Admissions
Thank you for considering applying for a place at Freeman's. We sometimes have vacancies in some year groups, please contact the School Office for current information on 01933 274870. You are very welcome to make an appointment to look around the school at a convenient time.
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 below.
Admission to Year 3 (our intake year)
Children are able to start at Freemans CE Endowed Junior in the September following their 7th birthday (Year 3). Applications can be made in the autumn term. The deadline is 15th January.
Applications must be made through the local authority where you live. For more information and to apply online, please click here.
Admission to any year group during the school year
Applications for admission to any year group during the school year are known as in-year applications.
If you are interested in joining our school and would like to arrange a visit please contact the school office.
For the school year September 2024 – August 2025, to apply for an in-year school place at our school, please complete the application form linked below. All applications are managed by our Trust (rather than the Local Authority).
You will be contacted within 15 school days to let you know if a place can be offered. If you make your application during the school holidays, it may take longer than normal to process.
If you have applied and been refused a place at our school (in any year group), you are entitled to appeal against that decision.
Appeals for PDET academies are administered by The Diocese of Peterborough Education team. For more information on the process, please click here.
If you wish to appeal please contact the Appeals Administrator by emailing education@peterborough-diocese.org.uk and ask for an appeals pack.
The pack includes some explanatory notes about the process of Admission Appeals and a Notice of Appeal form that, should you decide to proceed with an appeal, will need to be completed and returned by email if possible, but if not, to the Diocesan Office instead.
