The planned admission limit in Reception is 15 children. Places are allocated by West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) in accordance with the criteria set out in their booklet 'Applying for a Primary Place in Northamptonshire' .
All applications must be placed directly with Northamptonshire County Council. For further information on applying for a school place, please see the West and North Northamptonshire Council website.

Curriculum
‘A curriculum exists to change the pupil; to give the pupil new power’ (Christine Counsell). At Yardley we aim to empower children by developing emotional, academic and physical skills.
Our curriculum is based on the National Curriculum which has been adapted and built upon so it is bespoke to our school community. It addresses the values we wish to instill and empowers children to gain knowledge and skills for lifelong learning.

Sports Funding
Sport Premium Funding, also known as Olympic Legacy Funding for Physical Education and School is provided by the government. The DfE are spending over £450 million on improving physical education (P.E) and sport in Primary Schools. This substantial sum is going directly to schools who will decide what is best for their children's needs with the aim of improving the quality of provision in every state primary school in England.
100% of the year 6 cohort can do each of the following:
- swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
- use a range of strokes effectively
- perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations
