Who gets priority
Nottinghamshire sets Bunny CofE Primary and Nursery School's admissions policy and oversubscription criteria, and you apply through the council.
In England, a child whose education, health and care plan names the school is admitted first. Then, when there are more applicants than places, looked-after and previously looked-after children come first, followed by the school's own criteria, which usually include siblings and distance from home.
As a Church of England school, Bunny CofE Primary and Nursery School may give priority to children of families of that faith. Check its policy for any supplementary form and evidence it asks for.
Joining during the school year
Bunny CofE Primary and Nursery School has 104 pupils for 105 places. It is close to full, so places outside the normal entry year depend on the year group. Moving mid-year? Apply through Nottinghamshire's in-year admissions process.
