their individual booklets.
Many schools are popular and oversubscribed so it
is important that you are fully aware of the admission
process and ensure your application is completed properly

of the schools you list on your application form. Last year
around 98% of children starting reception were offered a
place at one of their preferred schools.

Introduction
We have written this booklet for you if you have a child
who is due to start reception at primary school during the
school year that starts in September 2024. These are
children born between 1 September 2019 and 31 August
2020. We hope you nd this booklet useful in helping you
decide on a school for your child.
We have split the booklet into four sections.
l The rst contains general information.
l The second contains policies on admissions (decisions
schools make on which children they take).
l The third contains details about every primary school
in the Bradford district.
l The fourth contains information on where to view maps
for schools with priority admission areas.
Although we are responsible for giving out places in most
schools, there are a growing number of schools where the
school governors decide using their admission policies.
You can nd details of these in section 2.
Primary schools are for children aged 4 to 11 (reception to
year 6).

Co-ordinated admission arrangements
Under the Education Act 2002, local authorities (LAs)
must draw up a scheme which co-ordinates admission
arrangements for all primary schools (but not special
schools) in their area.
Our co-ordinated admission arrangements make sure
that every parent of a pupil living in the Bradford local
authority area who has applied for a primary school place
during the normal admission round receives an offer of
one school place on the same day (16 April 2024). Each
authority exchanges information about any preferences
for a school outside the LA in which the pupil lives with
the ‘home’ authority.
You can apply for up to ve primary schools on-line or on
a form (known as the ‘common application form’) if your
child is ofsett, or apply online. The offer of a place is the
responsibility of the ‘home’ authority.
We have fully co-ordinated admission arrangements
with Calderdale, Kirklees, North Yorkshire and Leeds
authorities. This means that after information has been
exchanged, if more than one LA can offer a place at your
preferred school, the ‘home’ authority will offer a place at
the school which you have ranked highest.
All parents who applied online will receive their allocation
by email on 16 April 2024, all applications made on a
paper form will have their offer made by letter.
There are six types of schools in the Bradford district.
It is important to know which type of school you would
like your child to go to because different people are
responsible for making decisions on which children to
admit. Either we, as the local authority, or the school
governors decide who gets a place. Voluntary-aided,
foundation schools, free schools and academies have
their own oversubscription rules. These are the rules
used when there are too many children for the number
of places available at the school.
The following list tells you who is making the decision
for the particular type of school. Applications for all
schools must be made on the common application
form. However, for some church schools you will also
need to ll in a Supplementary Information Form if you
are applying for faith reasons.
Community schools
These are schools which we provide the funding for.
Most primary schools in Bradford are community
schools. We are responsible for deciding who is given
a place.
Voluntary-controlled schools
A number of Church of England primary schools are
voluntary-controlled. We provide funding for these
schools but they were originally set up by the church.
We are still responsible for deciding who is given a
place at these schools.
Voluntary-aided schools
A number of Catholic schools and Church of England
schools are voluntary-aided. We provide funding for
these schools but they were originally set up by the
church. The governors are responsible for deciding who
is given a place at the school.
Foundation schools
We provide the funding for these schools but the
governors decide who is given a place.
Academies
There are a number of academies, three of which are
‘all through’ schools: Appleton Academy, Bradford
Academy and Dixons Allerton Academy for pupils aged
3 to 18. These are independent of the local authority
and funded by the Department for Education (DfE). The
governors are responsible for deciding who is given a
place at the school.
Free Schools
These schools are independent of the local authority
and funded by the Department for Education. Any
suitable sponsor can make an application to establish
a Free School, including parents, teachers, charities,
community groups or businesses. They are able to
set their own curriculum and set their own admission
policies. The governors are responsible for deciding
who is given a place at the school.
Applications for all schools must be made on the common application form.
Section 3 of this booklet lists all the primary schools and tells you what type of schools they are.

