Applications for admission to Reception
Applications to Reception at Widden Primary School are co-ordinated by Gloucestershire County Council.
Applications for admission to Reception at Widden Primary School must be made by January of the year of admission to the child’s home local authority on their Common Application Form, naming Widden Primary School as a preference on the form.
Applications must be made by the parent. Parent refers to the person with ‘parental responsibility’ for the child or the child’s designated carer. Where the applicant is not the natural birth parent, this should be indicated on the application form.
Applications may be made online for Reception places here where comprehensive information about the admissions and application process is available. Applications for primary school places must be made no later than 15 January.
If you are resident outside Gloucestershire, you should apply through your own local authority.
