    Admission Arrangements for Henderson Green Primary Academy

    We have one intake into the Reception classes each year in September. Children start school in the term in which they are five years old. The Reception admissions are handled centrally by Norfolk County Council and you will need to complete and return your admission form (usually by the end of January) detailing your school preferences.


    All information regarding arrangements for selection, over subscription criteria and the application process is available below.


    If you are offered a place at our Academy, we will work with you and your child to ensure a smooth transition and make sure they settle into their class as quickly as possible.


    Please do call us if you would like to come and visit our Academy.

    General admission information for September 2024/25

    The admission round for entry to reception classes for the School Year 2024/25 opens on 25 September 2023 and closes on 14 January 2024.


    When does a child start school?

    • If your child was born between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020, they are due to start school in reception class in the school year starting September 2024 and are entitled to a full-time place.
    • Parents are entitled to defer their child’s admission or request that their child attend on a part-time basis. By law, children must start statutory education full-time no later than the beginning of the term following their fifth birthday.


    Important

    • You must make an application for a reception class place, even if your child currently attends a nursery class at the same school. However, attendance at a nursery attached to a school, does not normally give you any priority for a place at that school.
