Admission Arrangements

Our Infant school admits many pupils from the feeder setting of Ormesby Village Pre-School and endeavours to ensure the transition between the two establishments is as smooth and as reassuring as possible for the pupils and parents. There are regular transition meetings about children, training is shared and both settings work hard to provide the strongest educational beginnings possible for the youngest of children.

Our school has a Pupil Admission Number (PAN) of 30 per year group.

In the event of over-subscription for pupils in any of the year groups, preference will be given to children living nearest to the school according to the following criteria:- 

1. Children with an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP)/Statement of Special Educational Needs naming that school
2. Children in public care who are due to start school and live in the area served by the school
3. Children who are due to start school, living in the area served by the school who have a brother or sister attending the school at the time of their admission
4. Children who are due to start school, living in the area served by the school who have a brother or sister attending the adjoining junior school
5. Children who are due to start school, living in the area served by the school with no brother or sister at that school or adjoining junior school
6. Children who are due to start school, living outside the area served by the school who have a brother or sister attending the school at the time of their admission
7. Children who are due to start school, living outside the area served by the school who have a brother or sister attending the adjoining junior school at the time of their admission
8. Children who are due to start school, living outside the area served by the school who have no brother or sister at that school or the adjoining junior school

Parents who wish their children to be admitted to Ormesby Village Infant School must submit their application to the LEA by 31st December of the year prior to admission. The LEA inform parents of the school their child will attend by April of the year of admission. All parents have a right of appeal if their child is not admitted to the school of their choice. First admission brochures and forms are delivered to schools, pre-schools and nurseries in the autumn term.
