Admissions

Eastwood Community School can accept children from age 2-11. Any parents wishing to consider Greatwood are warmly encouraged to contact the school to arrange a visit. 

Our main school has one intake in September each year for children whose fifth birthday falls between 1 September and 31 August inclusive. We also accept children mid-year who are moving into the area or changing school, dependent on current numbers and spaces within year groups.

Nursery applications

If your child is 2 or 3 years old, you can apply directly to school to register for a place in our nursery. When allocated a nursery place, a home visit and nursery visit will be arranged. You will also be invited to bring your child along to our free Stay and Play sessions before they start to help them settle. Please contact the school to find out more and to apply. 

School applications

Our main school has one intake in September each year. Children usually start in the September following their fourth birthday. We can also accept children mid-year who are moving into the area or changing school, dependent on current numbers and spaces within year groups.

Admissions are made through the co-ordinated school admissions scheme for the Bradford Metropolitan District Area. A place in Nursery does not automatically guarantee a place in school. 

The applications process usually runs from mid-October to mid-January and parents and carers are usually contacted by the Local Authority to confirm their school allocation by the end of April. However, please check the Bradford council website to confirm the specific timings and any other important information. If we are unable to offer your child a place you have the right to appeal.
