To Be The Best That We Can Be
Athelstan Primary School has a maximum admission number of 60 children. This means we can accept up to 60 children in each year group.The local admissions authority for this school is North Yorkshire Local Education Authority based in Harrogate they operate the following guidelines for admissions, in priority order:-
Children are eligible for Foundation Stage Two (FS2) in the academic year they are 5. The academic year runs from September 1st to August 31st. So if a child is already 4 on September 1st and will thus celebrate their 5th birthday before the following September they are eligible for a Reception place that year, from September. By law children MUST be in full time education by the beginning of the term following their fifth birthday.
We would be happy for you, to contact the school office for any information you require about the school, or the process of admission. Paper copies of the prospectus and an application form can be made available, but equally both can be found online.
All applications for places are handled by North Yorkshire Local Authority- who is the school's admission's authority - and should be undertaken through the admissions portal. If you do not currently live within North Yorkshire you must make your application to your own local authority - but you can name this school as a preference.
Due to Covid 19 restrictions this year we will not be able to hold our annual Open Evening, however we will be preparing a slide show and a video presentation of the school to give you an insight into life at Athelstan and guide you through the admission process.
