All places at Larkspur Community Primary School are allocated in accordance with the Local Authority (LA) admissions policy. Information and the online application process for September 2026 can be found by clicking here. For admissions for the 2026 process, the Gateshead admissions scheme can be found by clicking here. As part of the induction process, parental meetings are held during the summer term for pupils about to enrol for Reception classes. For admission to the Reception class, children will generally attend full days as soon as they start. However, we work on an individual basis and if we feel any children would benefit from a more staggered start we would arrange this with parents or carers. Nursery Admissions: Depending on the availability of places, children who attain the age of three years during the year are admitted at half termly intervals following their third birthday. A preliminary visit will be arranged followed by attendance on a short session time that is extended to full time over a period that meets the needs of the individual child.
