Applying for a place in Reception in September 2025

You need to apply for September 2025 if your child:

  • was born between 1 September 2020 and 31 August 2021 (for a place in Reception).
  • If your child will be in Year 2 at an infant school in September 2024 (for a place in a junior school).

Please note: if your child is in Year 2 at a primary school (i.e. not an infant school) and you want to apply for a junior school place, you will need to apply instead via the In-Year process.

The applications process opens on 1 November 2024 and the deadline for applying for a Reception or Junior place is 15 January 2025. If you apply by this date, you will receive your child’s school offer on National Offer Day (16 April 2025).

Applications made after this date will be classified as late and not considered until after 16 April 2025, by which time many schools will be full and you are much less likely to be offered a place at your preferred school.

To make a late application please apply online.

There is an extended deadline of 1 February 2025 if your address changes before then. So if you have moved house and are submitting an application before 1 February 2025, please include relevant documentation of your move with your email (tenancy agreement or completion letter from solicitor) as we will then be able to class your application as on time.

Applying for a place at Clapham Terrace Community Primary School when changing school

If you are a Warwickshire resident and wish to apply for a place at a Warwickshire School then you should apply through Warwickshire Admissions.

If you live outside Warwickshire, but wish to make an application for a place at a Warwickshire school, please contact your home authority (to whom you pay your Council Tax) to discuss the application process.  You may then need to apply using the Warwickshire Change of School Application Form.

Applying for a place in our Nursery

Clapham Terrace Community Primary School and Nursery has a 26 place nursery based in school.  Applications are made directly to school.

The responsibility for determining admissions for nursery age children lies with the Governing Body of Clapham Terrace Community Primary School and Nursery.

Children will be admitted to nursery the term after their third birthday.

The agreed criteria for admission to the nursery are:

  • Children living in the catchment area.
  • Children who have a brother or sister at the school at their time of admission.
  • The age of the child from the oldest age band first.

Parents make their applications directly to the school via an application form; a hard copy is available from the school office.

Children’s names are placed on reserve lists in strict order of the criteria, not according to the date of application.  If a place becomes available, the nursery will contact the parents of the child whose name is first on the reserve list.  Reserve lists are not waiting lists; a new request from another parent for a child’s name to be placed on a reserve list can result in other children being moved further down the list if this child has a higher priority for a place according to the admission criteria.

Parents are given two weeks to accept the offer.  After this time, if no acceptance is received or the offer is declined, the place will become vacant and it will be offered to the next child in priority order.  This process will continue until all places are full or all children on the ‘Reserve List’ have been offered places.

If there are still sessions available after the September intake for the 15 hours entitlement, new intake requests for nursery sessions will be considered using the criteria.
