Primary School Admissions

First day at school

Children start full-time primary school in the academic year in which they turn five years of age. The first class they will attend is called the reception class. The following years classes are called Year 1 through to Year 6.

The children who are due to start primary school reception class in September 2010 were born between 1st September 2005 and 31st August 2006.

Parents will be invited to submit their preferences for the Primary School they would like their child to attend. Preference forms will be sent to the child's home address in January 2010. These forms need to be completed and returned by 26th February 2010. These forms are for the 2010-11 intake.

If your child currently attends a school nursery in Middlesbrough, the school will forward your child's details to us to enable us to send out your application pack. Please note that a place in a school nursery does not guarantee a place in the Primary School, also you must apply for a reception place even if your child already attends the schools nursery.

If your child is not attending a school nursery, you need to contact the Admissions Team to supply us with your child's details in December 2009 so an application pack can be issued.

A booklet is available containing information and help in the transition to Primary School. Go to the Primary and Secondary Education in Middlesbrough document.

Letters will be sent to parents on 26th April 2010 informing them which school their child will attend.

In the event that a parent is not happy with the school that has been offered there is an appeals procedure
