Nursery Admissions

Please note that a place in Nursery does not guarantee a place in Reception

 

Our standard admission number throughout the school is 90.  Children start full time education in Reception classes at the beginning of the school year in which they are five.  Places in Reception are offered to children up to the allocation limit according to the Authority’s admission criteria administered by the Allocations Section.  

A copy of the admission policy detailing admissions into all schools administered by the Admissions Department of Leeds City Council Children’s Services and is available from the School Office, Merrion House or here

Where there are more applications than places, then decisions are made according to the priority criteria set out by School Admissions in their admissions policy for all community schools.  These, in brief are: 

Children with a statement of special educational needs naming Westerton as the most suitable school or where School Admissions decide a child needs a place at Westerton to fulfil special educational needs.

Children with brothers or sisters who will be at the school at the start of the school year.

Parental preference, firstly for children for whom the school is the nearest Leeds school

 

ADMISSION BEYOND RECEPTION YEAR

The school is now in a position to offer a place for in-year transfers provided that there are no outstanding applications held by the Admissions Department of the Authority.
