for the care of a child.
Before you make your decision, it’s a good idea to visit 
some of the schools, look at the schools' websites or read 
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 
and on time. We will do our best to offer you a place at one 
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 2018. These are 
children born between 1 September 2013 and 31 August 
2014. We hope you find this booklet useful in helping you 
decide on a school for your child.
We have split the booklet into four sections.
l 
The first 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 maps showing schools with priority 
admission areas.
  section     
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 find details of these in section 2.
Primary schools are for children aged four to 11 (reception 
to year 6). 
Changes for 2017
Following a consultation, Hothfield Junior School closed 
on 31 August 2017. Aire View Infant School has expanded 
to 90 per year group and has become a primary school 
known as Silsden Primary School.

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 each year 
or the next working day). Each authority exchanges 
information about any preferences for a school outside 
the LA in which the pupil lives with the ‘home’ authority.
Apply online at www.bradford.gov.uk/admissions
You can apply for up to five primary schools on one 
form (known as the ‘common application form’) 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 2018, 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 fill 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
Around half of the 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
All Catholic schools and around half of the 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 
three 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 first. 
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 find 
out more, phone the Bradford Families Information Service 
on xx-xxxx-xxxx 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:
l 
a link to the admission criteria for each school (these 
are the rules under which applicants are considered) 
and who makes the decisions;
l 
how many applications there were last year and how 
the places were allocated; 
l 
the total number of places at the school
A small number of primary schools have priority admission 
areas. You can find 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 five schools and include the 
one you live closest to or the school in whose priority 
admission area you live as one of your preferences.
Apply online at www.bradford.gov.uk/admissions
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 find 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 
five 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 
officers on xx-xxxx-xxxx for more help.

Apply online by 15 January 2018 @ www.bradford.gov.uk/admissions

You will find 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. A number of schools have access to the 
online application system and 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 
confirm that we have received your application, you can 
change your preferences up to the closing date on  
15 January 2018 and you will receive an email on  
16 April 2018 giving you the result of your application. 
You should list your five 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 significantly (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 and 
make an appointment to meet with an officer 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 fill in a SIF if you are applying on faith
grounds. You must fill in a SIF for each faith school 
that you are applying for and return them to the school 
by 15 January 2018. 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 fill in the school’s 
Apply online at www.bradford.gov.uk/admissions
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 2017  
at 3.30pm, your child will be invited to an audition. 
If you are applying for Bowling Park Primary School, you 
must fill in a SIF that asks which of the two sites you would 
prefer, either the New Cross Street site or the Usher Street 
site.
How do I fill in the online  
common application form?
If you need help to fill in this form. please contact the 
Admissions Team on xx-xxxx-xxxx.
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 five schools you are prepared to consider for 
your child, in order of preference. Make sure that your first 
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 2018. 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 specific 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 2018. 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 fill 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 residence order 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 fill in this section if your child has a statement of 
special educational needs or 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 
If you apply online, you will receive confirmation by email 
that we have received your application. If you have filled in 
the paper common application form school you must return 
it to your first preference school or to the Admissions 
Team. If you live outside the Bradford area, you must 
return an application 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 you child can 
be offered we will write to you.  Parents who applied online 
will receive an email on 16th April 2018. If you filled 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 qualifies 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 five 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 significant change in 
your circumstances (for example, you move house).
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 five 
schools. We will not accept any further applications or 
changes of preference after mid February 2018 unless:
l 
there are exceptional circumstances (as described 
above); or
l 
the late application or change of preference is for an 
undersubscribed school (a school with unfilled places).
We will not accept any further applications or changes of

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  Declaration
You must sign the declaration to confirm that you have 
parental responsibility and that the information you have 
given is accurate. For online applications, you must confirm 
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.

preference, but this would not prevent you from applying 
for another school from September 2018 (see ‘In-year 
admissions and transfers’ on page 14).
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. This would be a council tax, 
gas, electricity or phone bill, or a child benefit 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.
l 
Proof of completion on your new property and a 
solicitor’s letter to confirm the sale of your previous 
property; or 
l 
A rental agreement on the new property and 
confirmation 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 10th February 2018, 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 18.
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:
l 
if you have not accepted the place you have been 
offered within a reasonable time;
l 
if 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
l 
if your child has been offered a place by mistake.

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 find that the nearest school that has places is some 
distance from your home.
We will write to you on 16 April 2018 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. 
What happens if I don’t get the school I want?

