Reception children

We are holding open mornings for prospective Reception 2026 parents and carers on Thursday 13th November 2025 and Wednesday 19th November 2025 – more details to follow.

By law, children start school at the beginning of the term after their fifth birthday. In keeping with Cambridgeshire County Council policy, we offer education from September 2026 to children who will be turning five in the 2026/2027 academic year. We offer full-time education from September 2026 to any child for whom this is educationally and socially appropriate.

The Cambridgeshire County Council booklet, First Steps, gives details of how the allocation of places is made: First Steps

The allocation of primary school places takes place immediately after the closing date of January 15th each year.  Further details about admission procedures are to be found in ‘Primary Education – A Guide for Parents’, which is available on the Cambridgeshire County Council Admissions Information Website and a reference copy is also available in the School Office.  Parents are invited to visit the school one evening in the summer term prior to admission in order to meet the staff, visit the classrooms and ask questions.  Children are also invited to visit the school with their parents.
