Please note that we admit children to our school in the September after their fourth birthday and our published admissions number (PAN) for all our Reception year groups is 70.

If you would like to take a tour of the school, please call reception on 01252 350583 or email admissions@st-josephs.hants.sch.uk to book a date in the diary.   Availability is limited.

Unfortunately, we will not be holding any tours during the month of December but are able to offer 2 final dates in January 2026 - Friday, 8th January and Monday, 12th January 2026.

You can make an in-year application if your child needs to join a school outside of the normal admissions round - for example if you move house and your child can no longer attend their current school.

Those wishing to apply for an in-year place must complete an online application via their local authority.  For those residing in Hampshire, further information regarding the application process can be found by clicking HERE.  An online application can be made via the following link: Hampshire Education Online Portal

We also require you to complete a Supplementary Form (SIF) and send this to the school along with a copy of the child’s baptism certificate (if applying for Faith based reasons).  Paper copies of all application forms are available on request from the school office.

Documents can be submitted in person at the school office or scanned and emailed directly to admissions

Where there are more applicants than places available, a waiting list will operate for each year group according to our agreed Admissions Arrangements and without regard to the date the application was received or when a child's name was added to the waiting list.  Waiting lists will be reviewed in the Summer term of each Academic Year and parents will be contacted to see whether they wish for their child to remain on the waiting list.  Failure to confirm your child's position on the waiting list will result in  your child's removal from the list.
