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 for 2025-26.

The Trust is proposing to amend the current admission criterion giving priority to children who have a sibling at the school at the date of admission, to remove the requirement for families of siblings to live within 800 metres of the school. Our hope is that this change will support our families, keep siblings together, and make our admissions policy easier to understand. Our consultation closed on 31st January 2024. The Trust board will consider all responses before making a decision by the end of February.

You can download our consultation document for full details of the proposed change.

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 in early January before the closing date for Reception 2024 admissions. 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.

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.

If you do not wish to be considered for the English stream class, you need to indicate this on the supplementary form.

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.

Admissions consultations

We are not currently consultating on any changes to our admissions arrangements. We consulted with members of our community in 2019-20 on a proposed change to enable children of staff members to join the school from September 2021.
