HOW TO APPLY
All parents should consult the Derbyshire Local Authority booklet "How to apply for a place at Primary School", which gives full details of the admissions process. Parents are required to complete the Local Authority's common application form, available from Derbyshire County Council, which has to be returned to them by the set closing date. You can find further details and apply online by logging onto www.derbyshire.gov.uk or you can apply by phoning Call Derbyshire on 08456 058 058.

Once completed the form should be returned together with a copy of any relevant baptismal/dedication certificate to:
St Anne's Catholic Primary School

Please note emailed supplementary forms are not admissible, due to the fact that parental signatures are required.
Supplementary forms can be completed for a child of any age and returned to school. Once received forms are placed on file and the Local Authoity pack will then be sent to you at the appropriate time.
Parents of baptised Catholic children, or children dedicated in another Christian denomination, are required to give full details of baptism/dedication and provide a copy of the baptismal certificate with the supplimentary form. The school requires copies of your child's birth certificate prior to their entry.
LATE APPLICATIONS
