Admission Procedures
We believe that starting school should be a positive, happy experience. All children have the right to a smooth transition into each stage of their school life.
If you would like to come and visit our Nursery or School to see what we do please contact the school office to make an appointment.
Nursery Admissions
- You can apply for a place in our nursery by filling in an application form which is also available from the school office.
- Children are admitted to Nursery any time after their third birthday as long as we have a space.
- Proof of address and your child’s birth certificate will be required. Please contact the school if you would like to visit the Nursery and meet the staff.
- Our school Nursery has 52 spaces; 26 in the morning and 26 in the afternoon. The morning session runs from 8.30 - 11.30 am and the afternoon session from 12.15 - 3.15pm.
- Parents can send their children to both the morning and afternoon sessions. If they attend the morning session and want to attend the afternoon session, they can also stay for lunch (for a small charge)
- Parents need to be aware that a place in the Nursery does not guarantee a place in the Reception year of the school. At the appropriate time parents will need to complete a Suffolk County Council application form and school places will be allocated according to the school's published admission arrangements (see below).
Reception Class Admissions –Suffolk County Council carries out all Reception class admissions. If your child is not in a Nursery you can pick up the forms from any primary school or Suffolk County Council. Suffolk also has an online application form which can be accessed via the council’s website. After the 1st September anybody can make an in year admission, which means you can come directly to the school and register your interest.
Reception (in year) and Years 1- 6 Admissions – Please make an in year application directly to the school by contacting the school office and completing the paperwork.
Admission Appeals
Information on admissions appeals is available from the school office.
