Admissions Policies and Procedures

We welcome applications for places here at Wymondham CE Primary School and visits from parents and pupils too.

We are an academy within the Rise Multi-Academy Trust. Admissions are coordinated by the Local Authority (LA), but within RISE, Directors are the Admissions Authority. Responsibility for the operation of this policy is delegated to the Local Governing Body of the academy, who allocate places according to our Admissions policy. This means it is necessary to contact both the school and the LA to apply for a place. When Governors have considered your application and a decision has been made, the LA will write to you directly with the result.

First time admissions into school

• Please see our Admissions Policy for your child’s year of admission (below).
• Please apply online to Leicestershire County Council LA or contact 0116 305 6684 if you need a paper form.
• LA letters are sent out on 11th April informing of the outcome of your school place application.
