ADMISSIONS 

Newbottle and Charlton CEVA  Primary School is a Voluntary Aided Primary School which means that we get support from both  Peterborough Diocese and West Northamptonshire County Council. Our Governing Body is the admissions authority for our school. 

 

The Governors have made every effort to ensure that our admission arrangements comply with the School Admissions Code 2021 and all relevant legislation including that on infant class sizes and equal opportunities.

 

For further information in the first instance please contact the school office at bursar@newbottle.northants-ecl.gov.uk  or telephone 01295 811480.

 

For Reception places for September 2025 please, complete the common application form at the local authority where you live. 

​

For in year admissions (Not for reception class Sept starters) please contact the school to fill in one of our forms.

​

 

The Governing Body of a Voluntary Aided School is the Admission Authority for the school and is therefore responsible for all admissions.  If a year group is oversubscribed – that is, there are more applications than places available – the governing body will apply the admissions criteria from the Admissions Policy, allocating places up to their Published Admission Number. Parents/guardians of those refused places are then entitled to appeal against the Governing Body’s decision.

 

We use the Diocesan Appeals Service for admissions appeals and all appeals will take place on Zoom.