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 filled 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 2019), 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
You can make a formal appeal, to an independent 
appeals panel for any school that you have applied for. 
This is a legal process and places are not ‘reserved’ 
for appeal panels to decide which children should be 
given places. The year group will be full and the panel 
can only legally consider exceptional reasons why 
your child should be admitted to the school above the 
admission number. During any academic year you can 
only appeal once for a particular school, however you 
may request a further appeal if your circumstances 
have changed significantly. 
You can get appeal forms from the Admissions Team 
for most schools except Dixons Allerton, Dixons Music 
Primary, St Anne’s, St Anthony’s (Clayton), St John 
the Evangelist, St Joseph’s (Keighley), St Walburga’s 
and St Winefride’s Catholic primary schools. For these 
schools you must contact them direct for an appeal 
form. For schools in other local authorities, you would 
need to contact the relevant local authority. 
If your appeal is unsuccessful, you can contact the 
Admissions Team on xx-xxxx-xxxx to discuss what 
happens next. We expect parents to take up any 
place offered by an independent appeals panel within 
a reasonable time, which would normally be by the 
beginning of the next term.
We urge you to accept a place at the school you have 
been offered – it will not affect your chances of getting 
a place at your preferred school either from the waiting 
list or at appeal. You could also risk your child having 
no school place in September.
The law on infant class sizes
The Government has set a limit on the size of infant 
classes, this means that no reception, year 1 or year 2 
class can have more than 30 children.
If your child has been refused a place because there are 
already 30 children in the class, you still have the right 
to appeal. However, your appeal will only be successful 
if we have made a mistake or acted unreasonably. The 
law defines ‘unreasonable’ as ‘completely illogical, or 
not based on the facts of the case’. In other words, if we 
have not based our decision on the information in this 
booklet, how many places the school has, the number 
of classrooms at the school and other factors to do with 
the school. 
Due to the infant class size law only one in ten appeals 
are successful.
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 ‘efficient 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 xx-xxxx-xxxx or email

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, schools or colleges.  
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 
difficulties 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 SEN 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. The four specialist 
provision centres in the Bradford district are:
l 
Abbey Green Nursery School, Green Lane, Bradford, 
BD8 8HT (phone: xx-xxxx-xxxx)
l 
Canterbury Children’s Centre, Basil Street, Bradford 
BD5 9HL (phone: xx-xxxx-xxxx)
l 
Strong Close Nursery, Airedale Road, Keighley  
BD21 4LW (phone: xx-xxxx-xxxx)
l 
St Edmund’s (Girlington) Nursery and Children’s 
Centre, Washington Street, Bradford BD8 9QW  
(phone: xx-xxxx-xxxx)
All Children’s Centres and private, Voluntary and 
Independent Sector providers will support the early 
identification of children with special educational needs and 
offer services for them and their families, in line with the 
SEND code of practice.
 
A small number of schools provide specialist facilities 
for children who have special educational needs, called 
‘Designated Special Provision’ (DSP) and Additional 
Resourced Centres (ARC). These schools employ 
specialist staff who can meet the needs of specific groups 
of pupils. The children are supported within the school 
wherever possible, and they also receive intensive support 
in small groups when needed. 
Schools which have ‘Designated Special Provision’ are:
l 
Carrwood Primary School  
(for pupils on the autistic spectrum)
l 
Crossflatts Primary School  
(for pupils on the autistic spectrum)
l 
Denholme Primary School  
(for pupils on the autistic spectrum)
l 
Green Lane Primary School  
(for pupils with speech and language difficulties)
l 
Haworth Primary School  
(for pupils on the autistic spectrum) 
l 
High Crags Primary School  
(for pupils with speech and language difficulties) 
l 
High Park School (Learn and Play for pre 5 children 
with communication and interaction needs) 
Girlington Primary School and Swain House Primary 
School have Additional Resourced Centres (ARCs) which 
can meet the needs of deaf and hearing impaired children.
Grove House Primary School has an Additional Resourced 
Centre which can meet the needs of visually impaired 
children.
In some cases a child’s special educational needs cannot 
be met in a mainstream school. Bradford has a number of 
special schools. You can find details of these in section 3. 
Contact the Special Educational Needs team on  
xx-xxxx-xxxx for more information.
The Bradford SEND (special educational needs and or 
disabilities) Local Offer is a new way of giving children and 
young people with SEND including behaviour and mental 
health birth to 25 years and their parent carers information 
about what services, activities and support is available in 
the area you live. It will make it easier to find out what you 
need to know, when you need to know it. The Bradford 
Local Offer has been developed by children, young people, 
parents and carers living in the Bradford district .

