The PAN (Pupil Admission Number) for every year group in school is 60 pupils.
Reception
It is the responsibility of parents to ensure that they apply for a school place for their children when entering Reception for the first time.
Applications are invited every Autumn term (mid-September to early October), and the closing date for submitting applications is 15 January each year.
Authorities must enable pupils to enter Reception for the first time from the September after their 4th birthday.
*Some parents may have concerns about their child beginning school so young and not feel they are ready for full time education. There are options for parents to consider as long as they comply with the law.
Defer entry
You can request to defer entry until later in the academic year, such as January or after Easter, but your child must be attending full time education from the beginning of the statutory school age.
Parents wishing to defer entry until later in the academic year should discuss this with their child’s allocated school after allocations are confirmed each year.
Attend school part time
Your child could attend school part time for a period before going full time or reaching compulsory school age. The pattern of any part-time attendance is at the discretion of the Headteacher.
Delay entry
You can request to delay admission into school until the term after their 5th birthday. This option is only available for summer children.

In-Year Admissions
Wybourn Community Primary School participates in the Local Authority’s Co-ordinated Admission Scheme for in-year admissions.
If a parent of a child on our roll wishes to apply for a transfer to another school, they must obtain a transfer form from the school for completion of Section 2.
The application must then be sent to the Local Authority which will process the application on the parent’s behalf.
The Local Authority will confirm the outcome of the application in writing within 15 school days.
If the application is refused, the Local Authority will advise on the statutory appeal procedure.
