FS2, KS1 and KS2 Applications

Leicester City Council Children & Young People’s Services is the admissions authority for FS2, KS1 and KS2 pupils for Evington Valley Primary. The Local Authority will make the final decision whether a place is available or not. Families have the right to appeal against any decision made by the Schools Admissions.

The LA provides a booklet each year with guidance and a timetable for the process.  You can also use the link below. If you wish to enquire about a place in Foundation Stage 2 - Year 6, please ring School Admissions on 0116 4541009 (Option 1)

FS1 Applications

The Governing Body of Evington Valley Primary is the admissions authority for FS1 pupils. The school holds a list of names of pupils whose parents express an interest in their child attending Evington Valley Primary’s FS1 unit.

All three and four year olds are entitled to 15 hours of free nursery education for 38 weeks of the year. This applies until they reach compulsory school age (the term following their fifth birthday).

We encourage parents to express their interest in our FS1 Unit at Evington Valley Primary School as early as possible by registering their child following the child’s second birthday. Please ring the School Office, preferably on a Monday or Tuesday, to speak with the Attendance & Welfare Officer. You will be asked to provide details of your child’s name, date of birth, home address and telephone contact number/s; any additional learning or medical needs.

For children born between 1st September 2021 and 31st August 2022, Evington Valley can offer a free part-time place for 3 hours per day (either morning or afternoon) in Foundation Stage 1 from September 2025.

All children on the school’s waiting list will be emailed an application form and a copy of the Admissions Policy week beginning Monday 13th January 2025.

This may happen at three points during the year.
