Admission Arrangements

Parents considering applying to the school for the admission of children should contact the Head Teacher, in the first instance, who will arrange a visit.  Applications then need to be made through the Local Authority.

Children born between 1st September and 31st August, in the year they turn 5, will be admitted at the start of the Autumn Term in September.

In the event of over-subscription, the following criteria will be applied in priority order:

1. Children in public care.
2. Applicants who live in the catchment area at the time of admission have a brother or sister attending the school.
3. Other children who live in the catchment area.
4. Applicants who live outside the catchment but who, at the time of admission will have a brother or sister attending the school.  Preference will be given to applicants who live nearest to the school by the shortest distance as the crow flies.
5. Consideration will be given to applicants who live outside the designated catchment area where parents are involved with either St Mary's Church, Cuckney, or St. Winifred's Church, Holbeck. Supporting information from the appropriate minister will be required. Preference will be given to applicants who live nearest the school by the shortest distance as the crow flies.
6. Places will then be given to other applicants who live outside the catchment area. Preference will first be given to applicants who live nearest to the school, as the crow flies.
7. Consideration will be given to applicants who can establish particular medical, special educational need or social grounds relating to their child with supporting written evidence from a doctor, social worker, or other relevant professional. Each case will be determined by the Director of Education according to the merits of the case in consultation with the chair and vice chair of governors. Following consultation, the Director of Education may agree in particular cases to accord a higher priority to an individual. All decisions will be reported to the Governing Body as soon as possible.

The school's Pupil Admission Number (PAN) is usually 20.
