On the 16th April, our local community of families with EYFS children will be finding out which school their child will be attending in September 2020.

 

This is a happy time for some families if they have secured a school place for their child in the school they wished for. However, it is a rather sad time for others - if families have not been successful in getting into the school they had applied and hoped for their child. 

 

I ask that our school community is mindful of this when we are on social media over the coming days and weeks.

 

Great Binfields Primary School has to, like all other schools in England, follow a strict Admissions Policy that we adopt from our Local Authorities - in our case, Hampshire Local Authority. We have a set pan number - which means 60 children can enter each year group.

 

If your family has been unsuccessful in securing your first choice place for your child at our school, Hampshire Local Authority will offer you either your second or third choice school. If you wish to appeal Hampshire's decision, they will signpost you to the Appeals Process which can be found on the Hampshire Admissions Website. You can of course, go on our school's waiting list - details will be given to you when you are notified on the 16th April.

 

If you have been successful in securing a school place for your child at our school then please follow the link below:

We will be contacting you soon with further information about future transition activities as well as give you a wealth of information about our school. We look forward to warmly welcoming your child into our friendly school community.
