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. 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 Stratford-sub-Castle Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by the local authority, Wiltshire, 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.
Stratford-sub-Castle Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School had 148 pupils aged 4 to 11 at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 147. It is a mixed school.
