The arrangements for the admission of children into the reception year are made by the admissions sections of the Local Authority. All children are able to apply for a place in the academic year of their fifth birthday. The admissions procedure to county schools is clearly explained on the Northamptonshire County Council website page under applying for a primary school place. All applications for reception year are made online.
