Reception Admissions
Beckfoot Priestthorpe Primary School & Nursery is a community primary school for children between the ages of 3 and 11. The admission number for Reception, agreed with our Local Authority, is 30 per year group. We hold open days where you can come and see our school prior to your child starting in September. If you would like to visit us at any other point, please contact us – we would love to welcome you.
Nursery admissions
At Beckfoot Priestthorpe, we maintain a waiting list for admission to our Nursery. We admit children to Nursery over the year; the term after your child turns 3. We currently operate morning nursery places only, however, we would consider 30 hour placements dependent on the needs of the cohort.
Children attending our nursery are not guaranteed a place in our reception class. A separate application mist be made to the Local Authority who are responsible for allocating places at our school. We welcome visits from interested parents and families at any point throughout the year. Please follow the button below for the link to our Nursery application form.
Feeder School for Beckfoot Secondary School
We are now a feeder school for Beckfoot Secondary School in Bingley. This means that if your child attends our school in Year 5, when their secondary school applications are processed, they will be allocated a place at Beckfoot School, providing it is their first choice on their application. This is not affected by where your child lives.
Spaces in other year groups
We currently have places available in other year groups across our school, to learn more about transferring your child, please contact the school directly.

Arrangements for children starting school
Beckfoot Priestthorpe Primary School is a community school; we admit up to 30 children into reception every September. We only have one intake each year, so children usually start school full time in September of the year they turn five.
Each year, all new reception parents are invited to a welcome meeting where relevant information is shared about our school. Visits from parents in other year groups considering a transfer to the school can be made at any time by contacting the school.
