Admissions

Greatwood Community Primary and Nursery School can accept children from age 3-11. Any parents wishing to consider Greatwood are warmly encouraged to contact the school to arrange a visit. 

Nursery applications

If you would like to apply for a place in nursery for your 3 year old, please contact the school directly to request an application pack. 

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 North Yorkshire. 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 Local Authority 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.
