Admissions
Epsom Primary School is central to its community and enjoys the support of families living throughout Epsom & Ewell.
As an LEA (Local Education Authority) Community School, we adhere to Surrey County Council’s admissions criteria, which are as follows:
| All Surrey schools will operate an Equal Preference System and give parents the opportunity to state 3 ranked school preferences. |
| The majority of Surrey’s Community and Voluntary Controlled schools will use the following criteria when a school is oversubscribed:
NB: Home to School measurements: For the majority of Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools, in the event of any category being oversubscribed, home to school distance will be measured by a straight line from the address point of the pupil’s house, as set by Ordnance Survey to the nearest school gate for pupils to use. NB: Waiting Lists: For all Community and Voluntary Controlled schools waiting lists will be held for the period of one academic year (September – July), except in subsequent years in the event of more than one request for places to the school and the appropriate year group is full. The waiting lists will be prioritised using the admissions criteria as appropriate to the school(s) concerned. |
Children are presently admitted when they are four years old. Such admissions are subject to a place having been offered at the School as a statutory age pupil (ie 5 years old) and there being sufficient room and funding to ensure proper educational provision suitable for pre-school age children. The school’s published admission number is 60 children. We aim to take all 60 children into school at the beginning of the academic year in which they are five.
Full details regarding applying for admission to school are given in the Local Education Authority’s publication “Information for Parents”.
In addition, the school admits 52 “three year olds” into the Nursery Unit subject to the Nursery admission criteria.
