PAN is 45 into Reception (and 30 part-time in Nursery, not relevant to Reception oversubscription). Infant class size legislation limit of 30 applies.

CATCHMENT: Area north of River Leam. As far west as and including Parade (Parade shared with Milverton Primary School). As far west as and including Kenilworth Road (not including anything to the west of Kenilworth Road). As far north as and including Binswood Avenue.
