ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS FOR 2025/26 ACADEMIC YEAR

John Wycliffe Primary School is a member of Inspiring Primaries Academy Trust. This means that the Trust is the admissions authority; however, the Trust delegates admission decisions to each of its school's local governing body. 

The catchment area for John Wycliffe Primary School is outlined in this catchment area map.

In formulating our admissions policy, the school has consulted with Leicester Diocesan Board of Education, local academies, Leicestershire County Council and the required governing bodies of community and voluntary controlled schools for which the Local Authority is the admission authority.
