How do I apply for a place at Old Cleeve Church of England First School?

Apply through the council where you live by 15 January for a Reception place starting that September. Children start Reception in the September after their fourth birthday. 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. A place in its nursery class does not carry on into Reception, so you still need to apply. As a Church of England school it may also ask for a supplementary form, and its admissions policy says whether it does.

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.
