Consultation on the admissions policy for Beeston Fields Flying High Academy
Welcome to our Admissions page.
We are so pleased you are looking to join us
On this page there is lots of information and guidance about the application process. Moving or starting school is often exciting but can be a daunting process for both children and parents, we will work with you to make the process as smooth and happy as possible. Our office team is very knowledgeable about the admission process so if there is a question you cannot find the answer to here please do call us.
We plan a range of open mornings and other opportunities to visit aligned to application deadlines for Reception and Nursery places. However, we welcome visits throughout the year, especially to any families who are moving or considering moving schools. Visits offer parents a one-on-one conversation with a member of SLT as well as the opportunity to see our active, happy school during the day. Please contact the school office on 0115 8440100 to book.
