Admissions
Parents who are considering sending their children to the school are welcome to visit the school beforehand by arrangement with the Headteacher. It is helpful in assisting with future planning if parents register the name of prospective pupils at the school as early as possible.
All Reception class children are admitted within the first few weeks of the Autumn term of the school year in which they become five.
The number of children to be admitted is agreed between the Governing Body and the Education Authority. Our intake limit has been set at thirty-five children. If applications exceed more than thirty-five the following selection criteria apply: -
- Children with older brothers or sisters in school at the date of admission.
- Geographical nearness to school.
Parents of children allocated a place will be informed, in writing, approximately three months before the date of admission. Parents who are unsuccessful in gaining a place because the school is oversubscribed may appeal to the Local Education Authority for admission. The Headteacher will advise parents on the procedure to follow.
It is required by the Education Authority that parents registering their child do so in person and that a Birth Certificate must be produced in order to verify the child's age before the child is admitted.
Parents can download and complete the admissions form and send it in to school with a signature. Please do not e-mail your application. Thank you.
