Reception Class Admissions

Children are admitted to mainstream school (i.e. the Reception Class) once a year in the Autumn Term after their 4th birthday.

Parents will receive a letter from South Tyneside Council, via the nursery the child attends, approximately a year before the child is due to start asking parents to apply online by a date set in January.

Parents can apply online below.

Places will be allocated in the summer term, and parents will be notified in due course about the availability or otherwise of a place in the Reception Class. Parents who are unsuccessful in gaining admission for their child to the school of their choice have the right to appeal to the Local Education Authority. The procedure for this can be obtained from the Town Hall (0191 4271717). For Further information please see South Tyneside Parents booklet below.
