Admissions
Admissions for Park Junior School
Northampton Primary Academy Trust welcomes children to join schools in our Trust both at the start of their school life (the academic year during which they turn five years old) and as a transfer from another school either at the beginning of an academic year or at any point during an academic year.
Pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) will be allocated a place where the school is named as being the appropriate provision.
All applications for admission must be made through:
North Northamptonshire Council www.northnorthants.gov.uk/school-admissions
Where applications for admission exceed the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied, in the order set out below, to decide which children to admit:
After the admission of pupils with an EHCP that names the school, priority for admission will be given to children in the order shown below:
- Looked after children and all previously looked after children
- Children with a sibling continuing at the school or The Avenue Infant School at the time of admission of the child
- Children who attend The Avenue Infant School
- Children who live closer to the preferred school than any other school
- Other children
