Normal year of entry (Reception Year) admissions to Great Whelnetham School are co-ordinated by the local authority and the Trust Board uses the published admission criteria to prioritise applications. These admissions applications are completed via Suffolk County Council website.
Great Whelnetham School is an own admission authority school for all other in year admissions - this means if you wish your child to join our school at any point other than when they start school in the Reception year.
We follow the Suffolk County Council admissions policy and our PAN (Published Admission Number) is 20 places for each year group from Reception to Year 6.