School booklets and websites
Most primary schools have their own website which
gives a lot of information on the day-to-day running of the
school. Each school also produces a booklet for parents
with similar information.
Visiting schools
Before you decide on a particular school, you should visit
the schools in your area. While schools welcome visitors, it
helps them if you make an appointment rst.
Out of school childcare
Many primary schools, community groups and other
organisations can look after your child before or after
normal school hours. This may be something you want to
consider when deciding which schools to apply for. To nd
out more, phone the Bradford Families Information Service
on 01274 437503 or contact individual schools.
Read this booklet: before you apply for any schools,
it is important to get a realistic idea of whether your child
is likely to be offered a place. This booklet provides a lot of
information to help you, such as:
la link to the admission criteria for each school (these
are the rules under which applicants are considered)
and who makes the decisions;
lhow many applications there were last year and how
the places were allocated;
lthe total number of places at the school
A small number of primary schools have priority admission
areas. You can nd a link to the maps in section 4.
Be realistic: although we will do all we can to give
you the school you want, we cannot guarantee a place.
Demand for schools varies each year, and the fact that
your neighbour was offered a place last year does not
mean you can rely on being given a place this year.
Many schools are oversubscribed, they receive more
applications than they have places to offer. We strongly
advise you to apply for ve schools and include the
one you live closest to or the school in whose priority
admission area you live as one of your preferences.
Other information to consider
If you would like information on how particular schools
are performing, you can get a summary of the latest
Ofsted report on their website www.ofsted.gov.uk
You can nd information on the school’s Key Stage 2
SATs results on www.education.gov.uk or on the
school’s website.
Section 3 of this booklet gives you information on the
schools in the Bradford district and their contact details.
Make your preferences count: You can apply for
ve primary schools. If you only apply for one school, you
will only be considered for that school and will be wasting
the opportunity to be considered for any others. You
will only be able to put your child’s name on the waiting
list or appeal for schools that you have applied for. Last
year, 98% of children were offered one of their preferred
schools.
The school I would like is in another local
authority – what should I do? If you live in the
Bradford district and want your child to go to a school
outside the area, you must still list the school on the
Bradford common application form, or apply online to us. If
you live outside the Bradford district, you can apply for any
of our schools. However, you must apply to your ‘home’
authority. There is a list of our neighbouring authorities at
the back of this booklet. You can also phone admission
ofcers on 01274 439200 for more help.
Resourced provisions: A resourced provision in
any school can only be accessed if named in a child’s
EHCP.

SECTION 1
Apply online by 15 January 2024 @ www.bradford.gov.uk/admissions
You will nd a full timetable of important dates on the
inside front cover of this booklet. To apply for a primary
school place, you must apply online.
You will need to register on the Bradford Council Citizen
Portal by adding your child’s details to enable you to apply
online. If your child attends the school’s nursery they may
be able to assist you to apply online.
Applying online means you will receive an email to conrm
that we have received your application, you can change
your preferences up to the closing date on
15 January 2024 and you will receive an email on
16 April 2024 giving you the result of your application.
You should list your ve preferences in the order you
want them. Once the closing date has passed, you will
not be able to apply for any more schools unless your
circumstances change signicantly (for example if you
move house).
Please ensure, if you are applying under the sibling priority
or under the medical/social priority, that the details of the
sibling(s) are entered in the appropriate place and that any
evidence or information regarding the medical or social
need is entered. It is important to send any documentation
to us, at the time of application as we may be unable to
consider evidence if it is late and you may not qualify for a
school that you want.
If you are unable to apply online, and your child attends
a school nursery please contact your primary school who
can assist parents with the online system. Parents can
also contact the Admissions Team for assistance from an
ofcer who will discuss the issues and decide if a paper
form is required.
The closing date for all applications is 15th January. If you
are given a paper form you should not rely on the post
to ensure your form is received, you may wish to send it
recorded delivery. You should request a receipt if you hand
your form in personally.
Supplementary Information
Forms (SIF)
All Catholic schools and most Church of England schools
will require you to ll in a SIF if you are applying on faith
grounds. You must ll in a SIF for each faith school that
you are applying for and return them to the school by
15 January 2024. If you do not do so, your child will be
considered for a place within the last category of the
admission policy. Contact the schools for more advice.
SIFs are available from the schools or can be downloaded
from the council’s website. Please remember that you
must still apply online for a school place. If you are
applying for one of the six music places at Dixons Music
Primary, you must ll in the school’s Supplementary
Information Form which you can get from the school or
download from the Bradford Council website. If you return
the SIF to the school by 24 November 2023 at 3.30pm,
your child will be invited to an audition.
Bowling Park Primary School
If you are applying for Bowling Park Primary School, you
must indicate on the application which of the two sites you
would prefer, either the New Cross Street site or the Usher
Street site, or both.
To apply on staff grounds please see individual admissions
policies for required documentation.
How do I fill in the online
common application form?
If you need help to ll in this form please contact the
Admissions Team on 01274 439200.
1 Child’s details
Child’s name and address: This should be your
child’s legal name and the address at which they live
permanently. Where a child lives with separated parents
with shared responsibility, parents must decide which
address to use for the allocation process. You must not
use the address of a relative or child minder. If you have
moved or are about to move house, you must send us
proof of your child’s permanent address.
Current school: This is your child’s current nursery
(if applicable). Please include the school, nursery or
playgroup’s postcode if applying on the paper form.
2 School preferences
Name up to ve schools you are prepared to consider for
your child, in order of preference. Make sure that your rst
preference is the school you most want for your child, as
this is the one we will try to offer you where possible.
Brothers and sisters: Please give details of the youngest
brother or sister who is already attending the primary
school (not the nursery) that you want and who will still be
at the school in September 2024. Include stepbrothers,
stepsisters or fostered or adopted children living at
the same address as your child because they will be
considered as brothers and sisters too.
Reasons for your preference: It is important that you tell
us anything that could affect our decision, for example
if there are specic social or medical reasons why your
child must go to a particular school, you must send us a
letter from your child’s paediatrician/consultant or relevant
professional from Children’s Services, as appropriate, by
15 January 2024. This letter would need to explain why the
school is the only school to meet your child’s needs and
why no other school could provide the appropriate support.

