Badsley Primary offers full time places for children from Foundation Stage 2 to Year 6. We are a three-form entry school, with a pupil admissions number (PAN) of 90 places in each year group.
Children are normally expected to attend the school in whose catchment area they live, although parents do have a right to express a preference for an alternative school. The school’s current admission policy is operated by the Local Authority on the school’s behalf and as such any requests for admission will require Local Authority approval.
Parents whose child transfers from another school will need to complete an In-Year Primary Admissions Transfer Form. Parents of any new admission are always welcome to visit the school prior to any applications being made, please contact the Headteacher to arrange such visits. When a child is registered for admission to school the child’s birth certificate must be shown to the Headteacher.
Admission authorities will try to meet parental preferences where they can, but because there are limits on the number of places available at each school, it is not always possible to do so.
Where a school is oversubscribed, places will be allocated by reference to the Local Authority admission criteria or an admission policy. The Headteacher will be pleased to advise parents seeking admission for their children.

Application to Secondary Schools (Year 7)
At the end of Y6, pupils will transfer to a local secondary school/academy. Parents have to apply for their child to attend a school of their choice.
Parents receive a letter from the LA through the post to their home address in the autumn term of Y6 asking them to name 3 choices of secondary provision.
The LA sends out information about school places that have been allocated in March of Year 6. There is an Appeals process that can be followed if parents are unhappy with the place that their child has been allocated.
