JoIn our school

We do still have places for children wishing to join Reception in September 2023 and would encourage you to come and see us! As with mid-year transfers if you are coming to us from another school, all applications must be made through the Norfolk County Council admissions process but we'd welcome you for an informal chat and tour of our school - just call or email the School Office.

If you prefer you can post your application to us. Download an application form or use our online contact form to ask us to send you one.

When does a child start school?

  • If your child was born between 1 September 2017 and 31 August 2018, they are due to start school in reception class in the school year starting September 2021. Children must be offered a full-time place from September 2022.
  • Parents are entitled to defer their child’s admission or request that their child attend on a part-time basis. By law, children must start statutory education full-time no later than the beginning of the term following their fifth birthday. Read our parents’ guide to admissions to schools in Norfolk for more information.

Important

  • You will need to make an application for a reception class place, even if your child currently attends a nursery class at the same school
  • Attendance at a nursery attached to a school, does not normally give you any priority for a place at that school
