Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this important process.
It is important that parents keep the headteacher informed when they are considering changing schools, as we have a duty to inform the Authority of any child that we believe has left our school and has not provided any information on their destination and education provision. If we are unable to establish your child’s new school, we would have to refer them as a missing child to the Children Missing From Education Officer. As a result, your child’s name may be kept on a missing register and efforts will be made to trace them. It is also important to know about a new school so that we can send on your child’s records.
If you wish to attend our school, you will need to apply to the Local Authority by the due date.
