Admissions

If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below. 

Admissions Arrangements for 2023-2024

We follow the Lincolnshire admissions code and have a Pupil Admission Number of 10 pupils into Reception each year.  Our admissions policy details the criteria we apply when applications are received to the school.  It also includes our over subscription and appeal criteria. 

Every year, we welcome a brand new cohort of Reception children to our Marston Thorold's family.

If your child was born between 1^st September 2018 and 31^st August 2019, they can start Reception from September 2023.

If your child does fit within that category, you can apply for a school place, between 14^th November 2022 until the deadline of 15^th January 2023.

Online admissions applications re-opens 17 April 2023 and closes 19 May 2023.

All applications are done through the Lincolnshire County Council admissions website.  Lincolnshire parents can apply online by clicking here for the link to Lincolnshire County Council's admissions page or call 01522 782030.

If applicants live outside of Lincolnshire then they need to apply to their home Local Authority even if they want a school in Lincolnshire.

If a parent or carer needs support with the application process due to a variety of reasons such as literacy issues or a language barrier please feel free to contact the Education Team on 01522 782030 or email:  schooladmissions@lincolnshire.gov.uk
