Admission Arrangements
Admissions to the school are decided by the South Area Local Education
The admission limit per year group is 50. In the event of over subscription, the following criteria will be applied, in priority order, to determine which applications will be granted once places have first been allocated to pupils who have a statement of special educational needs which names the school:
1. Children looked after by a local authority
2. Children who live in the catchment area and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school
In the event of over subscription within any criterion, preference will be given to children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies. Distances are measured from the entrance to the child’s home to the principal entrance to the main administrative building of the school.
Applications for admission to year groups, other than the intake year group, will be considered in relation to the published admission limit which applied when the year group was first admitted to the school, subject to infant class size restrictions. If places are available within the year group, applications will be considered in accordance with the above criteria. If places are available, the child will normally be admitted to the school.
Further guidance on the way in which applications are dealt with can be found in the current Nottinghamshire County Council’s “Admissions to Schools” booklet.

Keeping In Touch Events (KITE)
The school runs a series of parent information evenings to help parents keep in touch with current issues linked with school and parenting. For example, an open evening (Meet the Teacher) is arranged at the beginning of each school year so that parents can meet with their child’s class teacher and be informed about the programmes of work for the year. Other topics have included synthetic phonics, residential visits, drugs awareness and sex and relationship education. In addition, there is an annual Family Workshop Evening in February. These sessions focus on a particular aspect of the curriculum. Parents and children are able to see and try some of the work normally done by their child.

Our catering team provide balanced and healthy meals on the school premises with a vegetarian option and provision for special diets. Meals are paid for on-line using the Parent-Pay system. Parents are provided with log-in details and can pay for meals up to a term in advance. Access to the internet can be provided in school if parents do not have access at home. Where meals are paid for but not taken, the amount is credited for the next week. School meals are £1.90 per day, £9.50 per week.

Communication Regular newsletters are sent home to keep parents informed about all our school activities and current issues. We send out copies by e-mail and by pupil post. They are also posted on the school website. Regular newsletters from our Parent Teacher Association are also produced informing parents of forthcoming events. After each meeting of the Governing Body, the minutes are displayed in school.
Children in Key Stage 1 have a Reading Record Book which acts both as a reading record and a message book. This is used by parents and teachers for passing and requesting information or for making comments, particularly about reading. Children in Key Stage 2 have a Communication Check Book which is used by children, parents and teachers to exchange information. Teachers and parents use it to write quick notes to each other. Notes about homework are also made in this book.
