Community and Voluntary controlled primary schools admissions policy 2021

Last updated: 13 October 2021

Introduction

All applications must be made in accordance with the Buckinghamshire coordinated admissions scheme.

All governing bodies are required by section 324 of the Education Act 1996 to admit to the school a child with an Education, Health and Care Plan that names the school. These children will therefore be admitted prior to applying the admission rules

Once a child is allocated a reception place under the scheme the school will offer a full time place in September 2021.

If there are more applications received than the places available at a school then the places will be allocated within the scheme in accordance with the published admission rules for the school.

Details of the dates for timely applications and how late applications are handled are given in the scheme.

Where a child is admitted to a school’s Foundation 1, (nursery or pre-school provision) there can be no guarantee of a place in the main school as the coordinated admissions scheme is used to decide who should be admitted to the main school.
