RECEPTION ADMISSIONS
The Greenshaw Learning Trust is the admissions authority for St Peter's Primary School.
The Greenshaw Learning Trust admissions policy can be found here.
Applications for admission to Reception
All admissions to St Peter's Primary School are co-ordinated by the London Borough of Croydon.
Applications for admission to Reception at St Peter's Primary School must be made by January of the year of admission to the child’s home local authority on their Common Application Form, naming St Peter's Primary School as a preference on the form.
Applications must be made by the parent. Parent refers to the person with ‘parental responsibility’ for the child or the child’s designated carer. Where the applicant is not the natural birth parent, this should be indicated on the application form.
Applications may be made online for Reception places here where comprehensive information about the admissions and application process is available. Applications for primary school places must be made no later than 15 January.
If you are resident outside the London Borough of Croydon, you should apply through your own local authority.
