Reception Admissions at Four/Five Years Old:
Children will be admitted to Reception Class at the beginning of the academic year in which they are five, that is in September, initially part time, to aid transition from home/Nursery, building up to full time normally within two weeks. However part time may continue for longer for some children depending on educational/social needs and by agreement with parents and carers..
The school has a planned admission limit, agreed with the LEA, of 60 children for Reception, Year 1,2,3,4,5 and 6.
To apply for a reception class place in our school you are required to apply online using the Bradford Council website found here.
A year group is full when it reaches the agreed number of children but more children could be allowed into school by the Headteacher and Governors, and allowed by the Council, if the school’s budget allows this, if there is a specific need or if there are insufficient school places in the area.
If a parent or carer asks for a place where the year group is full, or where all the classes are full, then their child’s name will be put on a waiting list, by the Local Authority.
To change schools in the school year, please find the Primary In Year Application Form here.
