Reception Admissions 2026

Welcome to Addingham Primary School.

We’re delighted that you’re considering applying for a place for your child to join us in September 2026.

To support your decision, we warmly invite you and your child to attend one of our upcoming Open Events. These sessions are a great opportunity to explore our setting, discover what we offer, and speak directly with key staff and current parents whose children joined us in September 2026. You’ll be able to ask questions, share any concerns, and get a real feel for our community.

There is no need to book, just turn up! Our sessions are:

Wednesday 22nd October at 6pm.

Tuesday 25th November at 9:30am. 

Wednesday 10th December  at 1:30pm

Once you’ve decided which school you’d like your child to attend, you’ll need to apply through the local authority where your child lives.

If your child lives in the Bradford District, applications for Reception places for September 2026 should be made via the online admissions system between 17 November 2025 and 15 January 2026.

Click HERE to access the Online portal, to apply for a  place for your child.

If you apply online for a primary school place, you will receive an email on the 16th April 2026, telling you which school your child has been offered (unless you opted out of this service). Emails will be sent out from BMDC. 

All online applicants can also view their child’s school place offer from midnight on the 16th April 2026, by logging into their account on the online system.

If your child is offered a place at Addingham Primary School, we’ll be in touch in early May to guide you through the next steps as we prepare to welcome them into our Reception class in September 2026.
