Children are admitted to North Petherton Primary School according to our Admissions Policy. The admission of pupils with disabilities is the same as those applied to pupils without disabilities. The school complies fully with the Equality Act 2010 and the School Admissions Code in relation to the arrangements for the admission of disabled pupils. Where the school is oversubscribed, all children are admitted in accordance with the published oversubscription criteria.
Where a child is disabled, the school will make reasonable adjustments and provide auxiliary aids or services to ensure that no disabled child is placed at a substantial disadvantage compared to other pupils.
Parents of children with disabilities are advised to speak to us prior to admission to discuss any reasonable adjustments required so we can plan accordingly.
If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below.
North Petherton Community Primary School is a Local Authority school and therefore the admission arrangements are set by Somerset Local Authority. Please click Our admission arrangements (somerset.gov.uk) for further information on the admission arrangements.
