Places still available for September 2025.

Choosing the right school for your child is an exciting decision, and at Brierley Forest Primary and Nursery School we are committed to providing a supportive, nurturing environment where every child can grow, learn, and thrive. With our dedicated staff and a rich, engaging curriculum, we ensure that each child’s educational journey is one filled with opportunities to succeed and reach their full potential.

If you’re considering Brierley Forest as the school for your child, we’d be happy to invite you to visit our setting. We are currently in an exciting period of renovating our whole EYFS building both indoors and outdoors and we would love to invite you to join our journey.

How do I apply for a place?

If your child is due to start school for the first time you will need to complete the admissions process through your home local authority. The application is done online. 

When will my child start school?

Children start school in September of the school year of their fifth birthday.

How many places do you offer?

Our Published Admission Number (PAN) is 60 and this is the number of places the school can admit in Reception. These will form two classes of 30.

PLEASE NOTE

Children do not automatically enter reception from our nursery so you must apply to the Local Authority for a school age place.
