Admissions
Reception Admissions
All parents who wish to send their children to Five Ways School are required to complete the Local Authority application form. The LA admissions policy will determine which children are admitted. Priority will be given to 'catchment area' children and to siblings of children presently at Five Ways School. The catchment area is defined by Local Authority, details of which are available either from school or through the admissions department. Parents of pupils who are not allocated a place may appeal through the standard procedures. Details of this are also available from the school or from the admissions department. The school published admission number (PAN) is 90. Children are admitted to Reception classes in the September of the academic year during which their fifth birthday falls.

Nursery Admissions
We are holding a Nursery Open Evening on Thursday 6th February, 2025. On this date there will be two sessions available for you and your child to visit us, either 3:45pm - 4:15pm or 4:30pm - 5:00pm. Please book your place to visit our Nursery setting, by contacting the school office on: 01543 278071.
Applications for our Nursery are processed by the Governing Body of Five Ways Primary School. Our Nursery admissions process opens on 6th January 2025 and closes on 14th March 2025. Nursery places for September 2025 are offered to children born between 01.09.21 - 31.08.22.
There are a maximum of 52 Nursery places, the minimum expectation being that children will attend the morning session each day. Wrap-around care before and after school is available to extend the Nursery provision further.
Children are admitted in the September after their third birthday.
As a pilot for this current Nursery year, children who have had their third birthday on or after 01.09.21 may apply to join our current Nursery setting, to commence a four term Nursery place, starting 28.04.25. Please note that children eligible for the four term entry will need to have had their third birthday on or before 31.03.25, in order to commence the summer term 2025. Please also be aware that the Early Education Funding application deadline is 31.03.25, for the Summer 2025 term start. To apply for this Nursery provision, please contact the school on: 01543 278071 and ask to speak to Mrs J Hill (Assistant Headteacher / EYFS Leader) or Mrs L Buck (Extended Provision and Nursery Administrator).
