starting school in Reception. This includes part-time education and deferring or delaying admission until later in the Reception year or, for children with birthdays in the summer term, to the following September. Come and talk to us if you are considering this. Do also contact us if you are interested in a place in a different year group for any reason.
Applications for residents of Plymouth are made between 15 November and 15 January for primary schools at

For questions about your child joining the school or just about the admissions process in general, please don’t hesitate to contact the school direct or contact Plymouth School Admissions Service on 01752 307469 or by email to primary.admissions@plymouth.gov.uk
If you are interested in your child joining the school in-year (once the academic year has started), you can apply for a place through Plymouth City County Council at

There is a right of appeal and to a place on a waiting list for places where an application is refused.
St Christopher’s Multi Academy Trust is the admissions authority for our school. It has responsibility for the admissions policies and decisions on applications for admission. We have an admissions policy for each academic year and they will be published on this page when they are proposed for consultation and after they have been determined annually. They are written to comply with the School Admissions Code 2021 and School Admissions Appeals Code 2022.
We take part in the co-ordinated admissions schemes of Devon County Council. Devon County Council publishes information about admissions and its own policies to support the admissions application and appeals process. This is at www.devon.gov.uk/admissions
Applications can be made online hereThe appeals process are detailed here
You can find our admissions policies below - we review the school policy annually and may make changes if we feel this would be in the best interests of the school and our community.
Each academic year has its own policy document, with details about how to apply for a place in school.
Appeals at the normal round of admissions will be heard within 40 school days of the deadline for lodging appeals on 31 May 2024. Where the application was not made in time for a decision to be made on 16 April 2024, they will be heard within that 40-day period or, if that is not possible, within 30 days of the appeal being lodged. In-year admission appeals must be heard within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged.
