Admissions

Our main point of admission is into Reception Year when children are 4 years old. We admit up to 30 children from Cople, Willington and the surrounding area in accordance with our Admissions Policy January 2024.docx

Children may join other year groups and at different times of the year if places are available. For in-year admissions for the current school year, please see our admissions policy (link above).

Admissions for school starters and in-year admissions are dealt with by Bedford Borough Council. More information and admission forms are available in Starting-School-Booklet-2023 and on their website.

School places are offered in April for the following September. This will be 16th April 2024 for September 2024. Applications for in year places will usually be offered within a week or two of the application.

If you are unhappy with the outcome of your application, you have the right to appeal. Please see the following link for further information about this process.
