Starting School in September 2026?

Come and see what Binley Woods Primary School can offer your child.

We would like to invite you to have a look around our school where we can talk to you about our provision for children and the experiences and opportunities they have at Binley Woods Primary and of course answer any questions you may have as well.  We hope that this helps you as you make this important decision for your child.   

We hold an open evening in the Autumn term for prospective parents but are more than happy to show you around at other times  - your child is with us for seven years and we believe it is important for you to see the whole school in action.

Please contact the school office to arrange an individual visit with the Headteacher. You are welcome to attend both the open evening and have an individual tour if you wish.  

Please contact the school office if you have any questions or queries.

• Advice and guidance on delaying or deferring your child’s start at school is available with the information on the Compulsory School Age (CSA).
•  

• You need to apply for September 2026 if your child:

•  
• was born between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2022 (for a place in Reception).
•  

• The applications process opens on 1 November 2025 and the deadline for applying for a Reception or Junior place is 15 January 2026. If you apply by this date, you will receive your child's school offer on National Offer Day (16 April 2026).

  Applications made after this date will be classified as late and not considered until after 16 April 2026, by which time many schools will be full and you are much less likely to be offered a place at your preferred school.
