 Admissions Arrangements 2022-23
Admissions Arrangements 2023-24

In-Year Admissions (EYFS through to Year 6)

 If you wish to apply for a place at Chilton Primary School during the academic year, you should contact the main school office on 01449 612928 or download our in-year application form  here.

 

Applying for a Place for 2023/24 (EYFS – Reception Class)

Admissions into Reception are handled by Suffolk County Council and are now open.

You must apply for a primary school place by 15 January 2023

You'll need to make an application even if your child is already attending a nursery class in an infant or primary school, a pre-school, or a family hub next to a school site.

This is because a place in a nursery class, pre-school or family hub does not guarantee your child a full-time place at that school.

 For more information and to apply online visit https://www.suffolk.gov.uk/children-families-and-learning/schools/school-places/apply-for-a-primary-school-place-20232024/

 When applying online you:

  • will receive confirmation of your application by email
  • can check or change your application right up to the closing date
  • can view the outcome of your application online on the offer day
  • will receive an email with details of your school offer on the offer day

 To apply after the deadline you will need to complete a CAF1 paper application form and send to Admissions Team, Endeavour House, 8 Russell Road, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP1 2BX or email admissions@suffolk.gov.uk.
