Admissions

The Meadows Primary Academy is a two-form entry school. The age range of our children is 3-11 years. Stoke-On-Trent City Council is the Admissions authority for the school. Our school has an agreed admission number of 60 per year group. 

If you would like to apply for a place for your child who is transferring from another school then please contact the school to organise a visit to look around and discuss any special arrangements that may be required for your child.

We follow the Stoke on Trent Admissions Policy for 2023/24, which can be accessed here

Where there are more applications for a place at our school than there are places available, the Council will use the following priorities, in order, to allocate places:

1. Children cared for by a local authority and children who were previously looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order).

2. Children living in the catchment area of the school who have an older brother or sister attending at the time of admission (or at the linked junior school in the case of infant schools).

3. Other children living within the catchment area of the school.

4. Children living outside the catchment area of the school who have an elder brother or sister at the school at the time of admission (or at the linked junior school in the case of infant schools).

5. Children who live nearest to the school as determined by a straight line measurement from the child’s home address point to the main entrance of the school.
