Admissions
Registration and Admission
We like to know about our future pupils as soon as possible. If you would like to visit please contact the school office for an appointment. Registration for the school is administered by the Local Authority. Information on how to do this is available from the school office.
Allocation of places to school is according to the admission criteria set by the Local Authority.
Children start school in the autumn term of the school year in which they have their fifth birthday.
Like all Cambridgeshire schools we offer places for September towards the end of April each year and not before as this is a Local Authority regulation.
We welcome admissions from all children irrespective of their needs or disabilities. We value diversity and believe that all pupils are of equal value.

Our building meets with existing requirements for children and adults with physical disabilities as laid down under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.
Child Protection
The Local Authority requires headteachers to report any obvious or suspected case of child abuse – which includes non-accidental injury, severe physical neglect, emotional abuse and/or sexual abuse. This procedure is intended to protect children at risk and schools are encouraged to take the attitude that where there are grounds for suspicion it is better to be safe than sorry. This does mean that headteachers risk upsetting some parents/carers by reporting a case which, on investigation, proves unfounded. In such circumstances it is hoped that parents/carers, appreciating how difficult it is for headteachers to carry out this delicate responsibility, would accept that the headteacher was acting in what were believed to be the child’s best interests.
There and two designated teachers for child protection – the headteacher and Mrs Bonnie Kennedy.
