We will be holding tours of the school and giving you the opportunity to ask questions, on Wednesday 9th October at 5.30pm and Thursday 10th October at 9.15am. Please report to the main school office at one of these times if you would like to join a tour.
In Year Admissions into The Duke of Bedford Primary School
If your child is already of school age and attending another Peterborough school and you wish to apply for a place at our school you can either request an In-Year Transfer Form from your child’s current school or complete an online application at https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/residents/schools-and-education/school-admissions/moving-schools-in-year-transfer. Once completed this must be forwarded to Admissions and your child will be placed on our relevant year group waiting list, if we have one. Offers are made by the Local Authority Admissions Team every 2 weeks during term time. You will be contacted by School Admissions or by our school should your child be offered an In Year place at our school.
If your child is transferring from a school outside of Peterborough, please contact Peterborough City Council School Admissions on 01733 864007 for advice.
