Applications for September 2025 intake should be made to your child’s home local authority, this may not necessarily be to Nottinghamshire County Council.

In the event of over-subscription, Larkfields Junior School Governors use the following set of criteria:

• Children looked after by a local authority and previously looked after children.
• Children who attend the linked infant school at the closing date for applications and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school or the linked infant school.
• Other children who attend the linked infant school at the closing date for applications.
• Children who live in the catchment area at the closing date for applications, who do not attend the linked infant school but who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school or the linked infant school.
• Other children who live in the catchment area at the closing date for applications and do not attend the linked infant school
• Children who live outside the catchment area and who do not attend the linked infant school but who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school or the linked infant school.
• Children who live outside the catchment area.

Within each of the criteria, priority will be given to children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies (by straight line). Distances are measured from the main administrative point at the school campus to an address point (using eastings and northings as defined by Ordnance Survey) to the child’s home using the local authority’s computerised distance measuring software.
