Parents wishing to apply for a place for their child in one of our Reception classes or in a class in Years One to Six, please visit the Cambridgeshire Local Authority’s School Admissions website.

This includes a new school catchment search facility so that you can find out if you are living in our school’s catchment area (although you do not need to be in catchment to apply).

You can also apply for a place online.

Reception and Years One to Six

If you wish to join the school at a time other than the start of the school year, please visit this section of the Cambridgeshire Local Authority website.

If you wish to apply for a place at our school on religious grounds then click here to download the appropriate guidance.

A move to a different school at any time other than admission to reception, transfer to junior or transfer to secondary is known as an ‘in-year transfer’. This could be a move between Norfolk schools or a move to a Norfolk school from a school in a different area.

If you want to transfer to a school that is not in Norfolk you will need to contact your new local authority to ask about their admissions process. Find your new local authority using the Government’s postcode finder.

Under no circumstances should you withdraw your child from their current school before an alternative school place has been allocated.

Read the In-Year Admissions Guidance before you begin your application.
