Parents and carers of children due to start school in September 2027 can now apply for a Reception place at one of the seven primary academies within Future Generation Trust.
Starting school is an exciting milestone for both children and families, and our academies are looking forward to welcoming a new cohort of Reception pupils to begin their educational journey.
Across the Trust, our schools provide nurturing and inclusive learning environments where every child is encouraged to thrive academically, socially and emotionally. From engaging indoor learning spaces to inspiring outdoor environments, our Reception classes are designed to help children develop confidence, independence and a lifelong love of learning.
