BWI Primary School has an inclusive admissions policy that applies to all children and families. Admissions to Reception are the responsibility of Hillingdon Local Authority https://archive.hillingdon.gov.uk/primary all other in-year admissions for your other year groups (1-6) can be made by contacting the school office at office@bwi.org.uk. Intakes are monitored very carefully across age and gender groupings to the best educational benefit of the children. If more applications are made than spaces are available, places will be offered using our published admissions criteria.
(i.e. Applications for admission to year groups other than Reception and for Reception outside the normal time table of application).
You can choose to apply for an In-Year Admission place directly through BWI School by contacting office@bwi.org.uk or calling on 01895 633520.

If a place is available and there is no waiting list for the relevant year group, then BWI School, if you have applied directly, or your Local Authority, will communicate the Governing Body’s offer of a place at BWI to you.If there are no places available at the time of application, the school will write to you with this information and advise your Local Authority.
The Early years is all about learning through play! Children start their learning journey at BWI by experiencing the world around them using all of their senses, going outside to explore and investigate at every opportunity. Some of the activities your child will take part in will make them look a little messy, but they will have had fun while they’re doing it and learning lots without even realising it! The mud kitchen, water and sand areas are especially well attended!
Our Nursery and Reception children take part in a wide range of activities and experiences that aim to foster good speaking and listening skills, strong social skills, emotional resilience, independence, curiosity and above all - a desire to learn! We have experienced members of staff who will support your child through their first steps at our school.
In nursery, children begin their journey to learn phonics, literacy and maths, through engaging practical activities. Thanks to the make-up of our early years setting, nursery children are, at times, able to take advantage of learning alongside their peers in reception which allows them to make great steps and be challenged in their early learning.