3 Children in public care
Only ll in this section if your child is in public care (also
known as a ‘looked after child’), or was previously looked
after but ceased to be so because they were adopted
(in accordance with the Adoption and Children Act 2002)
or became subject to a child arrangements or special
guardianship order (in accordance with the Children
Act 1989). You will need to send evidence of this to the
Admissions Team by the closing date.
4 Special educational needs
Only ll in this section if your child has an Education,
Health and Care Plan.
5 Parent or carer details
The application should be made by the parent who
the child normally lives with and who has parental
responsibility for the child (this means legal responsibility
for making decisions about the child’s welfare, education
and so on). Please include a daytime contact phone
number.
6 Private fostering arrangements
If you are looking after someone else’s child this could be
a private fostering arrangement and the Local Authority
need to be notied. Private fostering is an arrangement
made by the child or young person’s parent or guardian
and not the Local Authority, private fostering is when a
child or young person under the age of 16 (18 if the young
When you apply online, you will receive conrmation
by email that we have received your application. If you
live outside of Bradford, you must apply to your ‘home
authority’.
If you have applied for a voluntary-aided, foundation
school, academy or free school, we will send the details
of your application to the governors and they tell us who
they are accepting. We also send applications to other
local authorities and they tell us which children they can
offer places to. For community and voluntary-controlled
schools, we look at the applications and use the Council’s
admission policy to decide which applicants will be offered
a place. We also check any supporting letters you have
provided that could affect the decision.
Once decisions are made on which school your child
can be offered we will write to you. Parents who applied
online will receive an email on 16 April 2024. If you lled
in a paper form and your child attends a Bradford district
nursery school or nursery class within a primary school,
the letter will be sent to your home address.
Am I more likely to get a place at my
first preference school?
Each school you apply for will be treated as a separate
application and we or the governors work out if your
child qualies for a place at each school using the
oversubscription rules (see section 2). This means that,
for example, if how close children live to the school is an
important factor, the children living closest are most likely
to be offered places, regardless of the order the school
was listed on the application form. The order in which you
named the schools only matters if more than one of the
schools can offer your child a place. If that happens, we
will look at your order of preferences and offer you the
school listed highest on the form.
It is important that you list ve different schools – asking
for just one school or naming the same school several
times on the application form will not increase the chances
of your child being offered a place there. Also, you cannot
appeal or be placed on a waiting list for a school that you
have not applied for, unless there is a signicant change in
your circumstances (for example, you move house).
How do you deal with my application?
person has a disability) is looked after for 28 days or more by
someone who is not a close relative, guardian, grandparent,
uncle, auntie, brother, sister and step-relatives. The Council
has a duty to assess and monitor arrangements to make
sure the child is safe and their needs are being met. There
is a legal obligation that you and /or the parent notify the
Local Authority of this arrangement by contacting Bradford
Children’s Initial Contact Point. Further information is
available on Bradford Safeguarding Website and Children’s
Social Care Webpages private fostering page.

7 Declaration
You must sign the declaration to conrm that you have
parental responsibility and that the information you have
given is accurate. For online applications, you must conrm
that the information you have provided is correct. Where
separated parents have shared responsibility, only one
application must be made and both parents must agree on
which schools to apply for and from which address.
If you deliberately give false or misleading information or
withhold information that could affect your application, it may
result in the place offered being withdrawn. You would then
need to re-apply, possibly after all allocations have been
made and legal action may be taken.

