Admissions Form

- Children at Elloughton School start school at the beginning of the school year in which they reach the age of 5.

- Coloured school preference admission forms and admission booklets from the East Riding Council are sent out to every parent [ by the school ]who has submitted an Elloughton School Admission Form.

- The East Riding will also contact parents explaining about admissions on-line.

- Parents can choose to send the coloured preference form to the school of their choice or complete the admission on-line.

- We at Elloughton School count up the returned preference forms and also receive regular updates from the admissions team regarding on-line admissions requests.

- If the total of forms and on-line admissions are less than or equal to the school admission number everyone is allocated a place. If the number is greater the East Riding admission teams will allocate places.

- Parents have a right to appeal if they are not granted a place at their first choice school.

For parents wishing to move their child from another school to Elloughton it is best to contact the school in order to discuss the availability of places directly with the headteacher.
