Together We Inspire and Achieve

Admissions

Waltham St Lawrence Primary School is a school for boys and girls from 4 – 11 years of age and is maintained by Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM). As from September 2018 the school’s new published admission number (PAN) has increased to 22 from 19 for each year group. This means that we are allowed to admit no more than 22 children in each academic year group. Should the number of applications exceed this figure, the following Local Authority (LA) set criteria for admission will be considered when offering places:

  1. Children whose home address is in the area served by the school.
  2. Children who have brothers or sisters attending the school.
  3. Children who have strong medical or social grounds for admission.
  4. Children whose parents have any other appropriate reason for their preference.

Children will be admitted in the September after their 4th birthday.

Where it is necessary to choose between children within the same category this will be done on a geographical basis. Those children living nearest to the School will have priority in the allocation of spaces. Distances will be measured using a straight line on a map.

Admissions for primary school places are handled centrally by the Local Authority (Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead). A Common Application Form can be obtained from Admissions on 01628 796782/3/4 or www.rbwm.gov.uk/web.ed.
