We look forward to welcoming you and hope that you are excited to see in person, all that our school has to offer your child and family.
Admission Authority
The Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Multi-Academy Trust is the admission authority for all the schools within the Trust and is responsible for determining the admissions policy.
On behalf of the Trust, the admissions are coordinated by the relevant Local Authority. All decisions relating to admission applications will be taken by the school’s Local Governing Body.

If your child turns 5 between 1st September 2024 and 31 August 2025 and you require a school place for September 2024, you can now apply for their place.
The application window will be open from Monday 6th November and the closing date for applications is Monday 15th January 2024. Applications can be made quickly and easily through the Nottingham City Council Admissions Hub.
Please also remember to submit a Supplementary Information Form if you wish for a school place to be considered under a faith criterion. Please note that you must include the supporting evidence with this form. If you are unable to locate the required faith evidence, please contact the parish where your child was baptised in good time for a ‘copy’ certificate to be supplied.
Full information on how to apply is available on the Nottingham City Council website.
You will be notified on 16 April 2024 if you have been given a school place.

Waiting lists
Parents whose children have not been offered a place at a school in the normal admissions round will be added to the school’s Waiting List unless they have been offered a place at a higher preference school.
The Waiting List will remain open until the end of the academic application year. If a parent wishes their child to remain on the waiting list, they must re-apply each academic year.

St Augustine’s normal intake into Reception each year is currently 45 children. Current Legislation limits the size of Early Years/Key Stage1 Classes to 30 and as a result, we operate with mixed classes throughout all stages of the school apart from Reception where we have 2 classes with 23 and 22 children.
