School Admissions

Newbold Church of England Primary School is a school whose foundation is solidly built on the teachings of Christ’s Gospel. The ethos in the school is unashamedly Christian in character. We enjoy close links with our parish church of St. John The Evangelist, Newbold.

Derby Diocesan Multi Academy Trust (DDAT) is the Admissions Authority for the school and has delegated all matters relating to admissions to the Local Governing Body of Newbold Church of England Primary School.  It is the duty of the Governing Body to draw up and implement both the Admission Policy and Over-subscription Criteria. Any comments regarding the Admission arrangements can be sent to the Chief Executive Officer (Derby Diocesan Academy Trust), Derby Church House, Full Street, Derby, DE1 3DR

The admission policy has been adopted by the Local Academy Committee.

In all cases admissions will be made via the Local Authority’s Centralised Admission System.

Consultation on Newbold CE Primary School Admission Arrangements for September 2027

The Local Trust Committee (formally called the Local Academy Committee) are proposing to consult on a revised school admissions policy for September 2027.  The proposed changes are as follows:

• Local Academy Committee has been amended to Local Trust Committee throughout the policy.
• The policy has been streamlined in line with all other DDAT school admissions policies.  We have different versions of the policy across our schools and therefore we are streamlining our policies further for consistency across all schools for 2027/28 admissions.

The consultation period will commence on 20^th October 2025 and run until 28^th November 2025. During this time, individuals and organisations are invited to express their views and any concerns about the proposed admissions policy for Newbold CE Primary School.

The proposed Admissions Policy for the 2027/28 academic year is available to download here:
