School Tours - 2024 Admissions

We are providing school tours for families who want to come and see us in readiness for September 2024 admissions!

If your child's 4th birthday falls between 1 September 2023 and 31 August 2024, you will need to apply for their primary school place. If you would like to come and have a look around the school, please call the school office: 01327 702878 or email: admin@fhis.inmat.org.uk to arrange a suitable time.

To enable us to adhere to our Visitor Risk Assessment during your visit, please be aware of the following:

• Parents/Carers who want to bring any children with them should book to come after 3:30 pm.
• Parents/Carers willing to attend on their own may come during the day.

 

How to apply

West Northamptonshire Council is responsible for coordinating the application process for entry into Reception as well as in-year transfers for pupils in Year R to Year 2. If you live in West Northamptonshire, your application is therefore made to WNC rather than the local authority where the preferred school is situated. If you live outside West Northamptonshire and want to apply for a place at FHIS at the normal point of entry, you need to apply through admissions at your local authority.

The application process opened on 8 September 2023. To apply, please visit: School Admissions | West Northamptonshire Council (westnorthants.gov.uk)
