ADMISSION INTO FULL-TIME SCHOOL 

Admission to reception
Open: 4 November 2024
Close: 15 January 2025

Offer day: 16th April 2025

Even though your child may attend Intake Farm Primary School’s Foundation unit (F1), parents still have to apply for a full-time place in school.  We currently have a planned admission number (PAN) of 30 places.  

If parents live in Nottinghamshire, they must apply for a school place through Nottinghamshire County Council.  A letter will be sent from the LA (Local Authority) with details on how to apply and deadlines etc. Parents may choose any school for a full-time place, but standard admission criteria as above will be applied.

All Nottinghamshire schools now admit pupils at one point of entry.  Children will be admitted to full-time school in September following their fourth birthday.  Some parents may wish to defer the start of full-time education until compulsory school age.  Parents/carers should discuss this option with the Headteacher of your preferred school or the School Admissions Team.

Parents who are considering sending their child to this school are welcome to visit by arranging a time with the Headteacher.
