​We are a 2-form entry school in Years 4 - 6, which means in these year groups we have 60 children across two classes. In Reception, Year 1, 2 and 3 we are a 1-form entry school, with 30 children in each class.  
​

Where there are more than 30 children applying for places in Reception we apply the local authority 'oversubscription criteria' which gives priority to children in the following order:

​1. Children currently (or previously) 'looked after' by the local authority (e.g. children in foster care or adopted).
​2. Children with a statement of Special Needs or an EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) where George Dixon Primary School is the named school.
​3. Children who will have siblings already at George Dixon Primary School.
​4. Distance from the school (measured in a straight line).
​​
In-Year Admission Arrangements:

​If you would like a child to join us after Reception has started or in any other year group, this is called an 'In-Year' admission. You will need to fill in an  'Application for a Change of School (In Year)' form, which is available at the school office.
If there is a waiting list for the year group that you are applying to, the same oversubscription criteria listed above is applied.
