Admissions
Children are admitted to the school in the academic year in which they turn 5.
Due to legislation across the county, the LA (Local authority) has operated a co-ordinated admissions scheme since 2006. Any parents who apply for a place at the school must apply to the local authority and the school.
The Governing Body is the admitting authority for this school. Parents seeking a place at the school should complete and return our school application form (see below) and also apply online to your local education authority.
The Headteacher, Mr Wright, is always happy to show prospective parents around the school and answer questions regarding admission. Please contact the office to arrange an appointment.
Applications for the following year should be returned to the school by 15th January for admission in the following year.
The Local Authority will co-ordinate allocation of places for children admitted to school in the Autumn Term.
A parent has the right of appeal if admission has been refused. Appeals against refusal of admission are organised by the Diocese. https://www.leicesterdbe.org/schools/admissions-and-appeals/
