Admissions

Butterstile Primary School is a Local Authority school catering for children aged 3-11 years, with 370 at present on roll. Children’s full-time education currently starts when they are admitted to the Reception class at the beginning of the school year in which they attain the age of 5. We can also offer these children part-time nursery places in our Early Years Unit from September of the previous year. Transfer to High School takes place at the age of 11.

Parents wishing their child to be registered for a place in Reception are invited to make an appointment with the Headteacher. It is important to bring along the child’s birth certificate so that date of birth can be confirmed. A meeting is held each May for parents to see the building, meet the staff, and discuss admission procedures and requirements.

The school has a designated admission limit of 50. An appeals procedure is available for unsuccessful applicants. Application forms can be obtained from the school office and need to be returned to the Local Authority.
