Admissions Policy 2008/2009
Admission to Reception class is managed by the Local Authority.
You will be sent an admission booklet detailing the procedure for getting a school place for your child and you will need to return the completed forms by the required date.
For a community or voluntary controlled school the order of priority for admission is:-
1st Priority Category:
(a) Pupils who are in receipt of a Statement of Special Educational Needs (in accordance with the 1996 Education Act) where the Authority has named a particular school as necessary to meet the pupil’sneeds.
(b) Pupils who are in public care (looked after children).
2nd Priority Category:
Pupils who have a brother or sister (or step-brother or stepsister living in the same household) attending the school, or its associated junior school, at the time of admission.
Parents should be aware that a sibling link cannot be claimed where a sibling in receipt of a Statement of Special Educational Needs is attending in a resourced unit within a mainstream primary school.
3rd Priority Category:
Proximity of the child’s home to school, as measured by the shortest walking route, wherever possible on lit and metalled roads. Measurements will be made from the centre point of the dwelling to the main entrance of the school.
NOTE
Where a pupil lives with parents with shared responsibility each part of a week, parents must state which is the predominant address together with details. Oversubscription criteria will be considered on the basis of the predominant address and parental preference.
