School Admissions

We are a junior school and cater for children between the ages of 7 and 11. Children usually start school in Year 3 in September of the school year in which they are 7. 

As a Hampshire County Council maintained school, Cove Junior School does not manage any our pupil admissions or appeals process. These are managed for us by Hampshire County Council’s Admissions Team who can be contacted:

 In-Year Admissions

We understand that it is sometimes necessary for you to move your child to a new school during the school year due to a house move, because you are a Service Family, or you feel that your child’s current school is not right for them.

If you are thinking of moving to Cove Junior School we would like to invite you and your child to come and visit the school.  School tours can be arranged by calling the School Office on 01252 542941.
