Admissions

Barrow Hedges Primary School intend to admit 90 children into Reception each academic year. Nursery places for 3 - 4 year olds will be allocated depending on need and applications received for both 15 and 30-hour provisions. For further information regarding funding entitlements and to see if and when your child would be eligible for the extended funding please access the Childcare Choices website by clicking here. 

We welcome visits to our academy before application and in normal circumstances hold sessions on a regular basis during the autumn term where small groups of parents/carers may visit the academy for a tour and have the opportunity to ask questions. These sessions are usually conducted by a senior member of staff. 

If you have any queries regarding the admissions process, please contact the Trust Admissions Officer Lisa Tilleray (available 8.45am to 4.00pm Monday to Friday) by calling the school and selecting Option 2.
