Reception Admission

If your child is due to start primary school in September 2025, you need to apply for a primary school place. The deadline for applications is 15^th January 2025.

You will find an Admissions Guide from Greenwich Council website, www.royalgreenwich.gov.uk, local libraries.

Royal Borough of Greenwich - Apply for a school place

A Common Application Form (CAF) should be completed on-line at www.eadmissions.org.uk This should be done by 15th January 2025. Please be advised that the LA prefers on-line applications but, if you want to complete a paper version these can be downloaded from the website. You should be aware, however, that the online process is quicker and more secure, and you will be provided with a receipt.

In addition to the CAF form, if you wish to apply to this school a Supplementary Information Form (SIP) needs to be returned to the school office by the same date. If you wish to apply to another Catholic primary school you will need to collect a form from the relevant school’s office. Applications received after 15th January 2025 will be considered as a late application and may mean that you are disappointed with your first choice of school.

Appeals

If your child is due to start Primary school in September 2025, you can appeal if you are refused a place at one of your preferred schools on National Offer Day (16th April 2025). You need to submit your appeal before Tuesday 14th May 2024 for it to be considered by Tuesday 16th July 2024. Any appeals received after this time will be heard within 40 days from the deadline, or where reasonably possible in line with updated guidance from the Department for Education.

For late applications, appeals should be heard within 40 school days from the deadline for lodging appeals where possible, or within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged where reasonably possible in line with updated guidance from the Department for Education.
