Starting
School
When does your child start
The current policy allows for a single
intake in September, which enables reception age pupils to be
admitted to school full time in the September following their
fourth birthday.
What to do first
Parents are advised to notify the Headteacher of their local
primary school well in advance that they have a child approaching
school age. If you have not already done this you should do so
without delay. These details will be forwarded to the school
admissions section in the LA at the appropriate time, who will
ensure you receive an application for admission to Reception
class. Application forms are now available for
September 2012 entry.
Applying for your chosen school
Admissions to primary schools will
normally be granted provided a schools standard number or statutory
class size limit, where applicable, will not be exceeded. Where the
number of applications for admission to a school exceeds the number
of places available, i.e. where a standard number has been reached,
places will be allocated applying recognised admissions criteria.
Please see our Parental
Guide to School Admissions for further information.
Where parents knowingly give
false information in order to obtain the advantage of a particular
school for their child to which they would not otherwise be
entitled, the council reserves the right to withdraw the offer of a
place. Parents may render themselves guilty of an offence under
Section 5(b) of the Perjury Act 1911.
