RECEPTION ADMISSIONS 27/28

We would be thrilled to show you around our school, ready for next September.  We have three classes in each yeargroup, meaning we have 90 Reception spaces. 

Tours will be lead by our senior leadership team, alongside some of our pupils and will involve a short presentation and tour.  Please book via our Office team on 0117 377 2295:

Tuesday 6th October 2-3pm

Thursday 5th November 2-3pm

Tuesday 1st December 4-5pm

The window to apply for a school place is 12th September 2026-15th January 2027.  We have an Admissions Policy, and school places are not 'first come, first served', so please take your time to make the right choice for you and your child.  

You will need to apply via the Bristol City Council website:

EYFS new starters

We are thrilled that our new Reception children have started to settle into school life so well.  The children will begin full time on the 17th and 18th of September, including having their lunch with us.  Don't forget, the school is closed to reception children on 24th and 25th of September, and will be dedicated to meeting with Parent/Carers for a consultation.  Booking for this will be advertised shortly.

Similarly, we have thoroughly enjoyed meeting our new Nursery children for their visits with their adults, and without.  Consultation sessions with key workers will take place towards the end of the term and information will come to you shortly.  

 

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:

•  Bristol family hub's advice page
• Starting school-national publication
• All aboard the toilet train!
• Potty training children with additional needs
