Grace Cook Primary School & Nursery is part of the Orwell Multi‑Academy Trust (OMAT), and follows Suffolk County Council’s admissions arrangements for all applications.

• For children starting Reception or Nursery in September, please apply through Suffolk County Council during the standard admissions timeline.

• For in-year transfers or admissions outside the normal entry point, please contact the school office directly, and we will guide you through internal application procedures.

We welcome visits—please contact us to arrange a tour so you can meet our team, see our facilities, and get a feel for life at Grace Cook. If your preferred school is full, we can explain the waiting list process and your right to appeal.

Admissions decisions are based on the Trust’s published oversubscription criteria, aligned with local authority guidance and statutory priorities.
