Apply through the council where you live by 15 January for a Year 3 place starting that September. Children moving up from an infant school still need to apply. 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. 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 St Andrew's and St Mark's CofE Junior School has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by its governing body, 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.
