Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you have to make as a parent or carer. We understand that you will want to take time to make an informed decision and will probably have lots of questions to ask. Visits to school are recommended. Please ring the school to arrange a visit (01904 806330) and feel free to contact us with any questions.
Please click here to download our Extra Information Form that we ask parents and carers to fill out to ensure that we can make a fully informed decision regarding your application.
Admissions to Reception
Each academic year, there are places for 20 children in Reception. The Admissions Policy on this page explains more about how making an application works. As well as understanding the process, we realise that parents and children like to visit school, see what we do and get a feel of what it is like to be part of our school family.
You are very welcome to visit us or contact us to ask any questions that you might have. You can contact us on (01904 806330) or email us at: office@heworth.pmat.academy.

Inline with the School Admissions Code 2021, we participate in the City of York Council coordinated admission consultation. The consultation took place between Monday 3 October and Sunday 13 November. The consultation has now closed. During the consultation period, the draft admissions policies, published admission numbers and related documents for Pathfinder Multi Academy Trust’s schools advise how admissions applications and decisions will be made for the 2024 to 2025 school year. Any feedback from the consultation will be considered by the Trust as the Admission Authority.
The admission arrangements for 2024-25 were formally determined by the Pathfinder Multi Academy Trust Board in February 2023. A copy of the admissions policy and supplementary information form for Heworth CE Primary School can be found below:
