First Time Admissions

All children who are four years old at the beginning of the academic year, will start school in September, each year. All children within the school’s catchment area are eligible for admission at this school, provided that an application is made to the Local Authority. The school can admit children from outside of the catchment area if the planned admission number is not exceeded.

Please contact the School Office on 01530 242377 or admin@stanton-u-b.leics.sch.uk if you wish to make an appointment to visit, so that the headteacher can be available to show you around and answer any questions you may have.

In the Summer term before your child is due to attend the school, there will be opportunities for you and your child to visit, meet staff and familiarise yourselves with the school site.
