Looking for a school place for your child? Open Days for Prospective Families!

Will your child start reception in September 2027?

You should apply for your child to start in Reception during the school year that they have their fourth birthday. So if your child was born between 1st September 2022 and 31st August 2023, and either they are now four or will turn four by the end of August, it is time to start looking for the right school for your child and your family… maybe that could be Naburn?

We hope that our website will give you an insight into some of the things that make Naburn Church of England Primary such a special place – but we would also love to give prospective families the opportunity to meet us in person. 

We will be holding the following Open Days:

  • Wednesday 21st October, 3.30pm till 5pm 
  • Thursday 5th November, 9.30am till 11am

Why Naburn?

  • We have small classes, so our teachers know the children really well. In fact we are just like one big, happy family!
  • We are proud of our test results, but also our broad curriculum too, especially our music, PE and art
  • We have an After School Club, run by school, on site
  • We have a ‘future forest’ where exciting outdoor learning takes place
  • We are proud of our lovely old building (built in 1872) and all the history it holds
  • Situated in the heart of the community, we strongly value our links with the local Church and the wider community
  • Our positive school vision, values and aims are at the heart of all we do

Your PTA Needs You!

Our wonderful little school has a small PTA that organises and runs fun fundraising events several times a year.

If you could spare just a couple of hours here and there per year, we would like to welcome you!

We warmly welcome new (and existing!) parents to contact Claire or Natalie at the school gate for further information.

Thanks

Naburn PTA

Starting Reception in September 2027?

You should apply for your child’s place at primary or infant school in the school year your child turns 4 – so if your child was born between 1st September 2022 and 31st August 2023, it is nearly time to apply a place in Reception for September 2027!

Applications opened from the 12th September. Please note applying early does not give any priority, although to have the best chance of your application being successful you should complete and submit your application by the deadline which is the 15th January 2027. You can read more about the admissions process here.

Please do get in touch if you would like to have a tour and find out more about us!
