Admissions Consultation 2020/21

Following discussion with SDBE, the Board of Governors is proposing a change to the admissions arrangements from the 2020-21 academic year to prioritise up to 3 places for children entitled to free school meals on the basis of family income. The Board of Governors is required to consult with a wide range of stakeholders before any change to the current admissions policy is determined. Further details of the proposed change can be found in the attached consultation document below:

Nursery Class Applicants

We have an Ecumenical Nursery which is between two schools: All Saints' CE School and Our Lady of Victories RC Primary School.  The All Saints' Ecumenical Nursery is based at All Saints' School and the Governing Body is responsible for admission to the class.  The Governing Body has agreed to allocate 18 places to children of Roman Catholic families and 34 places to children of Church of England families.  Children are eligible for the Nursery class from the school year (1st September – 31st August) after their third birthday. Places will be allocated according to the criteria set out in the All Saints' Ecumenical Nursery Admissions Policy. Acceptance into the Nursery does not guarantee a place in the Reception Class. The cut off date for applications to the Nursery Class to be received at the school is Friday 8th February 2019. If you have a late application, please contact the school directly.
