Admissions Policy

In Northamptonshire, the Local Education Authority is the admission authority for county and controlled schools. Children can start school in the September following their fourth birthday. All children must be four on or before 31st August. If you do not wish your child to start school early you can wait until the start of the term after their fifth birthday. Children usually attend part-time until the end of September and then full-time, unless the head feels that further part-time attendance would be best for your child.

Each primary school must admit a certain number of pupils each year. This is called the standard number. Our standard number is 30. If a school is oversubscribed places are allocated on certain criteria. For more information, the link to the Local Education Authority website is here.