What happens if I miss the deadline
or want to change my preferences?
1 Before decisions about offers are made
If we receive your application after the closing date
or if you want to change your preferences, it will only
be considered as ‘on time’ if there are exceptional
circumstances such as a house move to a different area,
and if we receive it before decisions about offers of places
are made (mid February).
2 After decisions about offers are made
In the Bradford authority, parents can apply for ve
schools. We will not accept any further applications or
changes of preference after mid February 2024 unless:
lthere are exceptional circumstances (as described
above); or
lthe late application or change of preference is for an
undersubscribed school (a school with unlled places).
We will not accept any further applications or changes of
preference, but this would not prevent you from applying
for another school from September 2024 (see ‘In-year
admissions and transfers’ on page 13).
We will send late applications to other admission
authorities, but they may not be able to consider them.
Please check with neighbouring authorities to see how
they treat late applications and changes of preferences.
Does moving house affect my
application?
We hold details on our computer records of all children
attending a Bradford Authority pre-school setting. If the
address you give on your application is different from
that which we have on our records, or if you move house
during the application process, you will need to provide
proof of your house move. Please provide a copy of your
council tax bill and a minimum of two additional documents
from the following – gas, electricity, phone bill, and child
allowance or benet document in your name or that of
your child.
When considering applications, the address we use is the
‘child’s permanent address at the time of admission’. If
you expect to move by September but you are still living
at your current address when you apply, we can only
consider your application from the new address if you
provide the following documents.
lProof of completion on your new property and a
solicitor’s letter to conrm the sale of your previous
property; or
lA rental agreement on the new property and
conrmation of the sale or ending of your tenancy
agreement for the previous property.
We will not accept mortgage offers or letters from estate
agents as proof. If your house purchase or rental has not
reached a stage where you can provide these documents
by 8 February 2024, we will consider your application from
your current address. However, it is important that you
tell us if you move house at any time, particularly during
the application process, as it could affect your child’s
allocation. Investigations will be made if we have reason to
doubt where your child lives.
How do you decide who is offered a
school place?
Please read the admissions policies by following the link
contained in this booklet on page 17.
Please also refer to the individual school websites and
ensure you understand which criteria, of the admission
policy, you meet and if the school requires you to submit
a supplementary information form (SIF). A number of
schools give priority to children whose parents are
members of Church of England or other Christian faiths
and who regularly attend church. Please see individual
policies to see what evidence is required. Dixons Music
School would require a supplementary information form
(SIF) completing if you are applying for a music place.
Parents should also check the individual school policy to
see if priority is given under social and medical grounds
and what proof is required, if they wish to apply under this
criterion.
A number of schools have priority areas which are used as
part of the admissions criteria please refer to section 4 to
see which schools have these.
Would you ever withdraw the offer
of a school place?
Once we have made an offer of a school place, we would
only withdraw the offer in limited circumstances.
These are:
lif you have not accepted the place you have been
offered within a reasonable time;
lif you have deliberately made a fraudulent or
misleading application (for example, you have falsely
claimed that your child’s permanent address is nearer
to the school, which means that a child with a stronger
claim has not been offered a place); or
lif your child has been offered a place by mistake.