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.  
We produce a pack of guidance, information and sources 
of support for schools so that they can help the more 
vulnerable children.
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.
If you think your child is having difficulties in school or 
seems reluctant to go, talk to the school and share your 
concerns. You can also speak to someone in the Education 
Social Work Service if your child is not going to school 
regularly. Call them on xx-xxxx-xxxx.
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 fined.
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.
What happens if my child is too ill to go  
to school?
There is a teaching service for children who are too ill to go 
to school or who are in hospital. Bradford Royal Infirmary 
and Airedale General Hospital have teachers present for all 
or part of each week during term-time.
As a general rule, we will provide a tutor to come to your 
home if your child has been away from school for more 
than 15 working days. If your child is educated at home, 
he or she should receive at least five hours’ teaching each 
week. In all cases we must have medical evidence, for 
example, a letter from your doctor.
You can find out more about the service by contacting an 
Education Welfare Officer through the school or by phoning 
xx-xxxx-xxxx.
What if my child wants to transfer to 
another primary school?
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 fill in an ‘in-year application 
form’. In the Bradford district, children can only change 
schools at the start of a full term unless there are special 
reasons. We prefer you not to change schools as this can 
affect your child’s education. In-year application forms 
are available from schools, from our office at Margaret 
McMillan Tower or can be downloaded from the Bradford 
Council website www.bradford.gov.uk. For Catholic 
schools you will need to contact the school direct and fill 
in their form.
Fair Access Protocol
All local authorities must have a Fair Access Protocol to 
ensure that access to education is secured quickly for 
children who have no school place. Children who are 
dealt with under the protocol are likely to be the most 
vulnerable or present challenging behaviour and who 
cannot reasonably be managed through the normal 
admissions process. Children admitted through the 
protocol may be placed in a year group which is full and 
will take precedence over other children on the waiting 
list. It is the local authority’s decision to determine which 
children are dealt with by the protocol and therefore 
the procedure falls outside the normal admission 
arrangements set out in this booklet.
In-year admissions and transfers
Apply online by 15 January 2018 @ www.bradford.gov.uk/admissions

Apply online at www.bradford.gov.uk/admissions
We have to make sure that there is free part-time early 
years education 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, children’s centres, early year’s settings such as 
playgroups or childminders or reception classes (for four 
year olds only).
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 flexibility 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 Childcare Choices website .
To apply for a universal place see Nursery schools and 
nursery classes below.
Some two year olds are also entitled to free early education 
places.  To secure a place parents must show that they 
are in receipt of one or more of the benefits listed under 
‘Financial Help’ below. Parents can check if they are 
eligible by visiting families’ information service.
To find out more about registered early years settings 
which provide free or partly funded early education, phone 
the Families Information Service on xx-xxxx-xxxx or visit 
the council’s website at www.bradford.gov.uk
Nursery schools and nursery classes
You can apply for a nursery place for your child using a 
standard nursery application 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.
Headteachers 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 2018. Guidance is 
available at https://www.bradford.gov.uk/education-
and-skills/school-admissions/admission-of-summer-
born-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 benefits, 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 
benefits:
l 
Child Tax Credit, (but not Working Tax Credit) and 
have an annual income (as assessed by HM Revenue 
& Customs) that does not exceed £16,190 
l 
Income Support 
l 
Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance 
l 
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance 
l 
The Guarantee element of State Pension Credit 
l 
Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum 
Act 1999. (You will need to apply directly to the school 
to receive this benefit.)
l 
Universal credit  
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  
first time. 
You can visit www.bradford.gov.uk/schoolmeals to make 
an application or see more contact details on page 3.

