The Coordinated Admission Consultation for admissions in 2027 – 2028 opens on Wednesday 8th October 2025.
This year's Admissions Consultation is being held by City of York Council and some MATs operating within the city between 8th October and 21st November 2025. Multi Academy Trusts may also be conducting their own consultation during the consultation period. The Coordinated Admission Consultation includes the admission policies and planned number of places available at each school in the year(s) of entry.
All documents can be found in their draft (pre-determined) form at School Admissions Consultation 2027 to 2028 – City of York Council during the consultation period.
Responses are being collated by an online survey, schools, trusts, parents/carers and any interested parties may all contribute to the Admission Consultation. If you wish to contribute you are invited to go to School Admissions Consultation 2027 to 2028 – City of York Council and complete the appropriate survey online.
Following the consultations, each admission authority will formally set ('determine') their admission arrangements for admission in 2027 - 2028 by 28 February 2026. Determined policies will be on the City of York Council website by 15 March 2026 after which objections can be raised.
All documents can be found in their draft (pre-determined) form at School Admissions Consultation 2027 to 2028 – City of York Council Determined policies for the 2024-25 and 2025 - 2026 can be found at https://www.york.gov.uk/SchoolAdmissionPolicies

If you are interested in your child/children joining Westfield Primary Community School, we would be more than happy to arrange a show around. Please ring the School Office on 01904 555295 to organise a convenient date and time.
We do not offer one set day but prefer to offer individual appointments enabling families to ask questions specific to their child and to see our school in action.

ADMISSIONS TO OUR RECEPTION
Starting Reception in September 2026?
If your child was born between 1st September 2021 and 31st August 2022, it is time to start thinking about applying for their school place! Please note, if your child is nursery-aged and already attends Westfield’s Nursery, you do still need to apply for a full-time place in Reception.
We will be holding a number of visits when you will have an opportunity to visit our Early Years Foundation Stage, meet our staff, and ask any questions you may have about becoming part of the Westfield family.
Online applications for Reception places in September 2025 have now opened at www.york.gov.uk/schooladmissions. Please note that applying early does not give any priority, so you still have plenty of time to come and visit us before you make your application, although, to have the best chance of your application being successful, you should complete and submit your application by the deadline which is the 15th January 2026.
