Parents, on showing an interest to have their child/children join the school, are asked to complete the LEA lilac Preference Form. The authority is kept informed of numbers of preferences for each year group and if not enough places are available the LEA will administer their admission policy and inform parents of any appeals procedure if required. The school has no jurisdiction over which pupils enter D'Eyncourt.
The admission limit for all year groups is 45. Parents are encouraged to visit our school to ensure they are happy with how we work on a daily basis.
Once admitted to D’Eyncourt Primary School your child will receive a broad balanced and relevant curriculum which is intended to meet his/her needs. The Authority and the School’s Governing Body operate to assist the school in this crucial role. However, legislation provides for you, as a parent/guardian, to formally register a complaint if you feel that either the Authority or the Governing Body is failing the school, and thereby your child's education.
The right to complain is limited specifically to aspects relating to the National Curriculum and Religious Education and Worship. It is hoped that any concerns that you have will be of a minor nature and can be resolved informally with the Headteacher of the School.
1. Informal discussion with the Headteacher or other staff.
2. Formal complaint to the Governing Body submitted in writing through the clerk to the Governing Body or the Director of Education.
3. Formal complaint to the LEA in writing to the Director of Education.
This procedure does not cover complaints about teachers, discipline or admissions.
In all cases the first step is to see the Headteacher for an informal
discussion of any problem.
The following documents may be seen and where possible copies taken, in school, upon request to the Headteacher:
The LEA Statement of
Curriculum Policy.
DES statutory instruments, circulars and administrative memoranda.
Any published H.M.I. reports which refer to the school.
Current guidelines/schemes of work.
The LEA's agreed syllabus for R.E.
PANDA Information 2009/10 confirms
Authorised absence - 4.2%
Unauthorised absence - 0.2%
This information on this web site is correct at the time of entry 2007 - 2008, but it is possibe that changes may be made before or after the school year starts.
We ask parents for their support in ensuring pupils attend school on a regular basis. We encourage holidays not to be taken during term time. A letter for holidays during term time is signed by the Head Teacher stating whether or not the absence can be authorised or not. These measures help us to work towards our annual attendance target. We regularly monitor attendance and if a child’s attendance falls below 80% we will write to parents to notify them of this and of the next steps to be taken.
The Policy is available to parents if required.
