Admissions

At Northlands Primary School we believe that if we can offer appropriate support and a full entitlement to the curriculum, every child in our community who wishes to attend our school should have the opportunity to do so.  We aim to provide education from Reception to Year 6 enabling a smooth transition through every year group.

 

The standard admission number of the school is 30, which is a legal maximum for classes in EYS and KS1.  In KS2 we offer 30 children in each class and can offer no more than 30 unless at the discretion of the head teacher dependent on the needs and wellbeing of the cohort and applicant.

Parents apply for school places online at Warwickshire County Council Admissions, admissions@warwickshire.gov.uk or by ringing 01926 414143.

Time of admission relates to the time the applicant would start at the school not the time of application or offer.

1. Looked after children and all previously looked after children, including those children who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.

2. Children who are currently, or have been at any point since birth, subject to a Child in Need Plan or a Child Protection Plan, with no more than 9% of the places available to be allocated under this category.

3. Children living in the Priority Area, who will have a sibling attending the same school at the time of admission in September.

4. Other children living in the Priority Area.

5. Children living outside the Priority Area, who will have a sibling attending the same school at the time of admission in September.

6. Other children living outside the Priority Area

Within each criterion priority is given in order of distance between the child’s home and school (shortest distance = highest priority).  Distance will be calculated by straight-line measurement from the address point location coordinate of the applicant’s home address as set by the ordnance survey to the centre point (centroid) of the school in question.  The centroid is a predetermined point set by WCC and all distances are subject to changes which may occur with update of mapping data.
