We are delighted that you are considering Talbot as the place for your child to learn and flourish. Please feel free to get in touch as we would love to give you a tour of our school and give you the opportunity to meet our staff and ask any questions that you may have. There is some more information below about when you will need to apply for your child's school place and in year admissions too.

• If your child's fifth birthday is between 1st September 2020 and 31st August 2021 then you will need to apply for a reception place at a first, infant or primary school.
• If your child is in Year 4 at a first school in September 2019 you will need to apply for a place at middle school. 

The table below gives more information on when your child is eligible to join the nursery or reception classes and when they will move up to middle school.

We accept children in nursery from the age of 3 and again, and we'd be delighted to show you our Early Years area. We have our own admissions paperwork for nursery places, please email the school office who will be able to send you copies of the relevant paperwork. 

Please see Staffordshire County Council's website here on admissions. 

In Year Admissions

Parents or carers seeking to be admitted to our school ‘in year’ may make an application directly to us using the appropriate application form. This application will be processed in line with the procedure outlined in the determined admission arrangements and parents and carers need to be aware that in the case of transfers between local schools any date set for joining the new school may be after the next term or half term holiday and those parents/carers are responsible for ensuring that their child continues to receive appropriate education in the interim.

You can find more information on Staffordshire County Council's website here on in year admissions.

If in doubt please telephone or email the school and we will be happy to advise you.
