School Admissions

General Admissions and in Year Admissions

If you would like your child to join our school you must first contact the County Admissions team on 01223 699200, look online at https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/residents/children-and-families/schools-learning/apply-for-a-school-place/primary-reception-junior-or-middle-school#making-your-application-5-0.

Please feel free to make an appointment to come and look around Colville if you would like to, either before or after your application. 

Nursery

Children can be admitted to our Nursery at the start of the term following their third birthday. Admissions are dealt with by school and forms can be collected from the school office or downloaded below. We have 26 morning places, 9am - 12pm, available. 

Forms can be collected from the school office between 8.30am-3.30pm. Returns can be emailed to office@colville.cambs.sch.uk or returned to the school office. 

Reception

The school year runs roughly from 1st September until the 31st August but you can see term dates at https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/residents/children-and-families/schools-learning/school-term-dates-closures.  Children are admitted to our Reception class at the beginning of the school year in which they become five. Parents have the opportunity to meet the Reception staff during the previous year and children spend time in school at the end of the Summer term. The first week is full time schooling, with a staggered start on day one. 

You are required to register by the end of January, by returning the admissions form to the Local Authority Admissions Team. Forms are obtainable at the school office or via the online method https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/residents/children-and-families/schools-learning/apply-for-a-school-place/primary-reception-junior-or-middle-school. 

Children joining after the beginning of term or from other schools are carefully monitored to ensure they settle as quickly as possible and we are used to having transient pupils. 

Parents and carers are always welcome to look round the school before deciding on admission and this usually looks like a school tour with either the Head or the Deputy. 

If you wish to appeal your child's school place the admissions team have a dedicated information page at

Colville Speech and Language Centre

The Colville Speech and Language Centre is housed within the main school buildings. The centre has twelve full time places for children with statements of special educational needs that have severe speech and language difficulties. The children are referred to the centre through Student Assessment Service.

The children that attend the centre integrate with the rest of the school during afternoon lessons and for trips and events that occur during the year.