Waiting lists
You can ask for your child’s name to go on a waiting list for
any schools that you applied for. The list will be made up of
any parent who requests it or who appeals.
If any places become available, they will be lled in the
same order as the admission policy and not how long
the name has been on the list. It is possible for names to
fall down the waiting list if other children are added who
qualify higher within the admission policy. Waiting lists are
generally kept until the end of the school year (July 2025),
however, some voluntary-aided, foundation schools and
academies keep their own waiting lists and they may
not be kept for so long. When we write to you to tell you
which school your child has been offered, we will tell you
who to contact regarding the waiting list for your preferred
schools.
Independent appeals
If one of your preferred school(s) is unable to offer your
child a school place you may lodge an appeal against
this decision which will be considered by an independent
panel.
Before any appeal takes place, the relevant year group
and classes will be full and no places are ‘reserved’ for
children who are successful at appeal. Therefore an
independent appeals panel are looking for exceptional
reasons why your child should be given a place at the
school. Any upheld appeal will result in the year group
being over the recommended limit which could have
health and safety implications and a harmful effect on
the teaching and learning of all children in the relevant
year group.Separate rules apply if a school appeals if for
Reception, Year 1 or Year 2.
Appeal forms for most schools can be obtained from the
Admissions Team or downloaded from Bradford Council’s
website. If you wish to lodge an appeal for: Dixons
Allerton, Dixons Music Primary, Our Lady of Victories
Catholic Primary, St Anne’s Catholic Primary, St Anthony’s
Catholic Primary (Clayton), St John the Evangelist
Catholic Primary, St Joseph’s Catholic Primary (Keighley),
St Walburga’s Catholic Primary or St Winefride’s Catholic
Primary School then you need to contact the school
direct. If you wish to lodge an appeal for a primary school
in another Local Authority then you need to contact the
relevant authority for advice.
You may only appeal once for a particular school for the
same academic year unless, in exceptional circumstances
the admission authority has accepted a second
application because of a signicant and material change
in the circumstances of the parent, child or school.
Without affecting your appeal, staff in the Admissions
Team will be pleased to discuss with you the alternative
schools that may have available places. You can contact
them on 01274 439200 or email schoolappeals@
bradford.gov.uk
We recommend families accept a place at the school
offered whilst waiting for their appeal to be heard. It will
not affect your chances of being allocated a place at
your preferred school either from the waiting list or at the
appeal. You could risk your child having no school place
in September if you refuse a place.
The law on infant class sizes
The law places restrictions on class sizes for 5-7 year
olds and no classes in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 are
allowed to have more than 30 children per class. The
legislation was designed to protect classes so that the
youngest children in school can have the best start to
their school life. Very occasionally these classes may be
over 30 at some point in the school year. This is because
the law allows for children to be admitted in limited
exceptional circumstances. A successful school appeal
would be an example of this. These children are known
as ‘excepted pupils’.
You still have the right to lodge an appeal: however it
can only be upheld if the panel are satised that the
admission of an additional child would not breach the
infant class size limit, or that the admission arrangements
did not comply with admissions law or were not correctly
and impartially applied and your child would have been
offered a place if these arrangements had been properly
followed, or that the decision to refuse admission was not
one which a reasonable admission authority would have
made in the circumstances of the case.
Further information regarding school appeals and Infant
Class Size legislation can be found on Bradford Council’s
website.

Can I educate my child at home?
If you prefer to educate your child at home, the law allows
this. However, the law says that you must make sure your
child gets ‘efcient full-time education suitable to her or his
age, ability and aptitude and to any special needs she or
he may have’. If you plan to educate your child at home,
you must tell us as we have a duty to make sure you do
this properly. Please phone us on 01274 439340 or email

If we are unable to give you any of your preferred schools,
we will offer your child another school with an available
place. This may include church schools. We decide which
is the most appropriate school, taking into consideration all
children without a school place and available bus routes. If
you do not apply for a local school and it becomes full, you
may nd that the nearest school that has places is some
distance from your home.
We will write to you on 16 April 2024 to tell you which school
your child has been offered. You will need to accept the
place by returning an acceptance slip to the school. It is
important that you accept or your child may lose the place.

Special educational needs (Primary)
What should I do if my child has special
needs?
The majority of children and young people with SEN or
disabilities will have their needs met within local mainstream
early year’s settings, or schools. Some children and young
people may require an EHC (Education Health and Care)
needs assessment in order for the local authority to decide
whether it is necessary for it to make provision in accordance
with an EHC plan.
Children with special educational needs have learning
difculties or disabilities that may make it harder for them to
learn or access education than most children of the same
age. If your son or daughter has an Education, Health and
Care Plan the SEND Integrated Assessment Team will write
to you to explain the process and enclose a preference form.
You are also encouraged to complete the Common
Application form which will ensure that your preferences
are lodged with the local authority. In all other cases please
complete the Common Application Form.
Early Years Enhanced Specialist Provision have extra
resources to meet the needs of young children with severe
and complex special educational needs, complementing the
arrangements in special schools.

All Children’s Centres and Private, Voluntary and Independent
Sector providers will support the early identication of children
with special educational needs and offer services for them
and their families, in line with the SEND code of practice.
A number of Primary Schools provide specialist facilities
for children who have special educational needs, called
Resourced Provisions which are led by the school (RP-SL) or
the Local Authority (RP-LA). These can only be accessed if
named in a child’s EHCP.
The Resourced Provisions employ specialist staff who can
meet the needs of specic groups of pupils. The children are
supported within the school wherever possible, and they also
receive intensive support in small groups when needed.

