At Clifton Green we treasure our young learners and provide them with a host of opportunities to thrive in our nurturing environment; developing a love of learning, personal growth and skills for life.
We would love for you to visit and discover if our school and all we have to offer is the perfect place for your child to begin their educational journey. We are hosting a series of Open Evenings especially for families with children who are starting school in September 2025 where we will show you around our Early Years provision, tell you more about our wonderful school and answer any questions you may have.
You are invited into school:
Admissions to reception are dealt with by the City of York Council. The deadline for applications is the 15th of January 2025. Applicants will be advised of their allocated school from ‘National Offer Day’, which is Wednesday the 16th of April 2025.
For further information on the Local Authority’s admissions policy, read the document below or contact them directly using the details at the bottom of the page.
We have a 78-place nursery (39 in the morning and 39 in the afternoon) and provide up to 30 hours of education for nursery-aged children.
Please note that catchment areas do not apply for nursery admissions and that children are ranked in age order, oldest first, with some children, e.g. a child with a special educational need, being given priority.
If you would like your child to join our nursery please contact us and a member of our team will be in touch.
If you are moving into the area or you feel your child needs to move schools for some other reason, you should contact the Local Authority’s admission team.

This year’s Admissions Consultation is being jointly held by admissions authorities in the City of York between 7th October and 18th November 2024. The consultation includes the admission policies and planned number of places available at each school in the year(s) of entry 2026-2027.
All documents can be found in their draft (pre-determined) form at https://www.york.gov.uk/SchoolAdmissions2026To2027 during the consultation period.
Responses are being collated by an online survey, schools, trusts, parents/carers and any interested parties may all contribute to the Admission Consultation. If you wish to contribute you are invited to go to https://www.york.gov.uk/SchoolAdmissions2026To2027 and complete the appropriate survey online.
Any comments received regarding a Multi Academy Trust policy or PAN change will be forwarded to the relevant Trust, who are their own admission authority, to consider within their own admission consultation. Please be aware that if there are no proposed changes an admission authority may not be holding a consultation.
Following the consultations, each admission authority will formally set (‘determine’) their admission arrangements for admission in 2026 – 2027 by 28 February 2025. Determined policies will be on the City of York Council website by 15 March 2025 after which objections can be raised.
If you require a paper copy of any document, you can request this from education@york.gov.uk or 01904 551554.
