RECEPTION ADMISSIONS
Applications for entry in to Reception Class should be made online at www.gateshead.gov.uk.schooladmissions a year prior to your child's 5th Birthday. Interested parents and families are invited to attend planned open mornings prior to the deadline for admissions which will provide you with an opportunity to see our wonderful school in full swing and to ask any questions you may have. We maintain a 'registration of interest' to give us an indication of admissions numbers each year; if you wish to register your interest in a school place, or indeed have any other questions or queries regarding the admissions process, please just get in touch – we’ll be more than happy to help.
RECEPTION ADMISSIONS SEPTEMBER 2019 OPEN DAY
We will be holding an open day for prospective parents for September 2019 intake on Wednesday 3rd October (9:30-10:30am or 1:30-2:30pm). As you will now be considering the next step in your child’s education journey, we would like to share with you what a wonderfully special community we are at St Mary’s; the open day will afford you the opportunity to spend some time in the school during a normal school day, to hear a little bit about our school ethos and vision, to observe some lessons and meet some of our pupils, and to ask any questions you may have about the admissions process before applying for your child’s school place.
On the day, there will be a morning and afternoon session each comprising a short presentation about the school, a tour and dedicated time to ask any questions you may have about the admissions process; in order that we may have some idea of numbers for each session, I would ask that you contact us by phone or email to make us aware of your preferred slot. You are more than welcome to bring along your young one to have a look around the school if you wish, and the session should last no more than around an hour.
IN-YEAR ADMISSIONS
For pupils moving schools, whether inside the borough or not, we ask parents to contact the school to arrange a visit. We maintain waiting lists for all our classes, and will be able to advise whether there are spaces available for your child. If you wish your child to be recorded on our waiting lists, please contact Mrs Noble, School Business Manager, who will be happy to assist you with this.
Warm Regards,
Mr J Wheatley
Headteacher
