Pickwick Academy Trust is consulting on a proposed new draft Admissions Policy for all schools within Pickwick Academy Trust.  If the consultation is successful, the policy and admissions criteria will be applied to all schools ( 21)  within the Trust as of 28 February 2026  from September 2027.  This is intended to improve the consistency of approach across all our schools, ensure compliance with legal admissions requirements and reduce workload for each school leadership team and governors.  Please find the link to our proposed new draft Admissions Policy here and below for your information, along with the proposed changes.

The consultation will run from Monday 3^rd November 2025 until Monday 15^th December  2025.  To respond to this consultation, please send your comments or questions by Monday 15^th December 2025 via email to governance@pickwickacademytrust.co.uk or in writing to ‘Head of Governance and Compliance’ at Pickwick Academy Trust at Pickwick Offices, Pound Pill, Corsham, Wiltshire, SN13 9YW.  We will respond to all feedback and pass feedback onto the Trustees before they determine the policy. The Trustees will consider the responses and determine the policy before 28^th February 2026.

Pitton Primary is a small, family-oriented school with ambitious ideas for every child. We are dedicated to providing a holistic learning experience where children are nurtured, inspired, and feel safe and supported by every member of our community. Our unique setting fosters a strong family environment that promotes academic, emotional, spiritual, and social growth, fulfillment, and achievement.

Many parents from outside of the allocated catchment area of Pitton, Farley and East Grimstead, send their children to Pitton CofE Primary School. If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below. 

Reception 2025-2026

Prospective parents and pupils are invited to attend one of our open mornings or if you can't make these, please do contact the office for a private tour.

We look forward to welcoming you to our school!
