Admissions

Ley Top Primary School is a 2 form entry school which means we have spaces for 60 children in each year. From September 2026, the school will be reducing its Published Admissions Number (PAN) to 30 for new intakes into Reception.

If you would like to visit the school before making an application please contact the school office on 01274 541554.

Applying for a place in Nursery

To apply for a place in our Nursery, please call into the school office to collect a Nursery application form. The school will need to see the birth certificate of the child and this information will be recorded on the application form. Children’s names for Nursery places are taken as soon as possible.

Children will be admitted to Nursery having taken into account the following criteria (which is the same as the City of Bradford MDC’s admissions policy for Reception)

1. Children who have an older brother or sister who lives at the same address and will still be at the same school at the time of admission.
2. Children within our catchment area will have priority if the school is oversubscribed.
3. Places will be filled from the waiting list in order of school receiving the completed application form.
4. The need to fit in with the admission policies of the neighbouring schools.

We will try to accommodate emergency placements requested by social services or other outside agencies if vacancies are available.

To apply for a place in our Nursery please contact Miss Carney on 01274 541554.

Applying for a place in Reception 

All children in Bradford are admitted into Reception Class in the academic year in which they are five.  All children begin school in September.

In the November before your child starts school, an application pack containing all the required information from Bradford Council will be released from Bradford Council. You then apply for your preferred Reception class online. This online form gives you the opportunity to name five schools you would like your child to attend, in preference order. The online application form needs to be completed and returned to the authority at the beginning of January.  Parents will be informed about places during the April before the children start school.

To apply for a place for your child to start in Reception in September 2026 you should apply using the link here.

If you would like help completing this form please contact the school office.
