Starting School: Reception 2027
2027 Intake - Reception Open Days
If your child was born between 1 September 2022 and 31 August 2023, and you live in Cambridgeshire you need to apply for Reception for September 2027. You can apply now – the closing date for applications is 15th January 2027.
Applications submitted before 15th January 2027 will receive an offer on 16th April 2027 - If you applied online and requested confirmation by email, you will receive an email, otherwise your offer will be sent by second class post. If you miss the January deadline, 2nd round allocations will be processed in the order in which they are received, and allocated on 24th May 2027. The earlier you apply – the better chance you have of securing your child’s school place.
We’re very pleased to be able to offer tours of our fantastic school this year, giving prospective parents an opportunity to see our excellent facilities and to meet our friendly staff and children. Reception Open Days for the September 2027 intake are as follows:
- Monday 12th October - 10.30-11.00
- Wednesday 14th October – 2.00-2.30 - CANCELLED DUE TO SCHOOL CLOSURE
- NEW DATE: Wednesday 11th November 2.00 - 2.30
- Monday 19th October 4.30-5.00
To book your place, please contact the school office – either call 01353 860235 or email office@littleport.cambs.sch.uk. When contacting the office, please advise:
- Your name
- The date you will attend
- How many people will attend (children are of course very welcome to come along)
It is very difficult for us to accommodate individual visits at other times so this will not be offered as an option. If you have any family or friends who have children of this age, please let them know and invite them to come along.
