Parents can express a preference for any school, but as a community school the criteria for admission is set by West Sussex. Further information about this can be obtained from the Admissions Office.

Where space is available, we welcome children into any year group. However, the Governors continue to monitor pupil numbers in each year group aiming to maintain the current pupil numbers for each class. The agreed class size is 30 children.

We aim to be an inclusive school supporting all pupils, especially those who have barriers to learning. If you have specific concerns about your child’s needs, please speak to the Headteacher. Parents considering JYS for their child are warmly invited to make a preliminary visit, by arrangement, to see the facilities and the children at work, and to have any questions answered.
