Admissions
Primary admissions are currently co-ordinated by Wokingham Borough Council in line with their Admissions Policy. However, from December 20th 2025 we will be responsible for our own In-Year Admissions.
For years - current EYFS to year 6 - please complete an application form and email it along with the relevant documentation detailed within the form to: admissions@lambslane.wokingham.sch.uk
Our admissions arrangements document, which includes over-subscription criteria, is attached below.
For specific information and queries regarding your child's admission or application, please contact: admissions@lambslane.wokingham.sch.uk
Admissions into the Resource are co-ordinated by Wokingham Borough Council SEN and are included as part of our allocation.
Lambs Lane is a one form entry school which means our allocation for each year group is limited to 30 pupils. When there are too many applications received for places available at the school then the Admissions Criteria will be applied as stated in our policy.
Where we are over-subscribed, we will operate a waiting list and information about this can be obtained by calling the school office: 01189883820. Please note, to remain on the wait list you have to reapply each academic year.
Admissions are not processed over the school holiday periods and the inbox will next be checked when the school re-opens. We will respond to all admission enquiries with 15 school days (term time)

Once a child has been allocated a place at Lambs Lane, the school will send a letter to the parents/guardians confirming their place. Prior to starting school we will contact parents/guardians to arrange a visit. Where possible you will meet your child’s teacher and be given a New Entrants Pack which holds all the information needed for when the child starts school. This meeting is also an opportunity to answer any questions or worries that parents/guardians might have. For Reception new starters, please see the dedicated page click here.
Where we are over-subscribed, Wokingham Borough Council will operate a waiting list and information about this can be obtained from WBC's Admission Team. Please note, to remain on the wait list you have to reapply each academic year.
