The Academy Governance Committee (AGC) have delegated responsibility for admissions in our school and are therefore responsible for all admissions.

If you wish to apply on faith grounds, please complete our Supplementary Information Form (SIF) which is available below in addition to the local authority application form and return to the school by 15th January.

If you are interested in joining our school and would like to arrange a visit please contact office@stmarys.pdet.org.uk.

You will be contacted within 15 school days to let you know if a place can be offered. If you make your application during the school holidays, it may take longer than normal to process.
If you wish to apply on faith grounds, please complete our Supplementary Information Form (SIF) in addition to the form above, which is available below, and return to the school.
If your child has an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) please do not use this form to apply as there is different process in place via the Local Authority. Please see this page for further information: https://www.northnorthants.gov.uk/specialist-send-support-services/send-support-service
If you have applied and been refused a place at our school (in any year group), you are entitled to appeal against that decision.
Appeals for PDET academies are administered by The Diocese of Peterborough Education team. For more information on the process please see: www.peterborough-diocese.org.uk/church-schools/admission-and-appeals/
If you wish to appeal please contact the Appeals Administrator by emailing education@peterborough-diocese.org.uk and ask for an appeals pack.
The pack includes some explanatory notes about the process of Admission Appeals and a Notice of Appeal form that, should you decide to proceed with an appeal, will need to be completed and returned by email if possible, but if not, to the Diocesan Office instead.
Appeals in relation to September 2025 applications
The appeals timetable will be published here once available.
