For an in-year admission place, you need to apply to our school directly using this form:
We advise all prospective parents to visit the school so that they can experience the warm, dynamic 'buzz' of a working school day at Shoreham Village School. Every day is an Open Day and we encourage visits at times that are convenient for all families.
Our school prospectus contains key information about new and in-year admissions arrangements.
