ADMISSION PROCEDURE

Parents who are interested in their child(ren) attending Newfield Schools can collect an Admission Pack from the School Office. Alternatively, parents may download an Admission Form from our website and send it to us with the required supporting documents. These include the following:

Birth Certificate or current Passport
Up-to-date Immunisation Certificate
Latest Report from current school for children joining in Year 1 upwards
Prospective parents collecting an Admission Pack will do so for a non-refundable fee of =N=10,000. Inside the pack they will find an Admission Form and a Medical Contract Form which must be completed and returned to the School, either in person or electronically. When this is returned, a file is opened for the prospective pupil and all actions in respect of this admission are logged and dated on our school management system. Deciding on the right school for one’s child is very important and we believe that a personal visit is invaluable. Prospective pupils are invited to visit the School with their parents so that they can view the facilities, meet the Head of School and the other relevant staff. Children are offered places in the School based on:
Results of an educational assessment visit
Reference to the latest reports from the current school attended
Where places are oversubscribed, priority is given on the following basis:

Prospective pupil with siblings who are already pupils in the Primary school

Date of submission of admission forms

Pupils should normally be the correct age for the year group, based on 1st September cut off with a pupil expecting to attain the age of ten in his/her last primary school year.

Children born after the 1st September will be put into the year Group below, so they go through as the oldest in their year, rather than the youngest.

Prior to an offer being made parents or guardians must declare any specific learning support requirement, medical condition or disability so that we can ensure we can meet the pupil’s individual needs.
