Admissions
We are delighted you are interested at a place at Finborough School or Nursery for your child.
Admission to Finborough School depends upon a prospective pupil meeting the criteria required to maintain the educational and general standards for all its pupils commensurate with the ethos to which the school aspires. The school must also feel confident that it will be able to educate and develop the prospective pupil to the best of his or her potential and in line with the general standards achieved by the pupil’s peers, so that there is every chance that the pupil will have a complete, happy and successful career and emerge a confident, well-educated and well-rounded young person with a good prospect of a satisfying life. These criteria must continue to be met throughout the pupil’s time at the school.
The school’s policy is to apply these criteria to all pupils and potential pupils regardless of any disability of which it is aware, subject to its obligation to make reasonable adjustments not to put any disabled pupil or potential pupil at a substantial disadvantage compared with any pupil who is not disadvantaged because of his or her disability.
The school asks parents to provide information concerning any disability or special needs prior to accepting a place. Providing the school with details of the nature and effect of any disability enables it to consider any reasonable adjustments it may need to make.
In assessing any pupil or prospective pupil the school may take such advice and require such assessments as it regards as appropriate. Subject to this, the school will be sensitive to any requests for confidentiality.
In the case of a student with a Statement of Educational Needs the school will first ensure that the appropriate support can be provided and subject to this will ensure that it complies with any conditions expressed within the Statement and will cooperate with and participate in any specified reviews required as part of the Statement.
Parents of disabled children are also offered the opportunity to discuss their child’s needs with the Principal.
Arrangements can be made for discussions between the class teacher and the parents prior to entry in order to establish clear procedures.
Arrangements can be made for discussion with the school prior to entry in order to ensure that the school has the correct medical supplies and any training.
