Mornington Primary School
Admissions
First Admissions into Reception Year
This process is handled directly by the local authority. If you have a child who is due to start school in the September of the following year, you should receive a letter around November time.
All information you need can be found on the:
Mornington Primary School Catchment Information
School Details | Nottingham County Council
Admissions to year groups other than the intake year
Applications for admission to other year groups will be considered in relation to the published admission number (PAN). If places are available within the year group, applications will be considered in accordance with the current published admission criteria for admission to the school. If places are available, the child will normally be admitted to the school.
In Year School Admissions
You may wish to move your child to our school within a school year. This is possible, subject to available places. You must apply directly to the school using the in year application form below. Once the transfer has been agreed by both schools, providing there is space in the year group applied for, then a start date is decided and a transition process begins. This is normally within 15 school days of application.
If you would like to visit our school, please contact the office to arrange an appointment by email office@morningtonprimary.org or calling 0115 9757745.

Open Days for September 2026
A warm welcome to our Mornington community.

This is achieved through high standards in teaching and high expectations of learning as well as promoting self-esteem and ensuring that all children feel valued. Making the right choice of school for our children is one of the most important decisions that we have to make as parents.
