Admission of Pupils
Children will commence life in Carlyle School in one of our Foundation Stage classes. We have 2 part-time classes, children attending for either 5 mornings or 5 afternoons. Children will become eligible for a part-time place during the term after their third birthday and are admitted as places become available.
The governors are concerned to provide a stable and secure environment for children attending part-time classes and also to be fair to the many children who have to be turned down completely. Places MUST be properly used, i.e. five days a week, with regular, punctual attendance.
Children will become eligible for a full-time place in the September after their 4th birthday. Applications for full-time places are dealt with by Derby City Council Admission Section. Parents will need to complete a Common Application Form that will be obtainable from the school, health centres, nurseries or Derby City Council Admissions Section, Middleton House, 27 St. Mary’s Gate, Derby. DE1 3NN. This will be available from October 2009 and needs to be returned directly to the LA by December 2009. You will be invited to put down two schools in order of preference.
During the term preceding admission a meeting is arranged for parents only. You will receive a letter giving details of this meeting. There will also be an opportunity for children to visit.
