Somersham is a Local Authority maintained school, so our admissions are administrated by the Local Authority.

Every school has a Published Admissions Number or PAN for short. The PAN for Somersham is currently 15 children per year group.

If our school has places available in a year group, then we can accept in-year admissions of pupils from other schools. However, we always encourage this to happen at the end of a half-term and that parents have discussed this with their child's current Headteacher before finally deciding to apply.

For parents of children who would like their child to start school in Reception next year, you have to apply by Wednesday 15 January 2025. Any applications after this date are considered as 'late' applications, which are the lowest priority in the selection criteria.

To apply for places for any year group, you will find all the information you need by clicking this link.
