Admissions Policy
1 Introduction
1.1 The governing body of Noor Ul Islam Primary School applies its admissions policy fairly and equally to all those who wish to attend this school.2 Aims and objectives
2.1 We are an inclusive school that welcomes children from all backgrounds and abilities.2.2 All applications will be treated on merit and in a sensitive manner. Parents are invited to a meeting and may be offered if successful. Parents are invited to the meeting when places become available. They are invited in a strict order of where they appear on the admissions list.
2.3 Points are awarded based on whether the child: attended the Noor Ul Islam Pre-School, whether the child has brother(s)/ sister(s) currently attending the Primary School, when their application form was submitted, where they live, and if either parents is a member of staff / school governor or Noor Ul Islam Trust. Additional points are also awarded based on the responses given to personal questions on the form. In order to ensure pupils profiles are similar, questions about home life are asked. Information on parents' expectations of the school, Islam in the home and potential parental involvement in the school are also requested. This enables us to ensure that pupils of a background in line with the ethos of the school have a better chance of attending the school.
3 How parents can apply for their child to be admitted to our school
3.1 Parent must fill in an admission form when they wish for there child to start school. This form can only be completed once the child reaches 3 years old.3.3 Children enter school in the academic year they become five years old. There is one admissions date per year, early in September (i.e. at the start of the school year). Therefore, parents who would like their child to be admitted to this school during the year their child is five should ensure that they complete the necessary application form by 15th February of that year.
4 Admission appeals
4.1 If we do not offer a child a place at this school, it is because to do so would prejudice the education of other children by allowing the numbers of children in the school to increase above a manageable amount (see 5.1)4.2 If parents wish to appeal against a decision to refuse entry, they can do so it they feel the policy has not been implemented.. They should write to the Board of Governors who will assess the appeal and possibly arrange an independent panel to consider it. However the Board of Governors decision is final in this matter.
4.3 Appeals can be made if it is felt that the admission policy has not been applied fairly.
5 Class size
5.1 We teach children (aged five to eleven) in classes that have a maximum number of 30 children. Most classes however will have a smaller maximum number due to physical constraints.6 Review
6.1 This policy will be reviewed annually by the Board of Governors in the light of any changed circumstances in our school or the local area.
