Admissions Policy The governing body of Holy Trinity Voluntary Aided Church of England School is the Admissions Authority for the school and they intend to admit up to 30 pupils to the reception year group in September 2010/11. This arrangement follows consultation between the governing body, the LA, all other schools in the area and all other Admission Authorities in the area. The school is open to receive applications for admissions from the parents of all children. We must give priority to children in the care of the local authority (looked after children) and those with special educational needs whose statement names our school. In the event of the number of applications exceeding the number of places available priority will be given to applications in the order of priority indicated below. Over-subscription Criteria 1.Children of parents worshipping regularly and frequently at the Parish Church of Holy Trinity and St Mary. 2.Children with a brother or sister at the school at the time when they would be admitted to the school. 3.Children of parents worshipping in another Christian Church who wish their child to attend this school because of its Christian foundation 4.Children who live in the Parish of Holy Trinity and St Mary. 5.Children who have special medical needs or other special circumstances, (supported by medical/professional opinion) 6.Other children. Tie Breaker Where there are places available for some but not all applicants within a particular criterion, distance from home to school will be the deciding factor, with preference given to those whose home address is nearest to the school, when measured in a straight line (i.e. the distance between the home front door and the school main door as the crow flies).

Childhood illnesses Children pick up all sorts of infections and it is sometimes hard for parents to know what to do for the best. The BBC health section of their website has information on a comprehensive list of common childhood complaints such as chickenpox, ear infections and headlice. Please let us know if your child is unwell and won't be in school. If children are ill in school time it is important that we can get contact you, please notify the office of any changes in your emergency contact details. |
