Apply through the council where you live by 15 January for a Year 3 place starting that September. Every child joining in Year 3 needs a place applied for through the council where they live, by 15 January in Year 2. That includes children at Wrestlingworth CofE Infant School.

As a Church of England school it may also ask for a supplementary form, and its admissions policy says whether it does.
No. Distance only counts when Dunton CofE Junior School has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by the local authority, Central Bedfordshire, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. As a Church of England school, it can give priority to children on grounds of faith. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
