Admissions Policy
Primary and secondary admissions are accepted on an ongoing basis. If you wish to enrol your child into EYFS, you may apply for a place in the academic term after your child turns 3.
Reception Class Admissions
The admission process for entry into our EYFS class is based:
- A collaborative parent/guardian and child initial interview
- A ‘whole’ child assessment conducted by our admissions team
- A reference from the child’s present school/nursery
We have a whole-hearted, professional approach and offer school places on the basis of building strong home-school partnerships with every family.
Admissions into Primary and Secondary Years
The admissions policy for entry into Primary and Secondary year groups is based on:
- An entrance examination aligned to age-related expectations in core subjects (Literacy and Numeracy at Primary, English, Mathematics and Science at Secondary)
- A written reference from the student’s present school and a pupil interview carried out during the examination procedure
- An interview with prospective student’s parents
Read Academy aims to provide an outstanding educational experience: the hight quality, all-round learning opportunity for pupils.
