Melbourne Infant & Nursery School is a state school. In England you apply through the council where you live, using its common application form, even if the school is in another council area. The national closing date for primary places is 15 January.

When Melbourne Infant & Nursery School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after children, and children who stopped being looked after because they were adopted (or came under a residence order or special guardianship order). This includes children who appear (to the admission authority) to have left state care outside England through adoption; 2. Children living in the normal area served by the school both when the application is made and when the child is admitted, with brothers or sisters attending the school at both of those times; 3. Children living in the normal area served by the school both when the application is made and when the child is admitted, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Where children meet the same one of criteria 2, 3, 4 and 5 and a choice must be made between them, preference goes to those living nearest the school by straight line distance. The children and adults department measures the straight line distance with a Geographic Information System.
