Rufford Park Primary is an open and friendly school in the heart of Yeadon where staff and parents work together to ensure that every child in our care:
· is happy, safe and has fun growing up
· achieves at all levels of learning and acquires skills for life
· is an active citizen who has a ‘voice’ and can influence
· enjoys a healthy lifestyle
Our school caters for children aged 3-11. We have a 52 place Nursery and we have 45 Reception class spaces for September 2021.
Parents and carers have until 31 October to submit their applications for their child’s secondary school place (year 7) for September 2021.
Families are advised to use all five of their preferences to give their child the best chance of being allocated a place at a preferred school as using less doesn’t increase the chances of being offered your first preference.
The simple and secure application form can be completed online at www.leeds.gov.uk/apply.
Families will also find a range of information on the website to help them choose their five preferences, including advice on the application process, links to individual admissions policies and Ofsted reports, information about school transport, as well as allocation data from previous years to help families decide if there is a reasonable chance of being offered a place at the schools they are listing.
The Leeds school admissions team is also holding a final Facebook question and answer session on Wednesday 28 October. Visit www.facebook.com/leedscouncil between 4pm and 5pm on the day and submit your question in the dedicated post, or send a private message to the Facebook page.
There are other options for those without access to online facilities and these can be discussed with the admissions team by calling 0113 222 4414.
For those applying using our online portal, offers will be sent out by email on Monday 1 March 2021 during working hours. For those that apply by any other means, letter will be posted on 1 March, so will arrive later that week.
