Applying for schools
If your child lives in Nottingham City and was born between 1 September 2016 and 31 August 2017, you need to apply for an infant/primary school place for September 2021.
Children who were born between 01 September 2013 and 31 August 2014 and are attending an infant school in year 2 will transfer to a junior school in September 2021. Children in year 2 at a primary school do not need to change school and will stay at that primary school until year 6 and this information does not apply.
How do I apply?
The closing date for applications was Friday 15 January 2021. Applying after the deadline may reduce your chances of getting a place at your preferred school, particularly if it is popular.
Please contact the School Admissions Team at schooladmissions@nottinghamcity.gov.uk or on Telephone 0115 841 5668 to request an application form.
Basic details on the application process, along with things you should consider can be found in the summary leaflet below.
