School Admissions
Admissions to the school are dealt with by Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) as the admissions authority. Please click here to view the Admissions Arrangements for our school for 2024/5.
Parents can apply for their child's school place using CBC's online application system or by completing a paper application form (available from the School Admissions team by calling 0300 300 8039 or emailing admissions@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk).
Applications must be received by 15th January 2024 for children due to start school in September 2024. After this date they will be deemed as late applications.
In-year applications are also dealt with by Central Bedfordshire Council. For further information about applying for a school place during the academic year, please click here.
We offer prospective parents the chance to see our pre-school in action before making an application. To arrange a visit, please contact the school office on 01525 713625 or email office@templefield-lower.co.uk.
Parents can register interest in their child attending pre-school at any point by filling in an application form which is available below. This form will be held by the school office until your child is ready to start. We will contact you in the half-term before they are due to start to confirm which sessions they will attend.
If there are more applications to pre-school than places available, the admissions criteria will be applied. For more information, please see the Pre-School Admissions Policy.
Please note that a place at our pre-school does not guarantee children a place in Reception at the school, nor does it give priority over other children who have not attended our pre-school. Applications for a school place must be made in the usual way through School Admissions at Central Bedfordshire Council.
