Admissions

Admissions Information

We are a non-selective Church of England Primary School, with a distinctly Christian school ethos. Places are allocated through Leeds School Admissions and we encourage all families to apply. Families do not need to attend Church to attend our school and we welcome children of all faiths and non-faith to join our inclusive school community.

Starting School In Reception
 
By law children must start school from the beginning of the school term after their fifth birthday. In Leeds children normally start school at the beginning of the academic year in which they have their fifth birthday. 
 
How to apply
Reception children must apply online by going on to the Leeds City Council website https://www.leeds.gov.uk/schools-and-education/school-admissions/apply-for-a-primary-school

Prospective Parents of children starting Reception September 2026

We will be holding 'Open Day' sessions in September during the school day which will have a limit on numbers and we will also hold an 'Open Evening' for everyone to attend after school. Please do check the website for updates in September so that you can book onto the tours.


Prospective Parents of children starting in Years 1-6
Please apply through the Leeds Admission process. Please also contact our school Office as sometimes children can be placed on a waiting list who no longer require a place and this may mean a new place cannot be offered through admissions. 

School appeals and waiting lists:

If you have not been offered a place at the school you have requested you can appeal against the refusal.

St Margaret's appeals are arranged by Leeds City Council's Admissions team, please download the Admission appeal form from the documents section on the Leeds City Council webpage https://www.leeds.gov.uk/schools-and-education/school-admissions/school-appeals and return it to the Admissions team at the address which is on the form.

Admissions to the BASE Resource Provision

Prospective parents for the BASE need to apply through SENSAP to apply for a place. This is done through the statutory EHCP process. SENSAP consult with the Resource Provision as a named setting which is different to the mainstream admissions. You should email all enquiries regarding this to sensap@leeds.gov.uk

If you wish to transfer school you need to apply via Leeds City Council website -  https://www.leeds.gov.uk/schools-and-education/school-admissions/moving-schools

You can also telephone out school to ask if we do have a place. 

If we are able to offer you a place, you will receive a letter confirming this.
