Admissions

Applying for a place at this school.

Knowsley Village Primary School is a community primary school. We welcome visits to the school by families who may be interested in applying – please ring 0151 289 5349 for more information and we can make an appointment for you to come and see us.

We are delighted to announce that the admission number for Knowsley Village School is now 30. This is as a result of being previously oversubscribed for 5 years.  Please explore our class pages and welcome from Reception Class.

Under the provisions of the School Admissions Code, The Governors of Knowsley Village Primary School agreed with the Local Authority (the Admission Authority) agreed from November 2016, they will admit up to a maximum of 30 children across all year groups in the school (Reception to year 6).

Due to the change in the admission number there are now some places available in year groups that previously were not. Please contact the school office for current year group availability. For admissions in current Reception to Year 6  mid year application forms are available from the school office and visits to the school to meet Mrs Barlow, the staff and children are most welcomed.

School Admission Policy for Reception Places

Paper copies are available from school or from the Knowsley Inclusion Team (Admissions) by phoning 0151 443 5142/3. The booklet gives you all the information you’ll need to apply for school places. Up to date admission policies will be sent to schools in each new academic year and given to parents.

Any appeals for places are carried out via the Local Authority and not the school. Parents should contact the Local Authority if they wish to appeal.

Applications at other times / Mid year Applications

If you are moving to this area and are interested in a place for your child, please get in touch with the school. We are happy to make an appointment for you to view the school. There is an In-Year Application form  available from the school office to complete.   Please ring the school re available places. For years 1 to 6 we do offer an internal waiting list and places will be offered if they become available.

Any appeals for places are made via the Local Authority and not through the school.

Nursery Admissions

We take pupils into the nursery on a termly basis –  the term following the child’s third birthday. There is a local authority nursery booklet which includes the application form available on the Knowsley Council website – www.knowsley.gov.uk or from the school. You can use this form wherever you live.

NB Obtaining a place in the nursery does not give your child automatically result admission to reception class – you still need to apply for a reception place at the right time.

We offer 15hours and 30 hours for  parents of 3 year olds (Nursery age). Please contact the school office for further details. Places for the extended child care offer are limited.

If you have any queries about how to apply for this school, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or call in. The Inclusion Team ( LA Admissions) can also assist with general advice.
