How do I apply for a place at Loddon Junior School?

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 Loddon Infant and Nursery School. You can usually list between 3 and 6 schools in order of preference, and offers are sent on 16 April, or the next working day.

Does living near Loddon Junior School guarantee a place?

No. Distance only counts when Loddon Junior School has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by its academy trust, 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. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
