Admissions to Nursery
Admissions to our Nursery unit are managed by the office in liaison with our EYFS Lead/Nursery Reception teacher is Mrs Ellis.
Following a tour of the school and meeting the staff, we will provide you with an information pack, which contains information about the school, expectations, uniform and all the forms you will need to complete to apply for your child’s place. It is possible for you meet our school cook on this tour of the school and discuss any dietary requirements your child may have if they are coming to Lovers’ Lane and will be having school dinners.
How do you apply for a Reception place at Newark Flying High for September?
Our admissions from Reception onwards are controlled by Nottinghamshire Local Authority, not the school directly, so we are never able to tell parents whether or not we have a space for your child. Parents can ask directly about this and how to apply for a school place by clicking the link below or by phoning admissions on 0300 5008080. Admissions made online are preferred.
Children who live outside of Nottinghamshire should contact their home local authority for information about applying. Any families new to Nottinghamshire need to visit www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/admissions to make an application.

In-Year Admissions – Reception-Year 6
In-year admissions are are not controlled by the school, but by the Admissions Team at the Local Authority. Please see below for information on how to apply for a in-year place at our school.
The new School Admissions Code 2021 came into force on 1st September 2021 and all admission authorities are required to comply with the mandatory requirements of the Code.
In order to comply with the new requirements, Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC) as the admission authority for community and voluntary controlled schools has varied its arrangements. The variations were approved at Children and Young People’s Committee on 26th July 2021.
