Reception admissions

Published Admission Number (PAN)

Jubilee Park Academy has a Published Admission Number (PAN) of 30. This means that we can admit up to 30 children into each year group.

How to Apply

Children who attend our nursery are not guaranteed automatic admission to Reception. You still need to apply for a place at the school.

Applications for school places in Reception should be made online through the Sandwell school admissions application form. Key information on primary school admissions along with an online application form can be found on the Local Authority’s website.

How places are allocated

The local authority allocates school places. Should the number of applicants exceed the number of places available, places will be allocated according to the school's admission criteria as outlined in the admission policy, considering factors like proximity to the school, siblings, and Special Educational Needs.
