Admissions

From September 2013, Bentley West Primary School took responsibility from Admissions & Appeals for all in year applications for a school place.  If your child is currently out of school, or you want them to transfer from their current school to Bentley West Primary School, please come to the main school office and request an application form so that your child can be added to our waiting list.  

There is an admissions policy outlining in detail how to apply for a place and this is in line with the Local Authority guidelines and can be found below.

Admissions Policies

The school can admit 30 children in any class.

We ask for the following information to be provided in order to register a child:

Identification

Full Birth Certificate   Or   Passport

Proof of Address 

Council Tax Letter or Utility Bills (Water, Electric and Gas excluding Mobile bills)

Places are allocated according to the authority published criteria.

The criteria are as follows:

1. Looked after children and any child with a statement of Special Educational Needs.

2. Children with brothers or sisters already at school who will still be at Bentley West Primary School when they start school themselves.

3. Children who live nearest to the school by straight line measurement.

NB. Admission arrangements for disabled students will be coordinated by our SENDCo Miss Jacks.

Primary School Transfers

The arrangements for children who transfer from another school to Bentley West Primary School are as follows:

1. Once the decision to transfer to Bentley West Primary School has been made, a start date for your child(ren) will be established. Details of previous school will be taken so that records can be passed on.

2. To assist with your son’s/daughter’s transfer, parents and children will have the opportunity to view the school at work and meet the Head Teacher/Head off School as part of the transition. 

If the year group is full, you will be placed on a waiting list and we will inform you when a place becomes available.

If you would like to seek more advice, please feel free to come and talk to one of the school admin staff. Alternatively, you may wish to contact the Admissions and Appeals Department at Walsall Council - telephone number: 01922 652585
