We are opening Carr Manor Community Pre-school in September 2024.

The Pre-school is for children aged 2 – 4 years. To enquire about a place at our Pre-school, please complete the form linked below.

Year 1 – Year 6 admissions
If you’re moving into Leeds or want to change schools in Leeds, you need to make a school transfer – often called an in-year application. Moving schools can be a difficult experience for a child. You should always speak to your child’s current school before trying to move to see what support they can offer you.

How to apply for an in-year place – You can apply for a place online using the Leeds in-year application form. You can apply for places at our school and most other Leeds schools at the same time on this form. If you have moved house, please upload evidence of the house move with the online application. You can find out what you need to provide on the above website.

We have to offer places by applying our admission policy criteria to your child’s application and we will contact you with our decision about offering you a place. We will tell you our decision no later than 15 school days from when you apply. If we cannot offer you a place, we will;

  • write to you to explain the reasons,
  • explain how you can appeal and
  • add your child to our waiting list in case a place becomes free.

Our waiting lists are kept until end of each school year. You will need to make a new application if you want to be on the waiting list for the following school year.

For further information about the primary phase admissions process, please visit www.leeds.gov.uk. You can also ring our primary phase admissions officer, Mrs H Harris, on 0113 3368401, or email us at [email protected].

Appeals

You can appeal against the decision to refuse your child a place at your preferred school(s). By doing this, you will automatically be placed on the waiting list for your higher preference school. In the meantime, you should accept the place you have been offered by contacting the school directly. This will ensure your child has a place in September and it will not affect your waiting list position or the appeal.

If you wish to appeal for a school in a different local authority, you should contact the relevant council for further details. Please visit www.leeds.gov.uk/schools-and-education/school-admissions/school-appeals for further information on appeals.

If you are not offered a place at the school you requested, you will have the right of appeal.

Appeal deadlines
For places starting in September 2024, the deadline to submit an appeal for Year 7 is 28th March 2024 and for Reception is 14th May 2024

Appeals for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2
These classes are limited to 30 pupils per teacher by law. This means that appeals for these places are less likely to be successful. If our school refuses your child a place because of this limit and you want to appeal, you will need to make an infant class size appeal.
