How do I apply for a place at Brunswick School?

Apply through the council where you live by 15 January for a Reception place starting that September. Children start Reception in the September after their fourth birthday. You can usually list between 3 and 6 schools in order of preference, and offers are sent on 16 April, or the next working day. A place in its nursery class does not carry on into Reception, so you still need to apply.

Where do children go after Year 2 at Brunswick School?

Brunswick School is an infant school, so children move to a junior school, or a primary school with room, for Year 3. You apply through the council where you live by 15 January in Year 2.

Does living near Brunswick School guarantee a place?

No. Distance only counts when Brunswick School has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by the local authority, Westmorland and Furness, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
