Admissions
Welcome to Meadowfield Primary School. If you are interested in applying for a place and would like to find out more about our wonderful school, please contact the office on 0113 3230010.
We invite you to come and have a look around at one of our open days or by appointment. These are aimed primarily at future Nursery and Reception children as well as providing an opportunity for the wider community to visit and see what the school has to offer.
The school will admit 78 into the Nursery and 60 children into Reception each September.Admissions criteria can be found in the Meadowfield Admissions policy below.
How to apply
Parents and carers may apply at any time for an in-year school place. Applications are provided and processed by Leeds City Council.
If you have moved to a new house, please upload evidence of the move with the online application.
Parents and carers will be notified in writing by the school of its decision. This will be within 15 school days of your in-year application being received.
If the school is unable to offer a place, your child’s name will automatically be added to the school’s waiting list, which will be kept open until the end of the school year in July 2023. Where a place becomes available, this will be offered from the waiting list, based on the oversubscription criteria within the school’s admissions policy.
In-year applications
(1 September 2023 to 31 August 2024)
If you would like to change schools, or if you are moving into the area for example, you can apply for a school transfer, by making an in-year application.
An in-year application is for the admission of a child to Reception if submitted on or after the first day of the first school term of the admission year; or it is for the admission of a child to any other age group at any time.
Red Kite Learning Trust and its Leeds schools are part of the Leeds City Council centralised in-year admissions scheme.

You can apply for a place online using the local authority in-year application form at:
Before you move schools (leeds.gov.uk).

If the school is unable to offer a place, your child’s name will automatically be added to the school’s waiting list, which will be kept open until the end of the school year in July 2024.

Appeals
If your in-year application is unsuccessful, you will have the right of appeal against the school’s decision.

We recommend that you use the on-line system to register because it is quicker, easier and safer than applying on paper form. You will have proof that your application has been sent and you will be able to log back in and check or change your details up until the closing date.
The offer of a place letter or email will be sent on 17th April 2023. Parents must then contact the school to accept the place offered to them.
