Join the Belleville Wix Community

Welcome to Belleville Wix Academy. We are a successful, vibrant & inclusive primary school which shares a special, bi-cultural community with École de Wix. We have a class taught in English and a bilingual class taught in English and French in each year group from Reception to Year 6 and a Nursery taught in English.

We were judged Ofsted 'Good' in October 2019 with an 'Outstanding' Early Years provision. Children are happy and successful here, and achieve well beyond the national average.

Belleville Wix Academy is part of the Quality First Education Trust. Together, we have a reputation for leading the way in educational development and a relentless drive for improvement, excellence and equality, delivering a quality first education to all the children in our care. Deciding which school to send your child to is a very important decision. We welcome children from all parts of our local community and are ready and experienced to help your child settle in quickly, whether they join us in Nursery, Reception or in Years 1 – 6.

School Tours

We encourage parents/carers to visit our wonderful school before applying. We are offering three small group tours during the summer term. If you would like to attend, please visit our school tour page to sign up for a place.

How to apply

Belleville Wix Academy follows the agreed Wandsworth Borough Council procedures for admissions for Reception and Years 1 to 6. Applications for Nursery places are made directly to Belleville Wix Academy.

Please visit the Wandsworth website for more information, or contact them by email at admissions@wandsworth.gov.uk or by telephone on 020 8871 6000.

Bilingual stream applications

If you are interested in a place in the bilingual (French/English) stream, you will need to complete a supplementary information form when applying through Wandsworth Council. You can download the supplementary information form here. All applicants who are not offered a place in the bilingual stream through Wandsworth Council will be considered for the English stream classes. If you do not wish to be considered for the English stream class, you need to indicate this on the supplementary form.

Applications from other boroughs

Belleville Wix Academy is very close to the borough boundary with Lambeth. If you live in Lambeth and would like to attend our school, you will need to apply for a place through the Lambeth Council website or you can email them at schooladmissions@lambeth.gov.uk

I didn’t get a place, how can I appeal?

If your child is refused a place at a school, you can appeal against the decision. We subscribe to Wandsworth Borough Council's admissions appeals service, which manages appeals on our behalf. Please visit Wandsworth Borough Council's school admission appeals webpage for the contact details of the appeals service, guidance notes, the appeal form and the current appeals timetable. You can also refer to information about appeals published by the government.

PROPOSED CHANGE TO ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS FOR 2025-26

The Quality First Education (Q1E) Trust recently consulted on a proposed change to the admission arrangements for Belleville Wix Academy, to remove the requirement for families of siblings to live within 800 metres of the school. The consultation closed in January 2024 and the trust board considered all responses. The Trust has now made this change, for reception entry in September 2025 and beyond. Our hope is that this change will support our families, keep siblings together, and make our admissions policy easier to understand.

You can download our consultation document for full details of the proposal that was adopted.
