ADMISSIONS
at The Winterton Federation
There are two different types of admissions – those to start school at the ‘normal’ time for the start of the Reception year, and those for places in other year groups or at any other time – these are called ‘in-year’ applications for school places. In-year applications are made, for example, when a child is already attending one school and the parent/carers wish to move their child from one school to another, and when a family moves to a different area and needs a new school place for their child(ren).
The admission authority for our school is the North Lincolnshire Council and admissions applications are co-ordinated by the Council.
If you would like to visit either school when considering making an application, please contact us to arrange a visit.
Applications to start our school for the first time, for the start of Reception year should be made direct to the Local Authority in which you live by the deadline for applications. Late applications will be considered after those submitted by the deadline, often when there are no places available so it is important that you apply on-time.
There is no supplementary information form when applying for a place at our school.
Applications for ‘in-year’ school places are made through the local authority’s co-ordinated admissions scheme for in-year applications, and should be made direct to the Local Authority no earlier than one term before the place is required, and it is recommended that you apply no later than a period of twenty school days, that is four weeks in term time, before you wish for the place to be available for your child. Proof of residence may be required before places can be allocated, and the school fully adheres to the North Lincolnshire Fair Access Protocol. Applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application as soon as is possible, though this is commonly ten school days after an application has been received, but may be later in certain circumstances.
If you live in North Lincolnshire Council area, then you can find more information about ‘in-year’ admissions processes, and details of the co-ordinated admissions scheme on the North Lincolnshire website, where you can also find and download an application form along with details of how to appeal for a school place where you have been refused. If you live outside the North Lincolnshire, you should apply to your ‘home’ Local Authority and not North Lincolnshire Council.
The admissions authority for the school is the Council, who make admissions decisions based on information provided by the school such as the capacity of the class/year group and the number of pupils already on roll.
