School Admissions
Parents and carers considering applying for a place at our school are warmly encouraged to make an appointment to visit us. Please contact us on 01246 822324 to arrange an appointment.
Bolsover Church of England Junior School is a school whose foundation is solidly built on the teachings of Christ’s Gospel. The ethos in the school is unashamedly Christian in character. We enjoy close links with our parish church of St. Mary and St. Laurence, Bolsover.
Derby Diocesan Multi Academy Trust (DDAT) is the Admissions Authority for the school and has delegated all matters relating to admissions to the Local Academy Committee (Governing Body) of Bolsover Church of England Junior School. It is the duty of the Local Academy Committee to draw up and implement both the Admission Policy and Over-subscription Criteria. Any comments regarding the admission arrangements can be sent to the Chief Executive Officer (Derby Diocesan Academy Trust), Deepdale Business Park, Ashford Road, Bakewell, Derbyshire DE45 1GT. Telephone: 0333 3554353. Email: info@ddat.org.uk
The admission policy has been adopted by the Local Academy Committee and applies to all applications for the school year 2025-26.
In all cases, admissions will be made via the Local Authority’s Centralised Admission System: Apply for a school place - Derbyshire County Council
All decisions relating to admission applications will be taken by the Governing Body of the school.
Consultation on Bolsover Church of England Junior School Admission Arrangements for September 2027
Consultation on Bolsover Church of England Junior School Admission Arrangements for September 2027
The Local Trust Committee (formally called the Local Academy Committee) are proposing to consult on a revised school admissions policy for September 2027. The proposed changes are as follows:
- Local Academy Committee has been amended to Local Trust Committee throughout the policy.
- The policy has been streamlined in line with all other DDAT school admissions policies. We have different versions of the policy across our schools and therefore we are streamlining our policies further for consistency across all schools for 2027/28 admissions.
The consultation period will commence on 20th October 2025 and run until 28th November 2025. During this time, individuals and organisations are invited to express their views and any concerns about the proposed admissions policy for Bolsover CE Junior School.
The proposed Admissions Policy for the 2027/2028 academic year is available to download below.
If you require a hard copy, please contact the school office on: 01246 822324.
In accordance with statutory DfE guidance, the consultation will run for at least six weeks and, as an interested party of Bolsover CE Junior School, we are keen to hear your views; therefore, we invite you to participate in the consultation if you have any concerns regarding the matter.
All responses to the consultation should be made in writing and submitted before 12 noon on Friday 28th November 2025 to: admissionsconsultation@ddat.org.uk
