Children are admitted in age order depending on their date of birth. All children who are in the catchment area will be admitted before those outside it unless they already have a sibling at the school. The main admissions point of the year is the Autumn Term. Subsequent spaces may become available if children leave Gallions Nursery.
Children attend Gallions Nursery for up to three terms and will usually start at age three, becoming four by the end of the nursery year (August). Children born in September are admitted first, followed by children with October birthdays and so on.
If all children born from September to August were admitted during the academic year, the next cohort of September birthdays would be contacted and given the opportunity of a longer time in the nursery. Within each birth month children are contacted in order of how long they have been on the waiting list.
The law requires that all schools must have admission arrangements that clearly set out how children will be admitted, including the criteria that will be applied if there are more applications than places at the school. Admission arrangements are determined by admission authorities.
We are an academy which means we are our own admission authority but have adopted the London Borough of Newham’s admission arrangements and processes to ensure continuity across the borough.
The staff, governing body and pupils of Gallions Primary School would welcome you applying for a place at our school. To do this you must follow the correct process for your child’s age as detailed below.
All applications for this school must be made through London Borough of Newham’s Pupil Services, not this school.
If a family arrives in Newham during the school year and their child needs a school place they must complete an In Year form naming their preferred schools.
School places are usually offered within 10 days. The place offered may not be at the school the family prefers, as that school may not have a suitable place available.
Before submitting an application, we strongly recommend all families read the autumn edition of the local authorities “Starting Primary School” guide and find out information about the school you are interested in.
