Admissions – Primary (5 – 11yr olds)
Children can start primary school from the start of the academic year following their 4th birthday and must start school by the start of the term after their fifth birthday. Most children start in our Reception class in September but parents may decide that their child is ‘not ready’ for school until the Spring or Summer term. Please speak to the Head teacher about the best time for your child to join our school.
Parents of Reception children in Shropshire will be required, in the Spring term prior to the school year of admission, to complete a Local Authority Application Form stating preferences for up to three schools. The Admissions Team at Shropshire Council are responsible for the allocation of Reception places at Bicton C.E. Primary School and more information can be found on the Shropshire Council School Admissions page of their website.
Priority of a place at Bicton C.E. Primary School is given to children living in the catchment area, followed by siblings of children at the school who live outside the catchment area, children who would like to attend from outside the catchment area and children with medical conditions.
We welcome and actively encourage visits to our school, prior to parents making an application for a school place. Please telephone the school office on 01743 850212 or call in to arrange a visit.
There is also further information in Shropshire Council’s information booklet ‘Parent’s Guide to Education in Shropshire.’ A copy is held in school or can be downloaded below
