To enrol your child into Somerly Primary School please complete and submit an ‘Application for Enrolment’. Once your child’s enrolment has been accepted, you will then be required to complete our official enrolment documentation.
Somerly Primary School is a local intake area school. This means all children living within the school’s local intake area are guaranteed a place at the school. We only accept enrolments from outside of our local intake area in exceptional circumstances.
Step 1. Application for Enrolment
- Parents should complete the Application for Enrolment and email it, along with all required supporting and/or additional documents to the School Office.
- Parents must complete a separate enrolment application for each student.
- To help determine the appropriate year level for your child, we encourage parents to use the School Age Calculator.
- Submitting an Application for Enrolment does not guarantee you will receive a place at the school.
