Admissions

All admissions to school are administered through the Norfolk County Council Admissions Team and all information is about this process is available on their website: Norfolk School Admissions

We currently follow the Local Authority Admissions Guidelines.

In the event of the school being oversubscribed places are allocated according to the following criteria in order of priority

Children who:

1. have an EHCP or statement of special educational needs naming that school
2. children in public care, have been adopted from public care or adopted from abroad who are due to transfer
3. live in the catchment area and who have a sibling attending the school at the time of their admission
4. have a disability and live in the catchment area (Appropriate professional evidence will be required to confirm the disability)
5. live in the catchment area
6. children eligible for the service premium.
7. live outside the catchment area who have a brother or sister with a statement of special educational needs attending the school at the time of their admission
8. live outside the area served by the school who have a brother or sister attending the school at the time of their admission
9. have a disability and live outside the catchment area (Appropriate professional evidence will be required to confirm the disability)
10. children of staff
11. live outside the catchment area

Within each category preference is given to children living nearer the school, measured as the crow flies rather than a road route.

It is the responsibility of the Local Authority to allocate places rather than the school itself. To apply for a place, please contact Norfolk County Council's Admissions Team https://www.norfolk.gov.uk/education-and-learning/schools/school-admissions

At Reepham Primary School there is currently one class per year group except two Year 6 classes, which will revert to one Year 6 class in September 2026. In KS1 there is a statutory limit of 30 children per class.
