If you live in Cumbria and your child was born between 1st September 2016 and 31st August 2017, they will be due to start school in the Reception year group of September 2021. You must apply to Cumbria County Council for a primary or school place, under the Local Authority's Co-ordinated Admissions Scheme.
Cumbria County Council has produced a booklet entitled ‘Starting School in Cumbria – September 2021’ which gives you all the detailed information you need to help you apply for a reception school place. This booklet is available on the county council’s website at www.cumbria.gov.uk/schooladmissions or alternatively a copy is available to view at the school. You may apply either by completing the on-line application form on the county council’s website or you can download an application form (SA1) from the county council’s website, ask Heron Hill School for a form or contact the School Admissions and Appeals Team (01228 221582) and they will send a form to you. Please apply on-line or return your completed form to your preferred school by the closing date of 15th January 2021; it is vital to get your application in on time as there is less chance of getting a place at your preferred school if your application is late.

Open Days at Heron Hill School

Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 restrictions, we are unable to invite you to visit the Reception unit and meet our staff during Open Afternoons and it is unlikely that government guidance will change during the autumn term. We are therefore planning to upload a video onto our school website (address below) to provide a virtual tour of our Reception unit and an introduction to our Reception staff along with some relevant questions and answers.
This video will be available on the school website (click on ‘New Admissions’ then ‘Reception Starters’) from Monday 12th October. If you have any other queries or would like more information on applying for a Reception place at Heron Hill School please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Carmen Roberts, Business Manager, at the school (01539 721276). We would also like to send you our admissions pack with further details; we look forward to hearing from you. |
