Admissions

Rattlesden Primary School is an academy and we follow Suffolk County Council admissions procedures.

Please call us on 01449 736335 to enquire about in-year vacancies or entry at the beginning of any year group other than Early Years Foundation Stage/Reception (entry to this year group is managed by the local authority).

Applications to the Early Years Foundation Stage/Reception Class
Rattlesden CofE Primary Academy offers children a full or part-time place in the Early Years Foundation Stage/Reception Class.  All children are entitled to full-time place from September.  A part-time place is available if parents/carers do not wish to take up the full-time place initially.  In Suffolk, children are expected to attend full-time from the beginning of the term in which they have their fifth birthday.

Parents/carers who would like to apply for a place in our Early Years class for September 2019, will need to apply by 15th January 2019.

During the summer term before admission, our new starters are invited to a series of half day sessions to give them the opportunity to become familiar with their new surroundings, and to also try out a school lunch.  Our Reception teacher will also visit your child at home and/or in their nursery provision in order that the transition to primary school is as seamless and comprehensive as possible.
​
We warmly welcome visits from prospective parents and children to the school. Please call us on 01449 736355 to make an appointment.
