General School Admissions

Published Admission Number (PAN) of 30.

Thank you for considering Lillington for your child’s education. The reception team in Bevan class look forward to welcoming you to our exciting school.

Reception 2025 – For families who have children starting school in September 2025 please reserve a place on one of our remaining open afternoons – Friday 15 November or Thursday 5 December at 3.30pm until 4.00pm. Please click this booking link to reserve a prospective parent tour – Reception September 2025.

Parents must apply for a place at Lillington Nursery and Primary School through Warwickshire County Council. If you live within our school’s priority area you have more chance of your child being offered a place at our school. Living within the priority area, however, does not guarantee an offer of a place at our school as there may be more applicants living within the priority area than the number of places available.

Places will be offered according to the admissions criteria, including the meeting of application deadlines. 

Late applications will be considered after all those received on-time.

When can my child start school?

In Warwickshire children may enter the Reception class at Infant or Primary School the September after their fourth birthday. The law says all children must start school (Year 1) by the beginning of the term after their fifth birthday. If a child attends an Infant School, they will transfer to a Junior/Primary School in the September following their seventh birthday.
