DETAILS OF THE RESPECTIVE FUNCTIONS OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS AND THE PRINCIPAL IN RELATION TO ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL

 

Should the number of applications exceed the school admissions or enrolment number the use of the following criteria has been delegated to the Principal by the Board of Governors.

 

ADMISSIONS CRITERIA TO BE USED IN THE EVENT OF THE SCHOOL BEING OVERSUBSCRIBED. THE CRITERIA ARE LISTED IN ORDER OF PRIORITY.

During the admissions procedure when applying the criteria punctual applications will be considered before late applications are considered. The application procedure opens on 7 January 2021 at 12noon (GMT) and an application submitted by the closing date of 29 January 2021 at 12noon (GMT) will be treated as a punctual application. An application received after 12noon (GMT) on 29 January 2021 will be treated as a late application.

6. The oldest child as defined by the date of birth recorded on their birth certificate.
7. The child whose name is first in terms of alphabetical order. This will be assessed by first letter of surname followed by second, third letters etc. If surnames are the same, then the first forenames will be used in the same manner starting with the first letter.

*Distances will be measured as a straight line on an Ordnance Survey map.

**A child’s home address will be taken as the address at which they normally live on the date of the written application.

ADMISSIONS TO P2-P7

 

Pupils will be admitted to P2-P7 provided their admission does not lead to the enrolment or admissions number being exceeded. The same admissions criteria will be applied as for admission to P1.

 

When considering which children should be selected for admission, the Board of Governors will only take into account information which is detailed on the application or provided directly to the school. Parents should therefore ensure that all information pertaining to their child and relevant to the school’s admissions criteria is stated on the application or provided directly to the school.

 

DUTY TO VERIFY

Applicants should note that they may be required to produce documents verifying their home address.

 

WAITING LISTS
