Applying for a Place in our School

There are two ways in which you may decide you would like your child to attend our school:

1. Your child will be turning 4 and starting school in Reception.
2. Your child is already at school and you would like to change their school in year.

Please follow the appropriate information below for the steps to take to apply to our school.

For information on our admissions procedures and our oversubscription criteria, please see the relevant admissions policy attached. 

If your child lives in Northamptonshire, you can make an application for a Primary school place for September 2025 if your child has their 4th birthday between 1 September 2024 and 31 August 2025. Please follow this link to take you to the county council web page to apply for schools and follow the link for Primary School places.

The closing date for applications will be Midnight on 15 January 2025.

APPEALS TIMETABLE

The Governing Body of a Voluntary Aided School is the Admission Authority for the school and is therefore responsible for all admissions.  If a year group is oversubscribed – that is, there are more applications than places available – the governing body will apply the admissions criteria from the Admissions Policy, allocating places up to their Published Admission Number. Parents/guardians of those refused places are then entitled to appeal against the Governing Body’s decision.

We use the Diocesan Appeals Service for admissions appeals and all appeals will take place on Zoom.

Please visit https://www.peterborough-diocese.org.uk/church-schools/admission-and-appeals/ for further details, or contact the Diocese of Peterborough Education Team Executive Administrator by email on  or 01604 887060.

RIGHT OF APPEAL

The Governors will admit up to the published admission number (PAN). For any child subsequently refused a place, parents/legal guardians will have the right to appeal against the decision, to an Independent Appeals Panel.  Parents wishing to appeal should contact the Appeals Administrator to request an Admission Appeals pack.

2. How to Apply for an In Year Primary School Place

If your child is already at primary school and wishes to move to a different school, you will need to make an in-year application by contacting the County Council.

The County Council then inform us that you have made an application and then we will contact you directly as we deal with our own admissions and waiting list. If we have no current spaces we will offer you the option of being placed on the waiting list. In order to be put on our waiting list, we need to see the birth certificate and a document such as utility bill as proof of address along with a completed in year application form. This form can be found attached to this page or pop in to the school office to collect one. 

The waiting lists are renewed at the start of each Seasonal term. If you wish your child to remain on the list you must contact the school within 10 school days of the start of each term in September, January and April. If no contact is received then your child’s name will be removed from the waiting list. 

If you have any questions surrounding any of our admissions procedures, please do not hesitate to telephone the office and we will do our best to help you. 01933 225888
