Frant is a voluntary controlled school and the County Council makes arrangements for admissions at age 4+. You will find a detailed description of how to apply for a school place on the East Sussex website.
Please use the online Synergy Parent Portal to apply for a school place. If you require assistance, please contact admissions@eastsussex.gov.uk or 0300 330 9472. The closing date for primary school applications is 15th January 2025.
The admission limit for Frant is currently set at 15 as the number of children entering the Reception Year Group. If the School is over-subscribed, the authority uses a range of criteria to decide entry, including siblings already in the school and distance from home to school.
All children start full time in September, although there is usually a staggered start in the first few weeks to aid the children’s transition into school. Parents who are considering applying for places at Frant Primary School are invited to attend one of two New Parent Open sessions held in the Autumn Term.
Please consult our admissions policy Admissions Policy VC September 2024 for information on how places are allocated.
