The Local Authority has a duty to provide school places to all pupils resident in its area: Leicestershire achieves this by giving high priority to catchment area children and by allowing parental preference wherever possible. Blaby Stokes CE Primary School admissions policy and procedure supports Leicestershire’s position.

Parents must apply to their home Local Authority for a school place. (For example, if you live in Northamptonshire but would like to send your child to a school in Leicestershire, you must apply for that school via your Northamptonshire Council website). If you are a Leicestershire resident and would like to find out more information, or make an application, please visit their website.

• Application window opens: September 2023
• Application window closes: 15th January 2024
