Applying for a school place for September 2021

All parents/carers of pre-school children who were born between 1 September 2016 and 31 August 2017 must make an application for a full-time school place for their child for September 2021 by the closing date of Friday 15 January 2021.

Where can parents find information about how to apply?

All of the information parents/carers need to help them make their decision is available on the SCC website at www.suffolk.gov.uk/admissions, including information about the School Travel Policy and some School Travel Scenarios.

Parents/carers should apply for a school place online at  www.suffolk.gov.uk/admissions.

Only those who are unable to apply online should complete and return to us a paper CAF1 application form which is available to download from www.suffolk.gov.uk/admissions or by contacting us on 0345 600 0981.

Pupils will not be allocated a school place automatically.

All parents/carers must apply for a place, even if their child is already attending a nursery class in an infant or primary school, a pre-school or a children’s centre next to a school site. This is because a place in a nursery class, pre-school or children’s centre does not guarantee their child a full-time place at that school.