What can I do to help my child succeed at school?
Planning ahead for your child
Your child will probably be both excited and anxious about
starting school. This is normal. Some children may need
more support in managing change and challenge at this
time. You, your child’s nursery and your chosen primary
school can help to prepare your child for this change.
Attendance
Your child must go to school regularly so she or he can
learn, achieve and make friends. Even if your child only
misses school occasionally, it can affect their work. It is
your responsibility to make sure that your child goes to
school regularly and on time. It is really important that your
child builds up a good pattern of attendance early in their
primary school. Good attendance at school will help your
child to achieve.
Holidays in term-time
You should take family holidays or trips abroad during the
school holidays. If you have to take holidays during term-
time, you must ask permission from the Head Teacher.
Schools will take into account your child’s attendance and
academic progress and may, in exceptional circumstances,
give you permission for up to two weeks’ absence. If you
take your child on holiday in term-time without the school’s
permission, you may be ned.
The school may take your child off its register if they do
not return on the agreed date. This means you would need
to apply again for a place for your child when they return.
There is no guarantee that they will be able to continue at
the school. You may have to apply for a place for them at
another school, which will disrupt their education.

Apply online by 15 January 2024 @ www.bradford.gov.uk/admissions
What if my child wants to transfer
to another school?
Transferring schools, other than at normal transition
times, can be very disruptive to your child’s education
and is not recommended. If you want to apply for
admission into any year group after 1 September and
at any other time during the school year, you must ll in
an ‘in-year application form’.
In Bradford, children can only change schools at the
start of a full term unless there are special reasons.
In-year application forms are available from schools,
from the Admissions Team or can be downloaded
from the Bradford Council website www.bradford.gov.
uk. If applying for any Catholic school, Barkerend
Primary Leadership Academy, Bronte Girls’ Academy,
Eden Boys’ Leadership Academy, High Crags Primary
Leadership Academy, Idle C of E Primary School,
Laisterdyke Leadership Academy, Rainbow Primary
Leadership Academy, Thornbury Leadership Academy
or Tong Leadership Academy please contact the
school direct.
Fair Access Protocol
All local authorities must have a Fair Access Protocol
(FAP) to ensure children who have no school place,
and have not secured one through normal in-year
admission procedures, have access to education as
quickly as possible. Children admitted through the
protocol are likely to be the most vulnerable and may
have a history of challenging behaviour. As set out in
the School Admissions Code of Practice, the operation
of Fair Access Protocols sits outside the normal
admission arrangements detailed in this booklet.
We have to ensure that there are free early years funded
entitlement places for all three and four year olds whose
parents want them to receive it. These places could be in
nursery classes at primary schools, nursery schools, day
nurseries, pre-schools, childminders, and out of school
childcare providers.
All three and four year old children are entitled to 15 hours
a week funded universal entitlement from the term after
their third birthday until they start reception in primary
school.
Some children of working parents are eligible for
additional 15 hours funded this is known as the ‘Extended
Entitlement’ or the 30 hours free childcare. This entitlement
may be taken at more than one setting. Some funded
providers are also able to offer exibility in the length and
timing of the sessions they provide. In order for parents to
see if they are eligible for the ‘Extended Entitlement’ they
must apply for a place with HMRC. Visit the Government’s
Childcare Choices website.
You can choose to continue to take up your child’s free
place at a private, voluntary or independent childcare
provider until your child reaches compulsory school age
(the term following the child’s fth birthday) if you choose
not to take up your child’s right to a place in a state-funded
school reception class in the September following your
child’s fourth birthday.
Some two year olds are also entitled to a free early years
entitlement place. Parents can check if they are eligible by
visiting Bradford Council’s 2 year old page.
To nd out more about registered early years settings
which provide free early years funded entitlement places
visit Bradford Childcare Finder or contact Bradford Council
01274 437503.
Nursery schools and nursery classes
You can apply for a nursery place for your child using an
Early Years Funded Hours Parent Agreement Form, which
you can get from any nursery or primary school that has a
nursery class.
Unlike primary schools, however, if your child is not offered
a place, you cannot appeal against this decision. Head
teachers decide whether to offer your child a nursery place
and they follow Bradford Council’s nursery admissions
policy.
If you wish to apply for an offset, regardless of the
reason, you should apply by 15 January 2023. Guidance
is available at www.bradford.gov.uk/educationand-
skills/school-admissions/admission-of-summerborn-
children/
If your child goes to a nursery class at a particular school,
we cannot guarantee that they will get a place in the main
school. Admissions to reception are dealt with separately
and children who attend the school’s nursery are not given
priority.
School meals and clothing
Bradford Council no longer provides a school clothing
allowance for low income families. Bradford schools have
now taken on the responsibility for providing parents with
support for this where appropriate. How schools provide
this support will vary from school to school, so parents
should contact the allocated school for more information.
From September 2014 all children in reception, year
1 and year 2 in state-funded schools will receive free
school meals. However, if you receive benets, your child
may be entitled to free school meals no matter what year
they are in. Families should apply if they get any of these
benets:
lChild Tax Credit, (but not Working Tax Credit) and
have an annual income (as assessed by HM Revenue
& Customs) that does not exceed £16,190
lIncome Support
lIncome-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
lIncome-related Employment and Support Allowance
lThe Guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
lSupport under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum
Act 1999. (You will need to apply directly to the school
to receive this benet.)
lWorking Tax Credit run-on (paid for 4 weeks after you
stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit).
lUniversal credit with an annual net earned income
threshold of less than £7,400.
You should make your application after you have received
your allocated school place. If you have other children
currently receiving free school meals you should still make
a new application for any siblings starting school for the
rst time.
You can visit www.bradford.gov.uk/schoolmeals to make
an application or see more contact details on page 3.

