Admission to Our School

Starting school for the first time:

Any children who are starting school for the very first time (children who will be 5 on their next birthday and are not yet in school) will be allocated a place by the local authority taking into account parental choice as much as possible. There is a requirement under paragraph 2.17 of the School Admissions Code to make clear in our admission arrangements the process for requesting admission out of the normal age range. “We will consider all requests to place children outside of their normal age group including summer born and premature children in line with the requirements of paragraph 2.17 to 2.17B of the School Admissions Code” In circumstances where parents/carers request to admit a child outside of their normal age group, a decision will be made on a case by case basis in line with sections 2.18-2.20 of the School Admissions Code.

Further information about what parents/carers need to make an application or help them make their decision is available on the Suffolk County Council website at  www.suffolk.gov.uk/admissions, including information about the School Travel Policy and some School Travel Scenarios. Additionally, contact the school for more information.

'In year' moves:

From 1st September 2015 all Academies have to manage their own in-year admissions.

Any parent wishing to make an application for a place at our academy or any academy within the Trust can telephone the school office and we will supply the relevant forms or alternatively access them at the bottom of this page. All in-year applications must now be made direct to the school and parents will be notified of the outcome directly from the school. We welcome visits to the school for perspective new parents and children. Please contact Wendy or Laura via the school office to arrange a time with the Head of School.

Appeals please refer to SCC policy.

Our current PAN (pupil admission number) is 60 per year group.
