Admission to School

First admissions will be as follows: For admission into each school year Trowell C of E Primary will provide for admission of all children in the September following their fourth birthday. Parents can request that the date their child is admitted to the school is deferred until later in the a school year or until the child reaches compulsory school age in that year. Parents may also request that their child attends part time until the child reaches compulsory school age. These admission arrangements constitute admission into school prior to compulsory school age and our policy is subject to parents’ statutory right to defer their child’s admission to compulsory school age.
