Admissions

We are delighted that you are considering Livingstone Road Primary Federation for your child. We understand that choosing the right school is a very considered and important decision.

The admissions process differs according to the stage your child is at on their educational journey. We have information for children starting in Year R to Year 2 and Year 3 to Year 6.

Although our admission applications are processed for us by BCP council, we are happy to support the admissions process and do all we can to help you discover if our Federation is right for your child.

How to apply

Before making an application to join Livingstone Road Infant School or Livingstone Road Junior School, we encourage you to contact us and arrange to visit the school. It is a great opportunity to find out more about Livingstone Road Primary Federation, our values and ethos, tour our facilities and meet our teaching staff.

To request a tour of a school or for any other admissions query, please contact the school office on 01202 806806 or get in touch here.

We look forward to meeting you and explaining how we can be part of your child’s educational journey.
