Current Arrangements
How to apply for a school place at Cottingham CofE Primary School
Cottingham Primary School follows North Northamptonshire County Guidance for admissions for rural village primary schools. The Academy Governance Committee (AGC) have delegated responsibility for admissions in our school and are therefore responsible for all admissions. All places are allocated in accordance with our Admissions Policy which you will find at www.cottinghamprimary.co.uk
In order to submit an application, please refer to the local authority’s website
Oversubscription Criteria
Places will be allocated to pupils who have an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan that names the school as appropriate provision. When there are more applications for places than there are places available, priority will be given in the following order:
- Looked after children and children who were previously looked after but immediately after being looked after were adopted or became subject to a child arrangements order, or special guardianship order including those children who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
- Pupils with a brother or sister continuing at the school at the time of admission of the child.
- Pupils who have a parent(s) who is a member of the school staff where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, and/or the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage
- Pupils who live in the linked area: Cottingham, Middleton, East Carlton & Rockingham.
- Other pupils.
Tiebreaker: If the admission number is exceeded within any criterion priority will be given to those who live closest to the school.
