Children who are on the Child Abuse ‘at risk’ register.
Children who are, or are likely to be the subject of a statement of Special Educational Needs under the 1981 Education Act.
Children whose families are experiencing severe social and psychological stress, leading to significant impairment in the child’s development.

Children with education health and care plans (EHCP)

If your child has an education health and care plan (EHCP) your child's school place will be arranged by the local authority's SEND assessment service (SENDAS). You should not complete the online admissions form.

If you have any queries, speak to your special educational needs co-ordinator at school, or view school admissions for children with special educational needs.

Non-Derbyshire residents should contact their home council.

Normal area / local area school

We advise you to include your child's normal area school / local area school as one of your preferences, but it does not have to be your first choice.

If you do not include the normal area school as one of your preferences, then a place may not be available there if your other requests cannot be agreed.

Admission Documents - These are the documents that are given to new families with children who are preparing to start school. For any new child we will need the the admission package returned to school before the child attends.

Each year we give every child an Admission update document to ensure we have all the information updated and we have all permissions updated.

These documents can all be printed off by the school at your request. Thank you
