Admissions
We warmly welcome pupils from our catchment area and beyond. The school has capacity for 15 pupils in each year group.
Applications for Nursery
Children can attend our Nursery from the day they turn 2, and all children are taken on a case-by-case basis depending on the number of sessions they attend. Please look in the 'Nursery' section for more information and contact the school about applying.
Applications for Reception
Applying for a place in our Reception year for September should be done online via the Suffolk County Council website. You can download a copy of our admissions policy from the link below. This details i.) how we consider applications for all
age groups ii:) how we select pupils from the applications received iii:) our oversubscription criteria iv:) the appeals procedure. A supplementary information form (SIF) is also required to be completed and returned directly to the school (please see link at the bottom of the page)
Children usually start school in the September following their fourth birthday, but parents/carers may delay entry until the term following their fifth birthday. Please note that children born between 1st April and 31st August who delay their start in this way will not have their place held open and must re-apply for a place to join Year 1.
Applications for Years 1 to 6, or Mid-Year Applications
Please apply directly to the school by completing an ADM1 form and a Supplementary Information Form and return them to the school. Both forms can be downloaded below. We will make a decision for any in-year applications based on the number of children already within the class. (Please read the admissions policy for determining applications where class size is a factor)
