Forest of Galtres Anglican Methodist Primary School

Admissions

Admissions to the school are managed by North Yorkshire Council in line with the School Admissions Code and Fair Access Protocols. This applies to places when children would normally start school (the Reception year) and to children who may join the school after this time (for example, as the result of a house move).

Our PAN (Published Admission Number), which is the maximum number the school may admit to a single year group, is 30.

School Visits

If you would like to visit our school, please contact us through the school office as we offer personal visits rather than group sessions for new families. This means that families can ask questions that may be specific to their child, and we can cover aspects of the school in more detail than in a more formal session.

We also have a number of events for families across the year which are open to the wider community, such as our Macmillan Coffee Morning.
