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 will be allocated a place where the school is named as being the appropriate provision.
After the admission of pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plan that names the school, priority for admission will be given to children in the order specified in the individual schools admission arrangements.
