Choosing a school
You'll find everything you need to make an informed decision about a school in our find a school section but there are several other sources you can use to find out more:
- Check to see if the school has an open day which you can attend.
- Ask the headteacher for advice and information on the school or book an appointment to visit the school.
- Visit the school's website, most will have a prospectus which gives more information about the school.
- Visit the Plymouth Information Advice and Support for SEND website for assistance if your child has special educational needs.
- Email schooladmissions@plymouth.gov.uk or call 01752 668000 for advice about choosing and applying for schools (school admissions staff are available from 11am to 3pm).
