Admissions

Parkwood Primary School can accept children from age 3-11. If you would like to apply for a place in nursery for your 3 year old, please contact the school directly to request an application pack and arrange a visit.  

Our main school has one intake in September each year. Children usually start in the September following their fourth birthday. We can also accept children mid-year who are moving into the area or changing school, dependent on current numbers and spaces within year groups. 

Any parents wishing to consider Parkwood are encouraged to contact the school to arrange to visit and look around:

About our Resourced Provision 

We have a Resourced Provision (RP) for children with additional learning needs. Places in the RP are allocated through a separate Bradford SEND process. Applying for a mainstream school place does not give access to a place in the RP. Please contact the school if you would like to know more about this provision and the admissions process.

The applications process usually runs from mid-October to mid-January and parents and carers are usually contacted by the Local Authority to confirm their school allocation by the end of April. However, please check the Local Authority website to confirm the specific timings and any other important information.  

If we are unable to offer your child a place you have the right to appeal. You will find details of the appeals process and timeline here:
