All applications throughout the academic year for this school must be made through London Borough of Newham’s Pupil Services, not the school. Use the link below to complete the online In-Year School Admission Application Form:

Nursery Admissions:
At North Beckton Primary School we offer a 15-hour government-funded placement. Children can receive 15 hours of free early education per week, 38 weeks per year (570 hours across the year).
We also offer a 30-hour extended placement at North Beckton. Please click on this link to find out further: https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/
You must apply a term ahead to reserve a 30-hour place for next term. If you submit a successful application, you will be issued with a 30-hour code to give to your approved childcare provider. 30 hours funding will only be available from the term after the start date of your 30-hour code.
If you would like to place your child on our waiting list, please come into the school office. Children can be put on the nursery waiting list from the age of two and, depending on availability of places, will usually start the term after their 3rd birthday.
When a place becomes available for your child, you will be invited to a parents' meeting where you will be given a welcome pack and have a chance to meet the staff and look around the nursery. We will then invite you and your child to come in for a taster session in the nursery, and you will then be given a start date.
During your child’s first week in nursery, they have a slightly shorter session to allow them time to settle. Each child is different, and our nursery staff will be flexible to each individual child’s needs.
Please remember that the allocation of a nursery place does not guarantee a school place and this has to be applied for separately through Pupils Services (details below)
