Admissions

We accept names for the Nursery class registration list from their second birthday, but we can never guarantee a place, even then.  The children will be taken into the nursery, strictly in the order their names were put on the waiting list.  The children are admitted to the nursery between the ages of 3 and 3 ½. Parents/carers will be notified when a place is available for their child.

Pupils are admitted into the infant school when they are ‘rising 5’ years of age.  They are admitted either in the September or the January depending on their date of birth.  Those born between the 1st September and the end of February, start in the reception class in September, those born between 1st March and 31st August start in January.

A parent can find out the catchment area of a particular school by making a visit to it or by visiting the Education offices.  For placement into the school a parent should contact the Headteacher when the child is about two years of age or as soon as possible afterwards, and register his/her name for admission.

Uniforms

All children are encouraged to follow the school dress code.

• Grey/navy skirt, trousers or tunic.
• Navy sweatshirt, cardigan or jumper
• White poloshirts.

In the summer:

• Girls may choose to wear a blue/white checked dress.
• Black/navy or grey shorts.

Jewellery such as rings, bracelets, necklaces etc. should not be worn to school and if children’s ears have been pierced only stud type ear-rings should be worn. This is an essential safety precaution.
