First Admissions 2025
Applications are accepted from 4th November 2024 – 15th January 2025 for first admission (Reception) and transfer from infant to junior/primary education.
You will be notified on 16 April 2025 if you have been given a school place.
Waiting lists
Parents whose children have not been offered a place at a school in the normal admissions round will be added to the school’s waiting list unless they have been offered a place at a higher preference school. The list will remain open until the end of the academic application year. If a parent wishes their child to remain on the waiting list, they must re-apply each academic year. The local authority manages the waiting list for Blessed Robert Widmerpool Catholic Voluntary Academy.
In-year applications
An application can be made for a place for a child at any time outside the admission round and the child will be admitted where there are available places. An application should be made to Nottingham City Council by completing the LA Common Application Form (opens in new tab) and following the instructions on the LA website.
