Admissions

Joining Our School

  • Joining at the start of Reception & Years 1 to 6

    Parents wishing to apply for a place for their child in one of our Reception classes or in a class in Years One to Six, please visit the Cambridgeshire Local Authority’s School Admissions website.


    This includes a new school catchment search facility so that you can find out if you are living in our school’s catchment area (although you do not need to be in catchment to apply).


    You can also apply for a place online.


  • Joining the School During the School Year

    Reception and Years One to Six


    If you wish to join the school at a time other than the start of the school year, please visit this section of the Cambridgeshire Local Authority website.

Ermine Street Church Academy is open to children from Reception through to Year 6.

Our Admissions Policy can be found below.

As stated in the policy, first priority is given to children who live on the Alconbury Weald development. Places are then offered beyond this area according to distance from the school. Whilst the school is growing, there is a limit on the number of places we can admit to each year group. This number is reviewed regularly by our Local Governing Body.

We currently offer 60 places in Reception and 60 places in all other year groups, a number of these places being held specifically for pupils in our catchment area of Alconbury Weald. 

If you are interested in applying the management of our admissions has been delegated to Cambridgeshire County Council. To apply for a place at Ermine Street Church Academy please complete the form found here. 


Prior to a child’s first official day at Ermine Street they are invited to spend a short transition session with us. This will enable them to meet the children and adults who they will be with and begin to become familiar with the school. From experience, we know that they make a significant difference to how quickly children settle in. When your child comes on their transition visit please bring your school admission form (which includes emergency contacts etc) which we will have previously given you.


If you are interested in coming to visit for a school tour, please contact the School Office via office@erminestreetca.org.uk or on 01480 276510.

We look forward to meeting you.
