YSGOL PEN Y BRYN FOUNDATION SCHOOL

 

 

 

The number of intended admissions in any age group will be 58.

 

 

The school is to serve principally those children resident in Upper Colwyn Bay and also those living within a three mile radius of the school (see Map).  Children in the 3 to 11 age group will be admitted without reference to ability or aptitude.

 

 

All applications for Nursery places should be received by December 1 in the year prior to the child’s third birthday.

 

All applications for the Reception Class should be received by December 1 in the year prior to the child’s fourth birthday.

 

All other applications should be received by 31 May in each year.

 

 

Where applications for admission exceed the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied in order set out below, to decide which children to admit:-

 

a)                  Where the child has a brother or sister currently attending the school

 

 

The school cannot automatically promise a place to siblings of children who live at some distance from the school.  In the event that there is a shortage of places priority will be given to siblings of children who live in closer proximity to the school.

 

b)         Proximity of the child’s home to the school, with those living the nearer being accorded the higher priority.

 

            (Proximity of the home in relation to school is defined as the measurement of a straight line from the front door of the home to the front door of the school).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any child transferring to Ysgol Pen y Bryn during the Academic Year will be placed in the smallest class appropriate for his/her year.  The situation will be reviewed at the end of the academic year when the child may be moved to the correct group for his/her age.

 

 

Parents have the right of appeal against a decision not to admit a child.  Parents wishing to exercise their right of appeal should write to the Chairman of Governors at the school giving their reasons for their appeal within 14 days of being notified of a refusal of a place.

 

Further information on Admissions or appeals is available from the school office.

 

Should you wish your child to enrol at the school then please make an appointment to see the Headteacher.  Opportunities will also be made for parents and members of the public to see the school in action on our Open Day, which is held annually during the Autumn term.
