St Michael’s C of E Academy is a brand new primary school for children aged 2-11. The academy opened in September 2021 for nursery and reception children and will continue to grow in size by one Year Group year-on-year, until we have classes in every Year Group, from nursery through to Year 6. Our founding children will have the unique opportunity to be the first cohort to start their outstanding education in our Reception year.
The policies below detail the admission arrangements for our school and should be read in conjunction with the Primary and In Year Co-ordinated Schemes and other agreed policies of Devon Local Authority. All policies and procedures seek to comply with the requirements of the School Admissions Code.

For the Normal Round intake into our academy, children are offered places to start in Reception at the beginning of the September term after their fourth birthday. Children who are admitted to a vacancy at any time after this point are called ‘In-Year’ Admissions.
