Enrolment process
Thank you for your interest in Salisbury Downs Primary School.
If our school is not your local school, you can still apply to enroll, but enrolment will only be offered if we have places available. Use the online tool to find your local school.
Visit the school enrolment section on the department’s website for more information.
Mid-year intake from 2024
From 2024, there will be a mid-year intake into school.
From 2024, if your child turns 5 years between 1 May and 31 October, they can start school in either:
- term 3 of the same year
- or term 1 the following year.
Students enrolled through a mid-year intake will complete 6 terms of reception.
