The board is now inviting applications from parents who wish to enrol their children at Inglewood Primary School starting within Term 1 2025.

The board has determined that 20 places from Year 1-6 are likely to be available for out-of-zone students within Term 1 2025. The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone. Parents of students who live within the home zone and intend enrolling their child at any time during the year should notify the school to assist the school to plan appropriately.

The application form for enrolment is available from the school website, or from the school office.

Please note, that if the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held,
