School Admissions
Under the Gloucestershire Education Authority policy of a full three year infant course, children are invited to start school in the September of the school year in which their fifth birthday occurs. This will be on a part-time basis in the first instance, usually for about a month. The children will then be invited to stay full-time if the teacher and parents feel that the child is ready.
If you wish for your child or children to attend Callowell School, please contact the school as soon as possible to request an admission form for completion. This form contains details of your name, address, emergency contact numbers, etc. Once we have these details, we are able to pass them to the Local Education Authority, who control admissions. Our standard number of entry to the Reception Year is thirty.

Each year prior to your child entering school, a programme of events is planned so that as new parents, you feel part of your child’s school. The children visit the school for several sessions and we also have an open door policy with respect to Little Learners to ensure they have a happy and seamless start to school life.