The journey to school
Changes to assistance with travel from home  
to school
The Travel Policies for home to school and college 
have changed. The Council has removed most of the 
discretionary assistance it previously provided including, 
to those schools attended on the basis of belief or lack 
of belief, the “at no extra cost” criterion, the “straight line” 
criterion and children who may have historically been 
provided with assistance may not now be entitled to it.
The Council has looked at how it can deliver transport 
differently to those with additional needs and will look 
to provide a personal travel budget where possible or 
travel training where appropriate. Children starting a new 
school from September 2018 or applying for school travel 
assistance for the first time will be assessed under the 
current policy. Please see https://www.bradford.gov.
uk/education-and-skills/travel-assistance/assistance-
with-travel-to-home-school-and-college/
Assistance with travel to school will be made only to 
the nearest available school to your home, otherwise 
assistance will not normally be provided. We consider all 
schools in relation to your home address which include 
those that are outside the Bradford District. “Priority 
admission areas” used in the admission process are not 
taken into consideration, neither is any distinction made 
between single sex and co-educational schools.
Unsafe routes to school
Many routes that were previously categorised as unsafe 
were not taken into account when measuring the distance 
to school. The Council is reviewing all of its unsafe routes 
to school. Over many years improvements have been 
made to the highway system including new pavements, 
traffic calming, crossing facilities and speed reductions.
All routes now designated safe will be removed from 
the Council list. This may impact on who will qualify 
for free travel to school as the measured distance may 
now be shorter and less than the qualifying distance for 
assistance.
Sustainable travel to school
Bradford Council promotes ‘sustainable school travel’ and 
you can help. Think about how your child will travel to 
school. Could your child walk or cycle? Does the school 
have a ‘walking school bus’? If you live further away, could 
you use public transport or car share? If you encourage 
sustainable travel choices from an early age you will have 
a positive effect on your child’s health and safety and on 
the environment, and it will help them to gain valuable 
life and social skills. You can find more information in the 
Council’s ‘Sustainable Schools Travel Strategy for Children 
and Young People’ at www.bradford.gov.uk
Reduced fares
Reduced fares are available to pupils in full-time education 
travelling on all trains and most buses displaying the Metro 
symbol.
l 
11 to 16 year olds can pay half fare if they buy a Young 
Person’s PhotoCard.
l 
16 to 18 year olds can pay half fare if they buy a 
Scholar’s PhotoCard.
l 
Five to 18 year olds can buy a School Plus Ticket for 
travel on most buses (but not trains) at any time of the 
day including evenings and weekends.
For more information about reduced fares and bus and 
train times, phone Metroline on xx-xxxx-xxxx, open 8am 
to 8pm, seven days a week or visit the Metro website: 
www.generationM.co.uk
‘My bus’ services also operate to certain schools. If you 
would like more information on these services, please 
contact the Metro ‘My bus’ hotline on xx-xxxx-xxxx.
The assessment process
We determine your nearest ‘suitable qualifying school’ with 
places available at the time of allocation of school places.
If you apply outside of this time, because for example 
you move address; we will determine it at the time of the 
application. We then consider the needs of your child and 
the qualifying criteria set out in the Home to School Travel 
Policy for Compulsory School Aged Children. 
Travel and Transport Policy for Children of 
Compulsory School Age 
The following is a brief outline.
Children below the age of eight may qualify for assistance 
with travel if they live over two miles walking distance from 
the nearest school with places. For children age eight and 
above the walking distance is three miles. We measure 
the distance along a safe walking route, on ‘metalled roads 
and footpaths’ accompanied as necessary by an adult.
Apply online by 15 January 2018 @ www.bradford.gov.uk/admissions

Apply online at www.bradford.gov.uk/admissions
Extra entitlement for children from low income 
families 
Children from low-income families, aged 11 to 16, are 
entitled to assistance with travel to one of their nearest 
three schools between two and six miles from their 
home. For those attending schools on the grounds of 
their parent’s religion or belief, they are entitled to receive 
assistance with travel to schools between two and 15 
miles from their home. Children from low-income families 
are those whose parents receive the highest level of 
Working Tax Credit. 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.
Entitlement for children with additional needs
Children who are unable to walk to school because of their 
special educational needs, disability or temporary medical 
position 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 well being.
Travel provision
If your child qualifies, 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 by bus or train, we may 
provide dedicated or specialist transport, personal budget 
or travelling training.
How and when to apply
Complete the application form that best meets your 
child’s circumstances. For those children requiring a 
bus pass please download an application form from 
the GenerationM website at www.generationm.co.uk/
passes-permits/freeschooltravel/. For children with 
additional needs application forms can be downloaded 
from the Bradford Council website, or request one from 
the Travel Assistance Service. Most people apply when 
they have their school place confirmed. Application forms 
should be returned by the last Friday in May in order for 
us to process your application for the term starting in 
September.

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 fifth 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 
be offered 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 fifth 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 2018. Guidance is 
available at www.bradford.gov.uk/education-and-skills/
school-admissions/admissions-of-summer-born-children/ 
Children with a statement of special  educational 
needs or Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP)
The admission of pupils with a statement of special 
educational needs or EHCP is dealt with by a separate 
procedure. Such children will be admitted to the school 
named on the statement without reference to the 
oversubscription criteria below.
Twins and triplets
Where a family of twins or triplets 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.
Admissions to Catholic primary schools
The following explanatory notes apply to the admission 
policies of all Catholic primary schools:
School Admissions Policies
Catholic means a member of a church in communion with 
the See of Rome. A certificate of baptism in a Catholic 
church, or a certificate of reception into the full communion 
of the Catholic Church, will normally evidence this. This 
includes the Eastern Catholic Churches. 
Catechumens are those children who have given an explicit 
desire to be baptised into the Roman Catholic Church 
and who are currently preparing to receive the same by 
regular participation in Sunday worship and a recognised 
programme of preparation. A letter from the Catholic priest 
preparing the child is required.
Looked After Child has the same meaning as in section 22 
of the Children Act 1989, and means any child in the care of 
a local authority or provided with accommodation by them 
(e.g. children with foster parents). 
Defined 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 sisters) includes children with 
brothers and sisters (including step-brothers or sisters) 
of statutory school age, living at the same address, in 
attendance at the same school, or a school on the same 
site, 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 flats 
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.
