Applying for a Place in our Reception Class

September 2027

Please follow the link below and log into Cardiff Council's Primary School Admissions Portal. 

Applications for Reception 2027 open on MONDAY 16TH NOVEMBER 2026.

You will be asked to list schools in order of preference.

Placing Bishop Childs at the top of your list will improve your chances of being awarded a place.

There is no requirement to provide a faith reference, but if you wish to do so, please send it directly to the school (see link below).

In-Year Admissions

If you want to apply to move your child from another school to Bishop Childs, please send the application form directly to our school.  Do not use Cardiff Council's Admissions Portal. 

This is because we are a faith school, with our own admissions procedures.

You do not need to provide a reference from your faith leader.

However, if you are able to do so, it will support your application. 

Please ask the relevant person at your place of worship to complete the form below and

return it to the school. 

This document will be considered by our governors alongside your application form.
