Starting school, or moving from one school to another can be a worrying time for both parents and children.  We aim to make the school admissions process as painless and trouble free as we can; and if problems do arise, for example if we cannot offer your child a place at the school you want, the School Admissions Team will discuss alternatives with you and give you details of the appeals arrangements.

All of us in the Family Services want your child to be happy and successful throughout their school career.  We do hope that will prove to be the case, and that your child will take full advantage not just of the high standard of teaching our schools offer, but also of the full range of extra curricular activities many schools have available.

These pages explain Wakefield policies and information on school admissions from starting primary school through to high school.
