Admissions
The East Sussex County Council Admissions Team is responsible for co-ordinating and allocating school places in East Sussex.
The governing bodies of voluntary aided schools, trust schools and academies also have a role to play in ranking applications against their own admissions criteria.
Once school places are finalised, the Admissions Team will send your school individual details of those children who will be starting in September. Every parent will receive an admissions form, which they will return direct to schools to confirm that they accept their child's place.
Primary Admissions Deadline for Reception Pupils
The deadline for applying for reception places for September 2026 is 15th January 2026.
