Applications for admission to Reception

Applications to Reception at Waterwells Primary Academy are co-ordinated by Gloucestershire County Council.

Applications for admission to Reception at Waterwells Primary Academy must be made by January of the year of admission to the child’s home local authority on their Common Application Form, naming Waterwells Primary Academy as a preference on the form.

Applications must be made by the parent. Parent refers to the person with ‘parental responsibility’ for the child or the child’s designated carer. Where the applicant is not the natural birth parent, this should be indicated on the application form.
