Reception place for September 2025
For a Reception place for September 2025: If your child was born between 1 September 2020 and 31 August 2021, they are due to start in reception class at a primary school in September 2025. You must apply for a reception class place for your child even if they attend a school nursery or have an older brother or sister at your preferred school. If your child currently attends our nursery this does not give them any priority for a place in reception class at St Patrick’s. If you and your child live in Waltham Forest, you must apply through Waltham Forest. If you and your child live outside Waltham Forest, you must apply to the local authority in which you live, even if you are applying for schools in other areas. How to apply: The brochure Starting Primary School 202 5 (3MB PDF) contains all the information you need to know about applying for a reception class place. Please check the latest admissions information below for updates to this brochure. Download Starting Pri
