The schools on-line admissions service for entry into Reception in September 2025 is now open. Please apply using the On-line Admissions Service. The closing date for Reception applications is 18 November 2024. Late applications are processed after those received on time, so it is important you submit your application by the closing date – 18th November 2024. Parents are reminded that if their child is currently in nursery, there is no guarantee of a place in reception at that school as a separate formal application must be made. Should a parent wish to submit a paper application please contact School Admissions on 01978 298991 or email [email protected]. Paper applications should be returned directly to the Local Authority Admissions Service. It will take some time for the allocation process to be completed, but you will be informed by 16 April 2025 whether or not your child has been allocated a place at your preferred school. You can find information about how to apply and ‘frequently asked questions’ on our website – WCBC School Admissions Should your home address, or other circumstances change before the end of the allocation period set by the LA, or you require any further advice please contact the Admissions Office on 01978 298991 or email [email protected].
