Admissions policy The application process follows three easy steps. Owing to the demand for places at Fulneck School, it is recommended that all pupils register early; pupils will then be added to our waiting list and called for Entrance Assessment. 1. REGISTRATION If you are considering Fulneck School for your child you should complete and return the registration form, together with the registration fee. Where available, we ask that you include a copy of your child’s latest school report with your registration. 2. ENTRANCE ASSESSMENT & TASTER DAY Once you have registered, your child will be invited to spend the day at Fulneck School with his or her year group. Buddies will be allocated to look after your child and guide him or her throughout the day. Younger pupils will join their peers for a few hours for an informal play-based assessment rather than a full taster day. During the day your child will sit an Entrance Assessment. Fulneck School uses this assessment as a guide to a pupil’s ability to ensure that on entry to school the education is tailored to their needs. Younger children will be observed in the classroom environment rather than sit a formal assessment. Children may meet with the Principal or a senior member of staff for an informal interview. We also carefully consider the behaviour record of prospective pupils and when they are transferring from another school, we seek reference from their Head Teacher. 3. OFFER You will be notified as soon as possible regarding an offer of a place for your child. Please note, you are under no obligation to make a decision about your child’s education until an offer of a place has been made. “Overall, pupils at Fulneck School develop into confident, capable, mature and caring young people. This is reflected in the views of parents, the overwhelming majority of whom feel that the school promotes an environment which successfully supports their child’s personal development.” INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS INSPECTORATE 2017 27 26
