ADMISSION AND TRANSFER

All Admissions to St Cyres School are handled by the Vale of Glamorgan Local
Education Authority (LEA).

PRIMARY SCHOOL TRANSFERS AND ADMISSIONS CRITERIA

You can view the Local Authority's arrangements for offering places in Year
7 classes in the admissions section of their website
www.valeofglamorgan.gov.uk and by reading the Parental Guide to School
Admissions.  The guide provides all the relevant information on the
admissions process, including the oversubscription criteria used to offer
places when a school is oversubscribed.  If you do not have internet access,
you may request a hard copy of the guide from the Vale Local Authority.

It is essential that parents submit an application before the published
closing date and confirm their acceptance of a place to the LEA by the
stated date.

All applications are dealt with according to admissions criteria set down by
the National Assembly. All queries should be addressed to Vale of Glamorgan
Council - Contact Tel Number: 01446 709844.

TRANSFER DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR
Should you move into the area at a time other than the beginning of the
school year, St Cyres School has much experience in minimising the
potentially disruptive effect on his/her education. Every effort will be
made to ensure a smooth successful transfer. Applications should be made
through the Vale of Glamorgan Education Authority

VISITING THE SCHOOL
Parents of all prospective pupils are welcome to visit the school to see the
facilities available and talk to staff about the curriculum.

In October an Open Evening is held which affords parents and their children
the opportunity to tour the school and meet pupils and staff.
