Cardiff's Local Authority is responsible for applying the regulations on admissions
fairly and equally to all those who wish to attend our school.

We are an inclusive school that welcomes children from all backgrounds and abilities,
regardless of gender, race, faith, sexual orientation, language or disability.

The only restriction we place on entry is that of number. Our standard admission
number is 56, with a maximum of 30 children in each class.

PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION TO RECEPTION CLASSES

Children are admitted to reception classes in the September following their fourth
birthday.

 The Local Authority will send a preference form during the Autumn term and
admission arrangements will be advised towards the end of the Spring term.

 A meeting for new parents/carers will be held in the Summer term and details
regarding a starting date will be given after this time.

PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION TO OTHER YEAR GROUPS

 Parents should contact Pupil Admissions at the Local Authority in the first
instance.

 If there is room in the appropriate year group; parents/carers will be invited to
visit the school in order to make admission arrangements.

If admissions are over-subscribed and we cannot offer a place, parents/carers may
appeal to the Local Authority.

TRANSFER TO HIGH SCHOOL

Children move to Secondary School in the September following their eleventh birthday.
The school to which the majority of our pupils transfer is Willows High, dependent on
where they live. Admission to Willows High School will be authorised by the Local
Authority. Parents will be given information during the terms leading up to the transfer
and may apply to other secondary schools in Cardiff. Advice about this is given at the

time. It is the parents' responsibility to secure a place for their child at a high school
and we would strongly advise you to complete all the necessary paperwork promptly and
meet the set deadlines.
