THE DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION GIVES SAXMUNDHAM FREE SCHOOL THE GO-AHEAD!

 It is with great pleasure we can announce that Saxmundham Free School has been given the go-ahead to open in September 2012.

Saxmundham Free School will be accepting children into Years 7, 8 & 9 and all parents who have expressed an interest in a place for their child at Saxmundham Free School will be sent a letter within the next couple of days confirming their child’s place and details on how to accept this place.

Those parents interested in applying for a place for their child from September 2013 onwards will now be able to do so via the Suffolk County Council Admissions Process (CAF1 form).

For those that have not yet applied for a place for September 2012, and would like to do, so please contact the Seckford Foundation on enquiries@saxmundhamfreeschool.org.uk or 01394 615186 and someone will advise as to what to do next.

Saxmundham Free School would not have come to fruition without the support of the local parent group and others in the community.  On behalf of all connected with the Seckford Foundation Free Schools Trust thank you for helping to make it a reality.
