Admissions information
As Headteacher, I am also always happy to show prospective parents around the academy as seeing both the teachers and pupils in action is the best way to get a real feel for the school. This is the most important way in which you will know if this is the school right for your child and therefore, please contact us to book an appointment.
Our school follows the admissions criteria of the Diocese of Norwich Education and Academies Trust in the allocation of any school places where there is not a straight forward admission. A copy of the Trust’s admissions policy can be found here:
In addition, Norfolk Local Authority manages all admissions on our behalf and can be contacted at:

Reception
For our yearly intake of Reception pupils, they are admitted to school in September of the school year when they have their 5th birthday (i.e. between 1st September and 31st August).
During the summer preceding this, we hold open evenings for our September intake followed by a series of transition visits to ensure that there is a smooth settling-in process.
High Schools
There are two main high schools near us where pupils tend to go after leaving us in Year 6 they include:
- Smithdon High School - click HERE to visit their website
- Alderman Peel High School - click HERE to visit their website
The high schools have open days during the autumn term each year when prospective parents and pupils can look round the schools. Details of these can be found on each school’s website.
Admission Appeals
As a school, we do try to ensure we are welcoming to all. However, there are physical limits within the school that restrict our numbers if we are full. Please see our policy for further information about appeals.
