Pre-Reception and Reception
Entry to the Junior School from the Oak Tree Nursery is automatic. There are places for new children to enter Pre-Reception in the Autumn Term after their third birthday, and for Reception after their fourth birthday. Entry is by assessment, generally made in January/February before proposed entry in September.
Children are seen, when possible, in a group. All children are asked to complete the same tasks and detailed notes are taken both of their approach and the results. Every attempt is made to assess potential rather than current attainment.
Notice is taken of dates of birth, position in family and any disclosed special need.
Entry to Years 1 to 3
Offers are made dependent on there being a vacancy.
For entry to Year 1, aged 5, pupils are assessed in a similar manner to Reception children.
For entry to Years 2 or 3, children have a longer assessment and interview. Children will be asked to do written, numeracy and reading tests. Offers will also be dependent on a satisfactory report from their current school. |
