ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
ADMISSIONS CONSULTATION
Whilst we mirror the Leeds City Council Admission Policy, the Governing Body at Southroyd Primary and Nursery school are the admission authority. This means the Governing Body must determine (set and approve) our September 2026 to July 2027 admissions policy by 28 February 2025. We are proposing removing the exceptional need priority as the Local Authority’s Leeds SEND transformation programme will make the priority redundant. Our proposed 2026 policy is below. We seek your views on these changes. The deadline for responses is midnight on 15 December 2024.

There is also the link to the online application form
Families are please reminded to
- use all 5 preferences, using only use 1 or 2 preferences decreases the chances of being offered a place at a preferred school;
- 1st preference first isn’t allowed, - schools don’t know the preference order families provide;
- any supplementary information needs to be provided by the closing date (this applies if a child is previously looked after, is seeking admission under exceptional needs or if a family wish to apply for their child to be admitted out of chronological age group)
- use the child’s actual permanent address. Using that of a friend, relatives, childminder or renting a property to gain a school place are all considered fraud and places can be withdrawn.
