Please be aware that the regulations under Section I of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 limit the size of an infant class (a class in which the majority of children will reach the age of 5, 6 or 7 during the school year) to 30 pupils per class teacher. Admissions over this limit are only permitted in very limited circumstances.

If you have any queries about admission for your child please contact us at the Academy or the Admissions and Exclusions Team at Nottingham City Council on 0115 915 0763.
