Admissions to BWI
Admissions Overview
BWI is a two form entry Church of England primary school with an agreed admission level for each year group of 60 children. We welcome applications from all those who wish their children to be educated in a school which offers a strong educational and pastoral environment within a Christian Ethos.
BWI admits children into Rainbows (the BWI Nursery) when they are approximately 3 1/2 years old where they attend either a morning or afternoon session for approximately 1 year, until they are eligible to enter full-time school (Reception).
Admission to full time education at Reception level is at either September or January for the year (1st September to the 31st August of the year following) in which your child turns five. Applications for admission are dealt with separately from the other admissions as described below.
All parents are encouraged to look around the school before submitting their applications. Individual tours conducted by the pupils and the Head Teacher can be arranged by contacting the School office on 01895 633520. There are also open tours and the dates for these can also be found from the School office.
There is also a Before & After School Club which caters for parents who need to drop their children off earlier or pick them up later than school times. Details can be found on the Before & After School Club page.
