Things to know before you apply for September 2027

  • Less predictable The distance cut-off has moved a lot from year to year (between 478 m and 954 m, or 0.30 and 0.59 miles). Treat past cut-offs here with extra caution.
  • There are 60 Reception places for September 2027. The yearly figures on this page are for the English stream (30 places in 2026).
  • The distance cut-off shrank from 664 m (0.41 miles) in 2025 to 478 m (0.30 miles) in 2026.
  • Two Reception classes: a bilingual (French/English) class and an English-only class.
  • To be considered for the bilingual class you must also send the school's supplementary information form by the deadline; children not offered a bilingual place are considered for the English class unless the form says otherwise.
  • The 2027-28 policy and booklet give 60 (30 bilingual, 30 English).
  • Sibling priority only counts a sibling on roll at Belleville Wix Academy in Years R-6 (not nursery, not Belleville Primary).
  • The 2027 policy also gives priority to children of staff (after siblings, before distance).
  • The headteacher may move a child between the two classes.

Questions about Belleville Wix Academy

How far away do you need to live to get into Belleville Wix Academy?

In 2026, the last place offered under the distance criterion went to a child living 478 m (0.30 miles) away. In the five years with a distance cut-off (2022 to 2026), it ranged from 478 m (0.30 miles) (2026) to 954 m (0.59 miles) (2023). Cut-offs move each year with the number of applicants and siblings, so treat these as a guide to past years, not a promise.

Do siblings get priority at Belleville Wix Academy?

Yes. Under the 2026 admission rules, children with a brother or sister at the school get priority after looked-after and previously looked-after children, ahead of children admitted on distance. In 2026, 12 of the 30 English stream places went to siblings. Check the school’s admission arrangements for who counts as a sibling.

How many applications does Belleville Wix Academy get?

In 2026, Belleville Wix Academy received 199 applications for the whole school (every class), counting all six preferences. It has 60 Reception places for September 2027. Families name several schools, so one child can count as an application at more than one school.

What are my chances of getting into Belleville Wix Academy?

It depends mostly on how far away you live, unless you have a sibling at Belleville Wix Academy or another priority. For a family applying on distance: living within 478 m (0.30 miles) would have got a place in all five years we have figures for, and living more than 954 m (0.59 miles) away, in none of them. This is what happened in past years, not a promise. Our Shortlist replays your own address against each year.

Is Belleville Wix Academy oversubscribed?

Yes, in 2026 places ran out: the last place under the distance criterion went to a child living 478 m (0.30 miles) away.

Is Belleville Wix Academy’s catchment getting smaller?

Belleville Wix Academy has no fixed catchment area: places on distance go to the families living closest, so the cut-off moves each year. The distance cut-off shrank from 664 m (0.41 miles) in 2025 to 478 m (0.30 miles) in 2026. It depends on how many families apply and how many places go to siblings, so one year’s change doesn’t say what happens next.

What was Belleville Wix Academy’s latest Ofsted inspection result?

At an ungraded inspection that ended on 12 February 2025, Ofsted found evidence that the school’s work may have improved significantly since its previous inspection. Its next inspection will be graded. Its last graded inspection, on 30 October 2019, gave an overall judgement of Good. From Ofsted’s data as at 30 September 2026. The full report is on Ofsted’s website.
