Starting school in foundation stage
Children start in our reception classes (foundation stage) in the September following their 4th birthday. Online applications are made via Brent Council online. Parents/carers should apply between 1 September and 12 noon on 15 January. For more information about applying for a place in reception, please visit the Brent Council
How to apply
For applications in the normal admissions round parents should use the application form provided by their home local authority (regardless of which local authority the School is in). Parents can use this form to express their preference for a minimum of three state-funded schools, in rank order. Parents will receive an offer for a school place directly from their local authority.
In-year applications
Parents can apply for a place for their child at any time outside the normal admissions round. Applications for in-year admissions must be made to the local authority, Brent Council. As is the case in the normal admissions round, all children whose EHCP names the School will be admitted. If admission would cause an infant class to be unlawfully large or prejudice the provision of efficient education or the efficient use of resources, it may be necessary to refuse a place. If there are no spaces available at the time of the application, the child’s name may on request be added to the waiting list for the relevant year group.
Appeals
If an application for a place at the school is unsuccessful (whether made during the normal admissions round or in-year), parents will be informed why admission was refused and given information about the process for hearing appeals. If parents wish to appeal, they must set out the grounds for the appeal in writing and send it to admin@gladpark.anthemtrust.uk
