RECEPTION ADMISSION
Reception pupils are normally admitted to school in the September following their 4th birthday. Parents may apply for a Reception place any time after the child reaches the age of three and will be notified if they have been successful by the local authority. Applications are made through the local authority preferably on line by visiting www.eadmissions.org.uk
Please note: A nursery place at Invicta Primary School is no guarantee of a place in our Reception class.
IN YEAR ADMISSION
Children may enter the school at any other stage provided that there is a space available. This may be at the start of a term or part way through a term. All applications must still be made via the borough.
In-year admissions for the current 2024/25 academic year and planned admissions for entry to the reception class from September 25 are as follows:
First priority will go to children with an education, health and care (EHC) plan naming the school.
After this, if there are more applicants than places available, priority will be given in the following order to:
(1) Looked after children and previously looked after children, including those who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
(2) Children or their immediate family member with a chronic medical or social need for a particular school.
(3) Children who have a sibling (brother or sister) living at the same address who will be attending the school at the time of the child’s admission.
(4) Other children based on home to school distance.
The arrangements have been updated to reflect the mandatory elements of the School Admissions Code 21 in relation to children adopted from abroad.
