Children born between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020 are due to start school in September 2024.

You must apply for a school place through the local authority in which you live. 

For most families wishing for their child/children to attend Lawnside Academy, that will be Central Bedfordshire Council.

Central Bedfordshire's application period started in September 2023. There are two ways to apply for a school place: online or by filling out a paper application form.

For full information visit Central Bedfordshire Council's school admissions website.

The closing date for on-time applications was Monday 15 January 2024. Families will find out which school their child/children have been allocated on national offer day which is Tuesday 16 April 2024.

If you have not yet applied for a school place, the deadline for late applications is Wednesday 1 May 2024.
