Thank you for considering Beoley First School for your child.
We understand that this may be the first time you have to consider schooling for your child, and we are here to help.
As a first school, you will be working with our school for five years, so it is an important step. We would recommend parents and children visit our school to get a feel for the school and pre-school, speak with staff, see our excellent facilities and all that we have to offer your child.
Apply for a Reception place
You are required to submit and online Local Authority admissions application form when starting school for the first time. Visit www.worcestershire.gov.uk/schooladmissions to make your application or telephone School admissions on 01905 822700 if you need assistance.
The application deadline is by the 15th January each year.
Parents/carers will be notified by the LA on behalf of the Governing Body by letter, of the outcome of their application by or on a nominated date.
In year transfers
If transferring schools, In-year applications can be made through Worcestershire Children First.
Admissions information
Places within our school are limited to 100. Each year group has one class of about 20 children. We often receive many more applications than available places and ensure we act in a fair and equitable way; our admissions criteria are applied to all applications. The Governors and Trustees consult on the admissions criteria when any changes are made and at least every seven years. Our last consultation process was in Autumn 2022.
Our Policy has the latest admissions criteria.
Waiting lists
The school maintains a waiting list for places. If a place arises, these will be offered to those children on the waiting list. The order on the waiting list is maintained according to our admissions criteria. These waiting lists are deleted at the end of every term so parents wishing for their child to remain on the waiting list, must let us know. We know life gets very busy, so we do try to contact those on the waiting list to check their current position.
Appeals
In accordance with the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, parents may appeal against a decision by the Governors to refuse an application for a place. All appeals must be made in writing to the Clerk of the Governors for Beoley First School and to the Headteacher of the school.
