Admissions

Primary School Admissions

Applications are now open online for parents/carers of children born between 01/09/2017 and 31/08/2018 and wishing to make an application for their child to start Primary School in September 2022. The deadline for Primary 2022 applications is Saturday 15th January 2022. Don’t be late as this may reduce your chances of being offered a place at one of your preferred schools.  The offer date is Tuesday 19^th April 2022.

For your child to gain a place in our Reception class please complete the Primary Admissions 2022 booklet. This booklet should be issued by your child’s current Nursery or can be completed online Here

You will then be advised by the local council as to whether your child has gained a place at Widnes Academy.

Once a place has been awarded the school will contact you by letter to share meeting dates for parents and arrange visit days for the children.

Arrangements for In Year Admissions

For admission during term time in any class we ask that you approach the school directly for a school registration form and a Halton in year admission form. Once these are complete a start date will be agreed.

Please note – For all admissions into Widnes Academy and Nursery the school office will be required to take a photocopy of a Birth certificate which will be kept securely in your child’s school file in  the school office.

Admissions to Nursery

Children are eligible for free Nursery provision  at Widnes Academy Nursery from their 3rd birthday and are allowed to start from this date entering either our Morning or Afternoon session.

Nursery application forms can be completed as soon as your child is born and will be retained on file until they are due to turn 3. 

When your child is then approaching their 3rd birthday Nursery staff will be in contact to organise and arrange Nursery visit days and will confirm their start date.

Nursery application forms can be downloaded from this website or by calling into the school office.

We are currently offering Virtual Tours of our Early Year Foundation Stage for those parents wishing to apply for places in our Nursery or Reception class
