Admissions

St Joseph's VA Catholic Primary Academy is its own Admission Authority.

The Trust have appointed an Admissions Sub-Committee who meet whenever there are vacancies in the school to consider all applications for the available places.  This includes all Reception and any Junior (Year 3 places) we have each September and also any In-Year requests where we are oversubscribed and have a waiting list.  

There are 2 stages to your application as follows:-

1.  COMPLETE THE KIRKLEES ONLINE FORM before the deadline of 15th January which can be found via this link:-  https://www.kirklees.gov.uk/beta/admissions/apply-primary-school-place.aspx During the process you will be asked to select 3 schools in order of preference.  

Once you have completed your application you will receive a confirmation email from Kirklees Pupil Admissions.  If you do not receive this confirmation please log on and make sure you have completed and confirmed your application.  

2.  COMPLETE A SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION FORM (below).  Without this the Governors will not be able to award you the relevant criteria according to our Admissions Policy.  

You will be notified on 16th/17th April which school your child has been awarded.  Good luck !
