Admissions

Welcome to Chandlers Field Primary Academy. We look forward to welcoming you to our lovely school.  For more information on how to apply for a place in either Nursery, Reception or an In Year Admission please see full details of our admission arrangements below.

Please see our Admissions Policies here.

Reception

All children need to apply for a Reception place regardless of previous pre-school education. Offers of Reception places are sent directly by the local authority. Once you have confirmed your acceptance of the offer to the Local Authority, your details will be forwarded to the school. You will then be informed by the school as to your child’s starting date. Your child will have the opportunity to visit the school prior to starting.

For Reception places, please apply via the the local authority website, please click on the link below:

Applying to start Reception

Starting Nursery

The earliest that a child can be considered to start at Chandlers Field Primary Academy is at the beginning of the term after their third birthday. Your child’s date of birth will determine the maximum amount of time that they can spend in nursery before starting primary school. Children are eligible to start primary school in the academic year after they turn four years of age. Many nurseries will fill up in the Autumn term. Therefore, if your child is eligible to start nursery in the Spring term, there will be no guarantee that places will be available. Your child may have to wait until the Autumn term to be considered for a vacancy.

Nursery 2026/2027

Nursery parents and carers should apply directly to the school for places in our Nursery for September 2026.  The deadline for receipt of applications is 15th January 2026 at 3.00pm. Applications received after this time will be deemed late and considered after all on time applications.

After 15th January 2026, if you wish to submit a late application as outlined above, please email cdfoffice@leoacademytrust.co.uk to request the link to a late nursery application form for the academic year 2026/2027.
