Field Court Junior Academy

Admissions at FCJA

Below, you'll find out everything you need to know regarding applying for a place for your child.

Don't forget, we are a separate school to the Field Court Infant Academy; therefore parents will need to apply for a place at the Junior Academy following the county admissions process. You will receive a letter in the post about this which will provide you with details and deadlines of when you need to apply by.
