Admissions
WFPS welcomes children to join us both at the start of their school life (the academic year in which they turn five) and as a transfer from another school either at the beginning of an academic year or at any point during an academic year.
All admissions must be made through: West Northamptonshire County Council (www.westnorthants.gov.uk)
ADMISSIONS
The governors of Weston Favell CE Primary School are the Admissions Authority for our school, the policy is reviewed annually and ensures that we not only support Christian families, but families in our local community too.
Reception applications are made on the WNCC website by parents and our admission panel are responsible for applying our admission criteria to the applications. The places are offered by the Local Authority. If you are a family who attends church, please ensure you collect a form from school which you complete, informing us of the church you attend The form should be returned to the School, we then contact your worship leader or rector to verify your application.
In-year applications must also be made through the WNCC website and places are allocated according to our school admission policy if vacancies exist in the required year.

Appeals
The Governing Body of a Weston Favell Primary School is the Admission Authority for the school and is therefore responsible for all admissions. If a year group is oversubscribed – that is, there are more applications than places available – the governing body will apply the admissions criteria from the Admissions Policy, allocating places up to their Published Admission Number. Parents/guardians of those refused places are then entitled to appeal against the Governing Body’s decision.
We use the Diocesan Appeals Service for admissions appeals and all appeals will take place on Zoom.
