Reception Admissions 2025-2026
You can find the admissions arrangements for our school for 2025-2026 here. (For the Appendix, click on the defined catchment area map here. Please note this catchment area only refers to point 4 of our oversubscription criteria as we are the designated school for Netherne-on-the-Hill. The school does not have an overall set catchment area. Being surrounded by fields on 3 sides, our pupils come from a wider area than many schools in busy town and city centres. We have pupils from Woodmansterne, Banstead, Coulsdon, Purley, Sutton, Wallington, Carshalton and surrounding areas).
Bourne Education Trust is the admissions authority for this school although Surrey County Council co-ordinates the admissions for this school. As we are so close to the borders with Sutton and Croydon, we have many families from these boroughs attending our school. All London boroughs and Surrey use eadmissions online application method, including for late applications. Each local authority has its own application form.
The closing date for applications is 15 January 2025

Admissions 2026-2027 - consultation 25/11/24 to 22/01/24
Consultation: Bourne Education Trust school admissions arrangements for 2026/27
School: Woodmansterne Primary School
Introduction
Woodmansterne Primary School (the school) is a primary school in Bourne Education Trust (BET / the Trust). Bourne Education Trust delegates its role as the admissions authority for Woodmansterne Primary School, along with the task of determining the school’s admissions arrangements, to the school’s Local Governing Committee (LGC) in line with the Trust’s scheme of delegation.
Consultation for Woodmansterne Primary School Admissions Arrangements 2026/27
The school is consulting to amend its admissions arrangements with effect from the 2026/27 academic year to include more detail under the Admission of children outside their normal age group section.
Currently, the Trust has a separate policy for the education of children outside of their chronological year group. This is published on the Bourne Education Trust website here.
The inclusion of this information within individual school admissions arrangements from 2026/27 aims to provide more clarity on the process for parents who may wish to consider an application for accelerated or decelerated entry to school. The intention is then to withdraw the separate Trust policy from 31st August 2026.
In summary, the additional information provides clarity on:
- Where parents can find guidance from the Department for Education and Surrey County Council in relation to summer born children and the education of children outside of their chronological year group
- How parents can apply for accelerated entry to school for their child (ie. to start earlier than other children in their chronological age group)
- How parents can apply for decelerated entry to school for their child (ie. to start later than other children in their chronological age group)
- Details of who to contact at the school, and where to send supporting evidence, when making an application for accelerated or decelerated entry
Please note:
The nursery provision within Woodmansterne Primary School has a separate admissions policy and is not included within this consultation.
Deadline for responses:
The consultation begins on Monday 25 November 2024 and runs for six weeks, with a closing date of Wednesday 22 January 2025. Please provide any comments on the consultation by email to school@wps.org.uk.
