Admissions
We know that deciding which school is right for your child’s education is a hugely important choice and we thank you for considering Great Ouse Primary Academy.
Our school does not have a catchment area, meaning that there isn’t a specific geographical area around the school from which applications are taken. We have 60 places in each year group and there are prioritised according to the School’s Admissions Policy [link to policy to be added].
We work with Bedford Borough Council who manage and administer the admissions process. All applications should go through Bedford Borough Council.
In-year Admissions
If you are interested in applying for an in-year school place, please contact the School Office in the first instance.
All in-year applications for school places are organised by Bedford Borough Council School admissions, regardless of where you live. Please visit Bedford Borough’s website for further information.
Pre-School Admissions
Pre-School places are allocated according to the Pre-School Admissions Policy.
For more information, please see the Pre-School Admission page.
Statement of Intent and Admissions Policy
It is our intention to make our setting accessible to children and families from the local community. We aim to ensure that all sections of our community have access to the setting through open, fair and clearly communicated procedures. [sort links]
