For children born between 1st September 2019 and 31st August 2020
When to Apply: You should apply between 15 November 2023 and 15 January 2024. Lincolnshire County Council accepts applications until noon on 9th February 2024, but we cannot process any new applications or changes of applications after that deadline. Other authorities may not accept the changes. If an application is received after this time, it will be processed after national offer day. Applications will re-open on 17 April 2024.
How to Apply: For a Reception or Junior place, you must apply through your home local authority even if the schools you name on your application are not in Lincolnshire. You can apply online (at Lincolnshire County Council: school admissions applications); by phone (01522 782030); or by requesting a paper form. Apply using one method only. If you apply online and enter a valid email address, you will receive an email confirming your preferences. If you apply by phone and provide a valid email address, you will receive confirmation of your application by email. If you cannot provide a valid email address, we will send you a confirmation letter by post for you to verify and return.
School Offers: You will receive your school offer either via email or letter from 16 April 2024, depending on how you applied. We will assume you wish to accept the offer, unless you tell us otherwise.
