Dear Parent

 Application for a place at a Primary School in September 2024

Children normally start full-time school at the beginning of the autumn term after they are 4 (this means they would join the reception class at the beginning of the 2024 autumn term, when they had their fourth birthday on or between 1 September 2023 and 31 August 2024).

This process is for parents of children born between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020, applying to start primary school in September 2024.

 Apply now:

  1. Visit www.croydon.gov.uk/admissions to be guided through the steps in the application process and to complete the online application form. 
  2. If you are familiar with the process and already have an eAdmissions account you can apply straightaway at www.eadmissions.org.uk

Application deadline: 15th January 2024

If your application is late it will not be considered until all applications received on time have been processed and your child would be unlikely to receive a place at one of your preferred schools. Help your child by being one of the nine out of ten parents who apply on time.

You will be able to view the outcome of your application online on 16 April 2024.

If you need help completing your online application, please email school.admissions@croydon.gov.uk and someone will contact you to talk you through the application process.

Class Placements for Twins and Multiples

The current research does not provide good accounts of the effects of classroom separation on the development of twins.  There is currently no clear evidence to support the belief that separation provides greater outcomes for individuality.  

 

The document below provides guidance about how to decide whether twins should be in separate or the same class.
