Heber admissions

[Shankley]

My daughter has secured a place at Heber.

She is 4 next month and i assumed she'd be starting in September. However i looked at their website (which isnt very good as most of the links say "content coming soon") and it says that children born between September and February start in Sept, the rest start in January 2012 (the Academic year in which they turn 5)

I tried calling the school to check but just got the engaged tone.

Have i got it wrong? Its a good job i haven't handed in notice at the nursery!

From September 2011 schools no longer have two admissions per year - it's sept only

Where does it say on the site about jan 2012? Sure you haven't found old info about jan 2011?

Cheers Fuschia.

i was looking at page 3 of the Prospectus. it doesn't actually say 2012 (just about Sept and Jan intakes and it being in the year of their 5th birthday - which would be 2012 for our daughter) so i think it must be out of date. :)

I would guess so as this year is the first year where it has changed.

Try them again tomorrow - they are usually very good with the phone/email

Entry to primary schools has changed this year to one point of entry in September, so I would assume your daughter would be due to start at Heber this September. I would check how Heber do this, as some schools stagger it with one new child starting each day, so it could be October when all the children have started (and therefore you may want/need to keep childcare for Sept).
