We would be delighted if you chose to send your child to All Hallows CE Primary School.

Admissions and Catchment Area

Our catchment area includes the parish boundaries of All Hallows Gedling and St Paul’s, Carlton.

To check your catchment schools, please visit:
http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/findmynearest and enter your postcode.

You will usually be allocated more than one catchment school, as we are a church school.

Although we are a Church school, we are maintained by the Local Authority and warmly welcome children of all faiths and backgrounds. Attendance at church may support an application but is not essential.

Applications are managed by Nottinghamshire County Council and typically open in the Autumn term, with school places confirmed during the Easter period. If a place is not offered, there is an appeals process, with full details available from the Local Authority.

For more information about our admissions arrangements, including criteria and guidance, please see the details below. Most of our pupils are admitted under the ‘Other children’ category.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school—we are always happy to help.

Attendance at church is defined as having attended the recognised place of worship, for at least twice a month for a minimum period of one year (including week-day worship) immediately prior to the date of application, at a Christian church that is a member of Churches Together in England or the Evangelical Alliance (www.cte.org.uk or www.eauk.org)
Attendance at other recognised places of worship must confirm that the parent or child has attended at least twice a month for a minimum period of one year (including week-day worship) immediately prior to the date of application.
In the event that during the period specified for attendance at worship the church or other recognised place of worship has been closed for public worship and has not provided alternative premises for that worship, the requirements of these admission arrangements in relation to attendance will only apply to the period when the church or alternative premises have been available for public worship.
