NURSERY and RECEPTION admissions September 2025 have now closed

Nursery 2025

Offer letters for our Nursery class will begin to go out from the 1st May.  

*Please note, our Nursery has a policy which decides how places are allocated.  It is not first come first served.  See the policy for further details.  Entrance into our Nursery does not guarantee you a space in our Reception classes, these need to be applied for via Bristol City Council the following year.*

Reception 2025

We are delighted that offers have now been sent out to children entering Reception in September 2025.  We will now begin the process of contacting Nursery/pre-school settings to arrange visits and gather important information which will help all of the children settle into school.  

In the coming weeks, look out for important post inviting you to a 'New starters meeting'.  The date of which will be included here when it has been confirmed.  This meeting will give you all of the information you need, including induction timetables and an opportunity to meet key members of staff and ask any questions.  However, if you feel you need to contact the school about your child's September start, please do not hesitate to do so.

At West Town Lane Academy we will be prepared to meet your children and ensure they have a successful journey here with us, whatever their starting points.  See below some useful resources to access over the coming months, to help make your child's start as smooth as possible:
