Pippins Admissions
If you are applying for a primary school place for Reception year entry
In-Year Applications
The Local Authority no longer coordinates in-year admissions. To apply to join Pippins Primary School for the academic year 2026/27, please contact admissions@pippinsmat.co.uk.
We would advise you to read our Admissions Policy before applying. Should you be unable to collect the form in person, please contact the school office directly. The original Willow wording confirms that in-year applications are handled directly by the school.
Please note that the Local Authority continues to manage the allocation of Reception places. If you have a child due to start Reception in September 2027, you must apply through your home Local Authority.

SEN / EHCP Admissions
If your child has an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan, applications for a school place should be made through your Local Authority’s SEND team.
Please contact your home Local Authority for information about the admissions process for children with an EHC Plan.
Secondary School Transfers for Year 6
An application for a secondary school place should be made while your child is in Year 6, for admission to secondary school the following September.
Applications should be made through your home Local Authority, even if the secondary school you are applying for is in another Local Authority area.
It is important to apply by your Local Authority’s published deadline. Late applications may be considered after applications received on time and could reduce the likelihood of being offered one of your preferred schools.

Grammar Schools
Although a number of our children go on to attend grammar schools, Pippins Primary School does not tutor children for the 11+ tests.
Parents and carers considering a grammar school should check the individual grammar school or relevant consortium website for details of registration, testing dates and admission arrangements.
Appeals
If you are refused a place at a school for which you have applied, you have the right to appeal the decision. Appeals are dealt by MSK School Appeals. Further information and the appeal form can be found on the following links:
