First Time Admissions

At Harby C of E Primary School we have a single admission, at the beginning of the Autumn Term, to full-time education for all children whose 4th birthday occurs before 1st September of that academic year. 

Parents and children are welcome to visit school and meet both pupils and staff.  We have an open afternoon every November but welcome visits at other times of the year.  Please contact the school by telephone or email and speak to the Headteacher to arrange an appointment.

As a maintained Leicestershire school we follow the Local Authority Admissions Policy which can be found below:

Considering Applications Made
Leicestershire receive all applications made for first time admission to school and apply their admissions criteria and policy which we follow.  Currently our upper admission limit for each year group is 15 pupils. When the number of requests for places is greater than the number of places available then places will be offered in order of priority as taken from Leicestershire County Council policy.  Please click on the link above to view the full policy.  Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask, and we will be happy to help.

Mid -Term (In Year) School Transfer

Sometimes requests are made for children to start at a different point in their school career.  There may be various different reasons why a child may join a school part way through their primary education - such as moving house.  We welcome children at all stages of their primary career and will work hard to ensure a smooth transition and that they settle in well.  Visits to look around the school and meet staff and pupils are encouraged and can be arranged by telephoning or emailing school and speaking to the Headteacher.  An application form will need to be completed.

Leicestershire will consider all applications, in discussion with the school, using the admissions priority criteria in their policy.  Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask, and we will be happy to help.
