Admission arrangements

Admission Policy Consultation

Schools must consult every 7 years on their Admission Policy regardless of whether any changes occur or not.

Our 6 week consultation will therefore open on Tuesday 1st October and close on Wednesday 13th November. There are no changes to our previous admission policy.

Should you have any comments regarding our policy, please contact:

Applications

To apply for a place at Ermine Academy, here’s what you need to do:

Check when your child is due to start – click What year is my child in?
Read the Admissions Policy (link below). It is important to take note of the oversubscription criteria as you may have elements which give you priority over others should we receive more applicants than places.
Complete the Council’s admissions form. Primary school admissions closed on 15 January 2025 but reopens on 17 April 2025 and closes again on 17 May 2025.

Any applications received after the closing date will be considered after all of those completed and submitted on time.

What happens next

If your application is on time, you will be able to collect your offer on 17 April 2025.
If you apply by paper form, your offer will be posted on 17 April 2025. If your application is late, The County Council will process it after 29 May 2025 then send you a letter.
Unsuccessful applicants will be placed on a waiting list. If a place becomes available this will be allocated using the School’s Admissions Policy and over subscriptions criteria.
Unsuccessful applicants have the right to appeal once every academic year – information will be sent with the decision letter from Lincolnshire County Council. The deadline to appeal to be received is 19 May 2025. Click here to appeal.
