Admission Procedures

Parents should approach the Headteacher or the School Administrative Staff for a school application form.
 
Our maximum admission number into Foundation classes for September 2008 is 70.
If we have fewer requests for places than our limit, then a place will be offered to each child. If we are over-subscribed, places are offered in accordance with our admission criteria, as stated in the admissions policy.
 
Children start with us part time from the beginning of the school year in which they are five. We encourage parents who are interested in sending their children to this school to visit us beforehand. This is by far the best way for parents to learn about our school and how we work.

 
Admissions Policy 2008/2009

The school will eventually provide for a total of not more than 490 children. The number of places available in the reception year 2008 / 2009 will be a maximum of 70.

The Governors will not place any restriction on admissions for any one academic year unless the number of children for whom admission is sought is likely to exceed this number.

In that event the Governors will admit by use of the following criteria which are listed in priority order:

1. Children in Public Care.

2. Children with a statement of Special Educational Needs who have been identified by the Local Authority as requiring Targeted Individual Support at Level 2.

3. Children whose older brothers or sisters attend the school and who will still be there at the time of admission.

4. Where there are more children in one particular criterion than the numbers of places available, places will be allocated to the children who live nearest to the school. The distance will be measured in a straight line from the child’s home address to a central point at the school using the LA’s Geographical Information System (GIS) based on Ordnance Survey.
