Cambridgeshire Local Authority (LA) is responsible for handling the admissions for our school. Parents will be informed in the April prior to admission whether a place is available for their child.
Places will be allocated on the basis of the Published Admission Number (PAN) for the year group and the admissions criteria set.
ALL admission enquiries for reception - year 6 should be directed via the Local Authority using the links below.
Details of organising and hearing admission appeals can be found within the First Steps document on the Local Authority website and included as a PDF below.

Oversubscription Criteria:
Children who have a Statement of Special Educational Need (SEN) / Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) that names the school will be admitted. NB. Those children with a statement of SEN / EHCP that does not name the school will be referred to the Statutory Assessment Team (SAT) to determine an appropriate place.
1. Children in Care (CIC) and children who were previously in care (CIC) but ceased to be so by reason of adoption, a residence order (now known as a child arrangement order) or special guardianship order.
2. Children living in the catchment area with a sibling at the school at the time of admission.
3. Children living in the catchment area.
4. Children living outside the catchment area who have a sibling at the school at the time of admission.
5. Children living outside the catchment area who have applied and been unable to gain a place at their Cambridgeshire catchment area school because of oversubscription.
6. Children who live outside the catchment area, but nearest the school as measured by a straight line.
In cases of equal merit in each set of criteria, priority will go to children living nearest the school as measured by a straight line.

Nursery Places
If you would like a Nursery place in our Foundation Stage Unit (for children who have turned 3) please contact Mrs Crisp in the School Office in the first instance.
In Cambridgeshire, a child is deemed to be of nursery age from the beginning of the term following their 3rd birthday until 31st August following their fourth birthday. For this purpose, the terms are as follows (these are in line with the Early Years Education Funding term dates):
Autumn term – 1st September to 31st December; Spring term – 1st January to 31st March; Summer term – 1st April to 31st August.
Parents can register their interest in a nursery place at any time by contacting the School and completing an Expression of Interest Form. We also offer a Lunch Club for those children approaching school age meaning that they can stay for an extra hour and sample a school lunch.
If you have any questions, please contact the School Business Manager Mrs Kim Crisp office@gw.act-academytrust.org
