  • Pele Trust Admissions Policy (For 2021-22)
    Pele Trust Admissions Policy (for 2021-22) Admissions Procedure - How and when to apply The standard admission points for Pele Trust schools are entry to the primary phase in the Reception year and entry to the secondary phase in Year 7. These places are allocated for the start of the academic year in September. Northumberland residents should apply through Northumberland County Council’s admissions online portal; Newcastle residents should apply for places through Newcastle City Council’s admissions system. The deadline for secondary place applications is 31 October in the year prior to admission. For reception places the deadline for applications is 15 January in the year of admission. Applications received after these dates will be classed as late applications and will be processed after all of the applications received on time. Applications for places in other year groups, or after the start of the academic year, can be made at any time. These are referred to as in-year transfers. Primary schools also offer nursery places. Parents and carers should note that the allocation of Reception places does not take into account attendance at any specific nursery class or school. Children in the nursery class of the school will not be given priority nor are they guaranteed a Reception place in the main school. Admission of children outside their normal year group Parents may request that their child is admitted outside their normal age group if they feel their child is not ready to start school with their peers. Requests must be submitted in writing to the Headteacher of the school and include any supporting evidence from relevant professionals.
