Admissions

Welcome from the Headteacher, Mr Lobb

Welcome to St John Fisher Catholic Voluntary Academy.  We serve the Parish of English Martyrs (Alvaston and Chellaston).  The Patron Saint of our school is Saint John Fisher.

We are a small school situated in Alvaston, Derby. We have the capacity to educate 230 children and are part of St Ralph Sherwin Catholic Multi Academy Trust. St John Fisher is a diverse community where every child is valued as a gift from God and every child is welcomed.

We admin up to 30 children in Reception and Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2).  We admit up to 35 children in Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6) so we do have spaces each year for children who currently attend local infant schools to join us as they move into KS2.

In-Year Admissions

In Year Admissions

An application can be made for a place for a child at any time outside the admission round and the child will be admitted where there are available places. An application should be made to Derby City Council.

Parents are advised to read the admission arrangements carefully before making their application.

If there are no places available, the child will be added to the waiting list. Please see the admission arrangements for more details.

You will be advised of the outcome of your application in writing as soon as possible. Applicants must be informed of the outcome of their application within 15 school days of receipt, but the aim is to notify applicants of the outcome of their application within 10 school days of receipt.

You have the right to appeal to an independent appeal panel if your application is unsuccessful.

If you have any questions in relation to in-year admissions please contact admin@djf.srscmat.co.uk