lSchool priority admission areas are not relevant to
transport eligibility.
lTransport is generally only provided to the nearest
available qualifying school where the distance criteria
is met.
lThe Council uses a GIS measuring system, no other
measurement is valid.
lThe priority area school for your address may not be
the nearest school.
lIt is vital you carefully consider the transport
implications before you make your application for a
school place.
lPlease contact us if you need advice.
Home to school travel assistance
You should consider carefully how your child will get
to and from the school(s) you apply for before you
make your application for a school place.
Children will only be entitled to free travel assistance if
there is an entitlement under the Council’s Home to School
Travel and Transport Policy for Children of Compulsory
School Age. If a sibling or other local child is already in
receipt of transport to a school, this does not guarantee
that a new child will automatically qualify for transport to
the same school. The policy criteria must be met in all
cases.
Where there is no entitlement to travel assistance from the
Council, parents are fully responsible for all nancial costs
and transport arrangements for their child.
The full Home to School Travel and Transport Policy for
Children of Compulsory School Age can be found on our
website www.bradford.gov.uk/education-and-skills/
travel-assistance/assistance-with-travel-to-home-
school-and-college
Please note that entitlement to travel assistance will
not be assessed on the basis of priority admission
areas or where travel assistance has historically
been provided. Applications are assessed against the
following criteria.
Bradford Council in accordance with its statutory duty,
will provide free home to school assistance for children
of primary school age to the ‘nearest available suitable
qualifying school’ to their home address, if:
lthey are between 5 and 7 years of age and live beyond
2 miles from the school
lor are between 8 and 11 years of age and live beyond
3 miles from the school
It is important to note that the ‘priority’ school for your
address may not be the nearest school.
Bradford Council will measure using the shortest walking
route to calculate distances to establish which is the
nearest ‘suitable qualifying school’ to a child’s home
address. We determine your nearest ‘suitable qualifying
school’ with places available at the time of allocation. If you
apply outside of this time, because for example you move
address; we will determine it at the time of the application.
The Council uses a Geographical Information System
(GIS) to measure and calculate home to school distances.
The measurements produced by the Council’s GIS are
the denitive distance calculations that the Council
will use to determine travel assistance eligibility.
For children from low income families, the policy is
extended to provide travel assistance to children who
are aged over 8 and under 11, registered at their nearest
qualifying school more than two miles from home. Children
from low income groups are dened as those who are
entitled to free school meals.
Once eligible for assistance with travel because of low
income, your child will receive assistance for the rest of
the school year, subject to there being no other changes
that may affect eligibility, such as a house move or change
of school.
Unless the low income criteria are met, travel
assistance will not be provided to a school if:
lThere is any nearer school to the home for which
a parent did not apply on the original admission
application
lThere is any nearer school which was listed as
a lower preference on the original admission
application
lThe parent has rejected an offer of a place at any
nearer school
What is the nearest school for transport
purposes?
Any parent who wants to nd out which school the Council
considers to be their nearest school for transport purposes
should send an email to [email protected].uk.
The email should state the child’s name and address,
asking what the Council considers to be the nearest
primary school for transport purposes to that address.
Points to remember
lAn offer of a school place does not guarantee
free school transport even if you live beyond the
statutory distance from the school you have been
offered, even if it is your priority admission area
school.
lBefore you apply for a school place and for travel
assistance you should read the information made
available to you in this booklet and the full travel
assistance policy on the website: www.bradford.

