Admissions Process

West Moors Middle School uses the local authority arrangement for School Admissions. The agreement is mindful of national requirements supporting all young people, including those who are disabled, in a fair and non-discriminatory way, when securing admission to school. In addition to this West Moors Middle School makes appropriate reasonable adjustments to accommodate those who are disabled. Where adaptations are required to support physical or medical needs, the school liaises with health services and parents / carers to ensure that appropriate arrangements are made to meet individual medical conditions. More information can be found in the Local Offer information held on the Local Authority’s website (dorsetforyou.com/local-offer)

We have 64 places in each year group and all our admissions are through Dorset Admissions.

If we can help in any way contact the school office

Children transfer to middle school at the end of year 4.
