As a voluntary aided school, St. Mary's does not have a catchment area - we welcome applications for school places from across East Grinstead and the wider area.

Our school has 30 places in each year group (one-form entry) and the St. Mary's Governors follow the published admission arrangements when prioritising placements for entry.

If you wish for your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below. You can also contact our Admissions Coordinator via the School Office.

Please do contact our office if you would like to visit the school.

When asked why they chose St. Mary's for their child, our parents said:

"The wonderful community feel, the inclusiveness I felt from the moment we walked in. How friendly and personable the staff all are - it feels like one big family!"

" It is a wonderful small school that really nurtures their students and takes into account not every child is the same. Will establish ways they can support your child."

Right of Appeal

There is a right to appeal, to an independent panel, against the decision of the Governing Body. Parents wishing to exercise this right should write to the Clerk of Governors (clerk@stmaryseg.co.uk). For administrative purposes, appeals should be received within 20 days of receipt of notification refusing a place.

All appeals will be appropriately considered.

Transferring from Primary to Secondary School

Parents whose child is in their final year with us (Year 6) will be sent information regarding the application process for secondary school placements.

We will support our pupils and parents through the process of applying for secondary school. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you require any help.
