Admissions

Overview

A warm welcome and thank you for your interest in enrolling your child at our primary school.

At Grange Junior School, we aim to provide your child with a broad and balanced education, fulfilling their needs in a stimulating and caring environment.

On this page, you can find information about how to apply for a place, in-year admissions, open events, and what to expect for your child’s first days at the school.

How to Apply

Swindon Borough Council is responsible for admissions at this school.

For more information about admissions, including policies visit the Swindon Council website.

Currently, our published admission number (PAN) is 90 in each year group. Children who want to join our school in year 3 must submit an application, which will then be processed by the local authority admissions team.

New Starters - Preparing for a New School

To get your child ready for school and their new environment, you could:

• Allow your child to become familiar with the school by walking past it. If you visit the school for any reason, bring your child along with you.
• Encourage your child to try to dress and undress themselves without help.
• Get them to use a knife and fork when eating at home.
• Encourage them to independently use the toilet and wash their hands.
• Encourage them to be apart from you for short periods of time, such as with relatives and neighbours and at playgroup.
• Talk to them, listen to them, and play with them.
• Read and share books together.
• Sing number and nursery rhymes.
