Starting primary school

 

The children of Nutkins Pre-School enter into many different primary schools. When a child "visits" their new school, the manager goes on the visit with them to help with the link with the school. The closest schools are listed below; there are close links with the schools, and involvement in liaison groups. This involves teachers visiting Nutkins to see children in an educational setting, also discussion with teachers on the children to enter their class; and close links with the schools' Special Educational Co-ordinator on any particular issues. A School transfer document is completed for each child and the parent reads and comments on it before it is submitted to school, a copy is given to the parent along with a folder of the child's "work" and a small photo album of their time spent at Nutkins.

 

Primary school admission

 

Starting School

 

The academic year is September to July. In the October prior to the year of eligibility and admission online is required.

 

You are required to list 3 schools in the order of your preference having hopefully visited them to assist your selection. In the following March/April you will hear from the authorities the decision of the school allocated.

Register even if you already have an older child at school - you will still have to apply in the normal way for a place for the younger child.