Entitlement for children with additional
needs
Children who are unable to walk to school because of
their special educational needs, disability or temporary
medical condition may qualify for assistance. The Council
is working with parent groups, schools and SEND
professionals to change the way we deliver school travel
for children with additional needs. You will need to give full
details on the application form and your application must
be supported by specialist advice relating to the medical
or behavioural needs of your child and after consultation
from the school and other agencies involved in your child’s
wellbeing.
Travel provision
If your child qualies, we will usually give them a ‘smart
card’ to travel free on the bus or train for one journey to
and from school each day. If your child has additional
needs and is unable to travel independently by bus
or train, we may provide an escort or travel training to
encourage independence, a personal budget, dedicated
or specialist transport. For more detailed information on
assistance with travel to school, visit the Bradford Council

Entitlement
All three and four year olds are entitled to a free early
education place before they reach statutory school age
(the beginning of the school term immediately following the
child’s fth birthday).
Children are admitted into Reception in the September
following their fourth birthday. Parents can request that the
date their child is admitted to the school is deferred until
later in the year or until the term in which the child reaches
compulsory school age. Parents can also request that their
child takes up the place part-time until the child reaches
compulsory school age. The admission criteria will apply to
all children seeking a school place, whatever their term of
entry. The place offered will be reserved on condition that it
is taken up within the same school year.
Admissions of summer born children may be deferred to the
following September but in those cases children will need
to apply for a place to enter Year 1. The Local Authority will
consider any application for a deferred entry into Reception
of summer born children for the September following
their fth birthday. Such requests will be considered in
accordance with the Local Authority’s ‘Guidance on the
admission of summer born children’ and DfE Advice.
Children attending a school’s nursery are not guaranteed
a place in the reception class and a separate application
must be made.
If you wish to apply for an offset, regardless of the reason,
you should apply by 15 January 2024. Guidance is
available at www.bradford.gov.uk/education-and-skills/
school-admissions/admissions-of-summer-born-
children/
Children with an Education, Health and Care
Plan (EHCP)
The admission of pupils with an EHCP is dealt with by
a separate procedure. Such children will be admitted to
the school named on the EHCP without reference to the
oversubscription criteria below.
Twins and siblings from a multiple birth
Where a family of twins or multiple births children request
admission and only one of the siblings can be offered a
place, the remaining sibling(s) will also be offered places
above the admission number.
School Admissions Policies
Admissions to Catholic primary
schools
The following explanatory notes apply to the admission
policies of all Catholic primary schools:
Catholic means a member of a church in communion with
the See of Rome. A certicate of baptism in a Catholic
church, or a certicate of reception into the full communion
of the Catholic Church, will normally evidence this. This
includes the Eastern Catholic Churches.
Looked after children and previously looked after
children including those children who appear (to the
admission authority) to have been in state care outside of
England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being
adopted or became subject to a child arrangements order
or special guardianship order are given priority in every
admissions policy.
Dened area or parish boundary is a geographical area.
Please see boundary maps available for inspection in school
(boundaries determined by the Diocese of Leeds).
Siblings (Brothers and Sister) include children with brothers
and sister (including step-siblings, adoptive siblings and
foster siblings) of statutory school age, living at the same
address, in attendance at the same school on the date of
admission.
Live: In all categories “live” means the child’s permanent
home address. A child is normally regarded as living with a
parent or guardian and we will use the parent or guardian’s
address for admission purposes. You cannot lodge a child
with a friend or relation in order to gain a place at a school.
For admissions purposes only one address can be used as
a child’s permanent address. When a child lives with more
than one parent/carer, at different addresses, we will use
the preference expressed by the parent/carer at the address
where the child lives the majority of the time during the
school week as the main place of residence.
Random Allocation: this is only to be used when the last
place to be offered is to children living in a block of ats
or children who live equidistant from the school using the
distance criterion. An independent person will be used to
make the random selection
In-year applications for Catholic schools: applications
outside the normal admissions round (in-year) should be
made to individual schools and will be dealt with by the
school governors.
