How to Apply

Barton Park Primary School is currently a 1 form entry school, which means that we have an intake of 30 in each year group. We have combined year group classes (of 15 in each) within our KS2 year groups.

We have a maximum of 30 children in KS1. This class size is limited by infant class size legislation: (4.1 School Admissions (Infant Class Sizes) (England) Regulations 2012). 

For a place in our Reception Class, families need to apply to the local authority for a school place, so that their children can start school in September, after their 4th birthday.
