Arrangements for the admission of children with a disability

Upon notification of a forthcoming admission of a pupil with disabilities, the school will liaise with parents, the child’s current school or nursery and, where appropriate, external agencies to ensure a smooth transition to our school.

Deferred Entry

A child may start at the School in the academic year in which he/she reaches the age of 5. Where the child has not yet reached statutory school age (5 years old), the child is entitled to a full time place and parents may choose for their child to attend full time. Alternatively parents may choose for their child to attend part time until their child attains compulsory = school age. If parents do not consider their child is ready to start school then they may defer entry altogether to later in the school year but not beyond the point at which the child reaches compulsory school age or not beyond the beginning of the final term in the school year (whichever is the sooner).
