People in all sorts of economic, family and cultural circumstances have children at Dame Catherine’s and all make a different contribution to the life and support of the school.
Children of all abilities are welcome and Dame Catherine’s accepts children into the school without reference to race, culture, class, gender or disability.
Children who come to Dame Catherine’s with particular learning or behavioural difficulties will find that each individual is treated on their own merits. The children and parents in that particular child’s class will be informed of relevant strategies and the progress of the child will be regularly reviewed by staff.
Children are admitted to Dame Catherine’s on:
A part time basis, at the beginning of the term during which they reach four and a half, or
A full time basis at the beginning of the term in which they reach five.
The school is flexible and, depending on the child’s maturity and individual needs during the year in which they reach their fifth birthday, transition from part-time to full-time attendance can be negotiated. As we are a primary school, children can stay until the end of the school year in which they reach their eleventh birthday.
In the event of the school being over subscribed, priority will be given to children in the following order:
