Foundation Stage (Reception) Process

Information about the application process and the County Council online application form will be available in the autumn on the County Council website. Alternatively you can contact the Access to Education Team directly on 01452 425407.

You will also need to send copies of your child's birth certificate and baptism certificate (if applicable) which should be returned directly to the school at admin@st-gregorygreat.gloucs.sch.uk.  This should be done before the closing date for applications.

Allocations

We recommend that you accept the allocated school place as this in no way affects any request to go on the waiting list or appeal for an alternative school place but does ensure that your child has a school place for September.

Please note if any schools on your waiting list can be offered, your original offer will be withdrawn and given to another child. If you require the original offer back, you may have to go on a waiting list which will be held in accordance with the school’s admission criteria.

PLEASE NOTE:
The Gloucestershire Local Authority is responsible for allocating school places for children joining Reception.  The Governors are responsible for ranking the applications according to the Admissions Policy of that year.
