Dunkirk Primary Admission Arrangements
Dunkirk Primary and Nursery School has two campuses, Highfield's campus (Marlborough Street, NG7 2LE) and Abbey Campus (Lenton Boulevard, NG7 2ET). At this stage of the process, parents and carers are applying for a place at Dunkirk Primary & Nursery School and not for a specific campus.
Once the Local Authority has allocated school places and parents have been informed, the Head Teacher and Governors will meet to decide campus allocations. Pupils who have gained a place at Dunkirk Primary and Nursery School could be offered a place at either the Highfield's campus or Abbey campus.
The attached policy below provides further information on how Nottingham City Admissions Department will allocate places and the criteria the Head Teacher and Governors will use to determine allocation to either Highfield's Campus or Abbey Campus.
At this time, Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and 2 are at Abbey Campus, and Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 are at Highfield's Campus.
