Starting school - applications for Reception
To apply for a child to start school, parents must submit their Common Application Form stating their preferred schools to the London Borough of Croydon. Applications open on the 1st September and close on 15th January.

If you are resident outside the London Borough of Croydon, you should apply through your own Local Authority for Reception.

In-year admissions
St Peter’s Primary School is part of the Croydon Council’s Co-ordinated Admissions Scheme for In-Year Admissions.
Applications for admission to Reception after 1st September and for admission into Years 1 to 6 must be made to Croydon Council using their In-Year Application Form. If you wish to apply for a place at St Peter’s Primary School, you must name the school as one of your preferences on the application form and return it to Croydon Council.

Waiting lists
Where there are more applicants than places available, the school will maintain a waiting list according to the oversubscription criteria detailed in the school’s admission arrangements without regard to the date the application was received or when a child’s name was added to the waiting list.
Positions on the waiting lists may go down as well as up. This is because other children might be added to the waiting list who have a greater priority for a place against the school’s admission criteria; for example, when new families move into the area or when other families who had not previously named St Peter’s Primary School as a preference, ask to go on the waiting list after the initial allocations date.
If you have applied for a place and were unsuccessful, please contact the school office to check your child’s position on the waiting list.
