Children are admitted to Reception in accordance with the policy of North Yorkshire Council. Visits to the school are welcome. Please contact the school office.
Reception
All Reception aged children will join the school from September.
As a community school, North Yorkshire's Education Department deals with applications for Reception admissions. Providing that you live within North Yorkshire, have registered with a local doctor, you should automatically receive information about the admission process. North Yorkshire Council prefer on-line applications and the school office can help with this if necessary.
Telephone 01609 533679 or go to www.northyorks.gov.uk/admissions
If you are not offered a place at Water Street by North Yorkshire Council, you are able to appeal this decision. Please contact the North Yorkshire Admissions Team on the above number or email address. Further information can be accessed by clicking the link below:

Visits to our school are warmly welcomed and we have an open week for prospective families in late October/early November each year. Visits to school are welcomed at other times too, please speak to the school office or email: admin@waterstreetschool.org.uk
Induction
Once we know your child has been offered a place a Water Street, you will receive a letter inviting parents to an introductory evening. This is arranged during the term before your child starts nursery/reception so we can welcome parents and children to our school and explain our induction programme.
Our induction programme consists of an information meeting to which we invite new parents and visits for new children to meet their teacher, see their new classroom and experience some of the activities they will enjoy when they join our school. An induction pack is given to parents at this meeting.
