Class Placements

When a child comes to school as a five year old, he/she will be placed in the current New Entrant/Year 1 class. Prior to starting school it is usual for each child to complete two pre school visits. At the beginning of each year there is usually two New Entrant classes accepting children and a new class is opened up once the original two are filled.

At the commencement of each year for Year 2 and above, we take care to ensure that each class has an even spread of gender, ability and attainment. During the year additional enrolments can be a steady stream. Where these new children are placed depends on class sizes and on the needs of the pupil.
