First Admission to School - School Year 2021/22

As we are part way through the application process for the First Admission to school for the school year 2021/22, please can we ask for your help in reminding parents of the importance of making application to their home Local Authority by 15 January 2021.

We wrote to parents at the end of September inviting them to make an application. In the current climate, it would be helpful if you could send them a reminder in newsletters, texts, or emails.

Children born between 1 September 2016 and 31 August 2017 are due to start school in Reception in the school year starting September 2021.

Parents need to make application, even if their child currently attends a nursery class at the same school.

The easiest way for parents to apply is on-line at www.admissionsonline.norfolk.gov.uk or they can request an application form from our Customer Services Centre on 0344 800 8020.

Additional information, and a link to the online application, is available on the County Council’s website: www.norfolk.gov.uk/education-and-learning/schools/school-admissions/admission-to-reception-classes

School staff are reminded that they can view details of preferences received for the school via the School Access Module (SAM) at any time, using log in details previously provided. Please speak to your Admissions contact should you need help with this.
