Admissions

F1- In September 2022, we opened our own F1 Nursery provision for three year old children. We are proud of the impact this provision has already made upon our youngest children’s progress and we are excited to see the provision evolve over time, offering the children of Leasowe Primary School the very best early years education in a caring, nurturing and stimulating environment. Please take a look at our introductory video on the EYFS page.

If you are interested in a place in F1 for your child, please contact the school office on 0151 638 1126, or simply pop in. We would love to see you. In addition to this, there will be a series of drop in sessions throughout the year which you are more than welcome to come along to.

F2- Under Wirral’s Policy for admitting children, they are accepted into mainstream primary education in the school year of their fifth birthday. Children who will have their fifth birthday between 1 September 2023 and 31 August 2024 will start school full time in September 2024.

Parents who wish their child to have a place at our school must complete a Parental Preference Form and return it to the Local Authority during the December before they are due to start. The Authority handles all the applications for places and then informs parents and the school.

If the child lives within the school’s catchment area a place is usually awarded. If the child lives out of zone an application can still be made but will be considered by the Local Education Authority and if classes are not full a place will be offered.

In June, meetings are held for parents of children who have been accepted and who are starting Reception in September. At these meetings parents will be given information about the way the school runs and about the curriculum. They will also have the opportunity to ask any questions.

Following these meetings, the children will be invited to spend some time in school before they start, to help them become familiar with staff and the school.

Parents should contact the LA to find out about arrangements for Admissions and Admissions appeals .
