New Admissions
If you are interested in joining Nova Primary School we would love to show you around. To book a visit, please call the school office on 0117 9030446.
In-year admissions
An in-year admission means admission to a current year group for a child who is already attending school but wishes to change schools due to relocation or a change in circumstances. Nova Primary School manages its own in-year admissions so if you wish to apply for an in-year place, please contact the school office directly. Your child will normally already be attending or have a place at a school so please speak with your current Headteacher prior to making an in-year admission application.
Admissions Arrangements
Applications to attend any Amplify Education (Academies) School are welcomed from all families. Amplify Education (Academies) is a Multi Academy Trust and therefore its Directors are responsible for their own Admissions Policy and in ensuring that all of its schools arrangements and processes for admitting children are in line with the Admissions Code of Practice (DfE 2014) and the relevant Local Authorities coordinated Admissions Schemes.
The Planned Admission Number (PAN) for Nova Primary school is as follows:
Reception: 30
We are able to admit 30 children per class but in Key Stage 2 this can be up to 35.
Amplify Education (Academies) will admit children in the September following their fourth birthday. Each school offering primary education will provide the opportunity for full time education as well as offering parents and children the chance to defer the date of admission until later in the academic year. Parents can request that their child attends part time until they reach compulsory school age, or that the date their child is admitted to school is deferred until later in the same academic year, but not later than the beginning of the final term of the school year. Admission arrangements for Reception are coordinated by Bristol City Council.
Admissions Criteria
Each school within Amplify Education (Academies) will consider all applications for places that it receives. Where fewer than the published admission number(s) for the relevant year groups are received then all schools will offer places to all those who have applied. Requests to consider applications out of the normal age range must be made in writing to the academy prior to the closing date. Applications will be considered, taking into account the best interests of the child. All children with an Education Health and Care Plan where the school is named will be admitted.
