Admissions
Devon County Council is the admissions authority for our school, responsible for the admissions policies and decisions when there is an application for admission. We have an admissions policy for each academic year. Policies are written to comply with the School Admissions Code 2021 and the School Admissions Appeals Code 2022. We take part in the normal round and the in-year co-ordinated admissions schemes of Devon County Council.

If you are interested in your child attending our school, you are welcome to come in and visit us. You can arrange a visit on 01837 83354 or by emailing admin@winkleigh.devon.sch.uk
Applying to come here
Once you decide you would like a place you must make a formal application. You can do this by applying to the Local Authority (Devon County Council).
If your child is due to start Reception (Foundation Stage) children are offered places to start in Reception at the beginning of the September term after their fourth birthday, even if they intend to defer admission until later in the academic year.
School admissions policy 2026-27
We will consult on an admissions policy between November 2024 and 10 January 2025. If you have any comments regarding the policy we propose, you can contact us at the school or schoolsadmissionpolicy-mailbox@devon.gov.uk.
From November, you can view this policy http://devon.cc/schoolpolicy
After the consultation, we will determine the policy at a meeting of the admissions authority held before the end of February 2025. Once determined, the policy will be updated online by 15 March 2025.
Objections can be made up to 15 May 2025 to the Office of the Schools' Adjudicator.
You can comment at schoolsadmissionpolicy-mailbox@devon.gov.uk or by emailing the school.
