With an online application you will receive an email confirming submission of your application and the ability to view your application and results online at a later date. Please remember to submit your application after completing. If you can’t apply online you can request a paper Primary Application Form by calling 01904 551554.
The deadline for submitting ‘on-time’ applications for a place in Reception starting in September 2025 is the 15th January 2026. Applications can still be made after this date, but may be looked at after other applications have been considered. Please note that applying early does not give any priority, although to have the best chance of your application being successful you should complete and submit your application by the deadline.
At Clifton Green Primary School, we have Nursery children within our Early Years Unit, where we offer both 15-hour and 30-hour places. Our Nursery provision provides a nurturing and stimulating environment that supports each child’s early learning and development, helping them to grow in confidence and curiosity as they begin their educational journey.
If you would like your child to join our nursery please complete the google form below to express interest and a member of our team will be in touch.
If you are moving into the area or you feel your child needs to move schools for some other reason, you should contact the Local Authority’s admission team.

This year’s Admissions Consultation is being jointly held by admissions authorities in the City of York between 7th October and 18th November 2024. The consultation includes the admission policies and planned number of places available at each school in the year(s) of entry 2026-2027.
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 tohttps://www.york.gov.uk/SchoolAdmissions2026To2027 and complete the appropriate survey online.
Any comments received regarding a Multi Academy Trust policy or PAN change will be forwarded to the relevant Trust, who are their own admission authority, to consider within their own admission consultation. Please be aware that if there are no proposed changes an admission authority may not be holding a consultation.
Following the consultations, each admission authority will formally set (‘determine’) their admission arrangements for admission in 2026 – 2027 by 28 February 2025. Determined policies will be on the City of York Council website by 15 March 2025 after which objections can be raised.
If you require a paper copy of any document, you can request this from education@york.gov.ukor 01904 551554.
