Admissions
Admission to Bar Hill School
The school year is from 1st September to 31st August of the following year. All children are entitled to admission to the reception classes at the beginning of the year i.e. in September. However, legally, children do not have to start school until they are actually five years of age.
To register your child at Bar Hill School you should complete the registration form, which can be obtained from the school office. Children can be registered any time after their first birthday. In the autumn term prior to admission for the following school year, parents will should receive and admissions booklet from their Pre-school/ nursery. The registration form in this booklet MUST be filled in and returned to the Admissions Department at Shire Hall.
Reception and infant admissions
Under the new regulations, which came into force on September 2001, the maximum number of children, which can be admitted to any reception or infant class, is 30.
Arrangements for Secondary Transfer
The school has close links with Swavesey Village College, which has an extremely good reputation for the quality of education it provides for its pupils. There is also liaison between our school and the other feeder primary schools to ensure a smooth transition for the children from primary to secondary education. The year 6 children visit the college during their last term at Bar Hill and members of the college staff meet the children. In addition to the annual parents evenings for new parents in November the principal Martin Bacon welcomes prospective parents to visit and discuss any matters of concern. A minority of children transfer to other schools in the area e.g. St. Bedes interdenominational school.
