Admissions criteria for infant and primary schools 2023-24 (leicester.gov.uk)
You can apply for up to four schools on your application. We strongly recommend that you maximise the four preferences open to you and that you include your catchment area school. This is likely to be a nearby school and priority is usually given to children who live in the catchment area. Find schools in your catchment area.
It is important to get lots of information before deciding on your preferred schools and the order you would like to put them on your application. We will offer you the highest preferred school, if your child qualifies for a place there, so please consider your order of preferences carefully.
