Admissions Arrangements

All admissions are dealt with through the County Council (www.northamptonshire.gov.uk).

We very much welcome visits from prospective parents. Please ring Mrs Price or Mrs Rhodes in the school office to arrange an appointment.

The school currently has a Published Admission Number of 20, meaning that 20 places are available for Reception aged children each year.

The school is subject to the Community Primary Schools Rural Admission Criteria.

The school’s Linked Area includes the villages of Clipston, , , Hothorpe, , Marston Trussell, Thorpe Lubenham and . In reality the school also admits children from outside this linked area.

When there are more applications for places than there are places available, priority will be given in the following order:

(i) Previously looked after children i.e. children who are looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child’s arrangement order or special guardianship order). (ii) Pupils who live in the linked area; (iii) Pupils with an older brother or sister continuing at the school at the time of admission of the younger child; (iv) Other pupils.

Tiebreaker:

If the admission number is exceeded within (ii), priority will be given to those who live furthest from the nearest alternative school. If the admission number is exceeded within any other criterion, priority will be given to those who live closest to the school.
