Admission to our school

CONSULTATION - 2011 INTAKE

As a Church of England voluntary aided Primary School our Governing Body determines our Admissions Policy.

We are currently consulting on our admissions policy for the September 2011 start.  If you would like to take part in the consultation, full details on how to do so and a copy of our proposed policy (including our supplementary information  form) can be downloaded from the following links:

CURRENT ARRANGEMENTS

The admissions policy for entry into school is determined by the Governing Body, taking into account Bradford Local Authority (LA) policy and advice from the Bradford Ripon and Leeds Diocesan Education Team.  The policy is reviewed annually by the Governing Body.

In the event that demand for places exceeds the school admission number of 30 (one form entry school), the admission policy would be applied. A booklet containing all the information related to schools across the district, as well as our own policy, is supplied to all parents in the Autumn term prior to admission the following year.

At our school, parents are currently entitled to full-time attendance for their Reception year child from the September of the academic year in which the child is 5. An induction period at the beginning of the Autumn term involves a period of part-time attendance for some of the children.

In the Summer term preceding admission, a series of induction visits are arranged to enable children to become familiar with school ready for the September start. This includes a meeting for parents where many of your questions / concerns can be discussed.

This year, we will be introducing home visits so that our Reception staff can gather vital information about your child to ensure a smooth transition into Reception class.
