Admissions Information

As a Community School, we follow the Norfolk County Council policy for admissions to schools.

Children usually join the Barford family at the beginning of the Autumn Term in the year before their fifth birthday.

Admissions to school are co-ordinated by the Admissions team at County Hall, and parents of all children who are due to start school will receive a booklet and link to the online preference system directly from Norfolk County Council.  However, please do contact our school office if we can be of any assistance. 

To help ensure your child can join the Barford family from the start of their school journey, please select Barford as your first choice school.

Whilst children do sometimes gain a place if they select Barford as choice 2, due to the way the admissions system works,  this is less likely.  In the event that more children wish to join the Barford family at the start of reception than we have space for, the criteria in our admissions policy will be applied by Norfolk County Council.

For all the information relating to school admissions, and to make your application for your child to join the Barford family for their start of their school journey, please visit the Norfolk Schools Admission website.
