Admissions
Places in our Nursery are allocated according to availability in the term after a child’s third birthday. Parents wishing their child to attend our nursery should fill in an application form at the school office or you can click the link below to complete the application online, the child will then be added to the waiting list. If you have recently moved into the area and require a place in nursery please contact the school office to enquire about the availability of places.
Requests for places in Reception should be made directly to Leeds City Council admissions department, the number for admissions is 0113 222 4414. Parents are required to fill in a preference form which you should receive during the school year before your child is due to start Reception. The school office can help you with this process.
Admissions at all other times will be dealt with by our school office. If you are new to the area or are looking to transfer from another school please contact the school office to enquire about available places. If there are no spaces available and you would like to place your child on our waiting list, an In-Year-Common-Preference Form must be completed, your child's current school will have an ICPF form or there's a link below if you would like to print one off at home, the ICPF must be completed by your child's current school and then sent on directly to us.
At whatever stage your child starts school with us here at Westwood we will ensure they settle in as quickly and happily as possible. You will be contacted in good time prior to your child’s start date and arrangements will be made for you and your child to visit to the school, have a meeting with the head and class teacher and for all relevant information to be passed onto you.
Waiting List
If you have a child on our waiting list and a place becomes available we will contact you to offer a place. If no contact has been made, this would mean a place has not become available. The waiting list's for all our Year groups opens every September on the first day of each academic year and closes on 31st August. If you have a child who is still on our waiting list at the end of the academic year and would like them re-adding to the waiting list when the new year begins, you must re-apply.
Deadlines for Applying for a Reception Place 2023
Children born between 1 September 2018 and 31 August 2019 are due to start primary school in September 2023. You can apply from 1 November 2022. The deadline to apply is 15 January 2023. We recommend choosing five schools to give your child the best chance of getting a place at a school you prefer. Going to a school's nursery does not guarantee your child a place at that school. We offer primary school places on 17 April 2023 (offer day). If you applied through our online application portal we'll email you with your child's offer. We'll send the email during the working day. If you applied in any other way, you'll receive an offer letter to your registered home address (a few days after offer day). For help with your application, contact us on: Phone: 0113 222 4414 Email: startingprimary@leeds.gov.uk
