What if I want my child to go to a Church of England primary school?

The decision on admissions to voluntary-aided Church of England schools rests with the governing body of the school.

You will need to fill in a common application form and return it to us, the local authority. Church of England primary schools give places according to their admissions policy. These policies can be looked at in the Primary & Secondary Booklet on our website www.stockton.gov.uk/schooladmissions.
If you live outside the admission zone and you are a practising Anglican, they will consider your application favourably.

The closing date for Primary and Secondary applications has now passed. If you have not completed an application form, please contact School Admissions on (01642) 526605/528546

Further information may be required which the school will request from yourself, for e.g. Baptismal certificate

If you are turned down, you can appeal against the decision. If you want to appeal, you should complete the form that is with your refusal letter, saying why you do not agree with the decision and send your form back to the school by the date specified.
You can get a booklet explaining your rights and the appeal procedure from School Admissions by phoning (01642) 526605. Or by looking on our website www.stockton.gov.uk/schooladmissions
