Foundation Stage Unit Admissions

When considering Foundation Stage Unit admissions we will aim to:

1. Maintain a balanced Foundation Stage Unit in terms of age (3 and 4 year olds), boys and girls in both morning and afternoon sessions.

2. Ensure that all Foundation Stage Unit places are fully allocated at any one time.

3. Ensure that children of a similar age are admitted together.

ADMISSION CRITERIA

1. Places are allocated in date of birth order to those children who:-

a. live in the catchment area.

b. live outside the catchment area but who, at the time of admission, will have a brother

or sister in the Primary School

2. Places will then be allocated to children who live outside the catchment area but live within the nearest, safest walking distance to the school.

3. Consideration will then be given to applications who can establish particular medical, special educational need or social grounds relating to their child with supporting evidence from a doctor, social worker or other relevant professional.

ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS

1. Parents may apply for a place after the child’s second birthday.

2. Places will be allocated termly and parents will usually be informed during the term before a place is available. There may be times when a place becomes available unexpectedly and then shorter notice will be given.

3. Places will be offered, if available, to children who move into the catchment area if it will mean at least one full term in the Foundation Stage Unit before the child starts school.

4. Once admitted into the Foundation Stage Unit children must attend for 5 sessions each week (unless they are ill).
