Admission Arrangements for 2022-2023

Every year, we welcome a brand new cohort of Reception children to our St Sebastian's family.

Children who are born between 1 September 2017 and 31 August 2018 are due to start Reception in September 2022.

If your child does fit within that category, you can apply for a school place, between 15^th November 2021 until the deadline of 15^th January 2022.

All applications are done through the Lincolnshire County Council admissions website.  Lincolnshire parents can apply online by clicking here for the link to Lincolnshire County Council's admissions page or call 01522 782030.

If applicants live outside of Lincolnshire then they need to apply to their home Local Authority even if they want a school in Lincolnshire.

If a parent or carer needs support with the application process due to a variety of reasons such as literacy issues or a language barrier please feel free to contact the Education Team on 01522 782030 or email:  schooladmissions@lincolnshire.gov.uk

School Appeals

Before you appeal

You have the right to appeal if your child does not get a place at Saint Sebastian's C of E Primary School. 

There are three types of appeal:

• For the September intake of reception appeals are held in blocks during late spring and summer.
• For midyear applications, appeals should be heard within 30 school days of being received.
• For a child with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan, you must contact your case worker.
