Admission

We have a few places available in some year groups. If your child does not yet have a place, or you wish to change, please contact the school office.

Please see the school's Admission Policy below. Here you will also find the parish boundary information and the Supplementary Information Form (SIF/A) regarding Church allegiance.

Children are able to start at Sywell in the September following their 4^th birthday. Applications for reception can be made in the autumn term. The deadline is 15^th January 2025.

Applications must be made through the Local Authority in which your child resides by following this link.

If you wish to apply on faith grounds, please complete our Supplementary Information Form (SIF/A) which is available above in addition to the local authority application form and return to the school by 15^th January 2025.

How to appeal for a place at our school

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 see: www.peterborough-diocese.org.uk/church-schools/admission-and-appeals/

If you wish to appeal please contact the Appeals Administrator by emailing 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.

Timetable for appeals – September 2025 applications

The appeals timetable for 2025 will be published here once it is available.
