If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below.
The Pupil Admission Number (PAN) for Reception is 45. We are a one and a half form entry primary school and operate mixed age classes.
Applying to Full Time School
This process is called first admissions and is dealt with directly by the local authority. You will receive a letter directly to your home address in the November of the school year prior to the next academic year when your child will become five.
All information is available at www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk Parents/carers are required to apply on a common application form through their ‘home’ local authority.
You will need an email account if you wish to make an online application; it is a safe and secure way to apply, and you can make changes to your application right up to the closing date. You will receive an email to acknowledge that your application is being processed.
You can find further information from Nottinghamshire County Council here.
New starters for September 2023
Choosing the right school for your child is a really important decision. We encourage prospective parents to visit our school during a typical school day so you can see first-hand what we at Awsworth can offer your child as they embark on their school learning journey.
We believe that the best way to get a feel for our school is to visit, as the children are at the centre of all we do.
Visits are by appointment only, with a maximum of 2 adult places per household. Please contact the school office by calling 0115 9321 926 or email office@awsworthprimary.org
