We are now receiving applications for Nursery for September. The deadline for this application is Wednesday 31st March. We are able to accept applications for our current Nursery cohort throughout the year. Please complete the same application form and email this to Ms Hamilton on comms@immanuelschoollambeth.org.uk
Parents are reminded that there is no automatic transfer from the Nursery to Reception. All parents must apply for a place in Reception using the relevant form. Whether or not a child is in the Nursery has no bearing on their application for Reception.
Guidance for completing the Supplementary Information Forms. All applicants should fill in FORM A as part of the application process.
Applicants should complete FORM B, ONLY if they are applying for a foundation place. The completed forms should be returned direct to the school by the closing date (Wednesday 31st March). Failure to return this form will result in any application being considered under the open place criteria.
When completing Form B, please note:
We are delighted that you are considering enrolling your child here at Immanuel & St. Andrew Church of England Primary School.
Admissions for Reception class are made through Lambeth Council and applications must be completed through their website by Friday 15th January. As a Church School, we are our own Admissions Authority and therefore also require a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) to be completed ONLY IF you are applying under the faith criteria.
In order that your application is processed in accordance with our admission criteria, please note carefully the criteria by which you are planning to apply, and ensure that you have completed the necessary form to ensure that your application can be considered under that criteria. The SIF for those families who are wishing to apply under faith must be returned to the school office by Friday 8th January.
Nursery and In-Year applications are made directly with the school. There are separate tabs on our website that have information about these admissions.
Guidance for completing the SIF for a Reception place (if applying under the faith criteria)
All applicants must complete the separate Common Application Form (CAF) available from your home Local Authority and name this school if you wish to apply for a place here. The CAF should be returned direct to your Local Authority. The CAF must be completed in addition to the Immanuel & St Andrew Supplementary Information Form (SIF).
Completion instructions for the Supplementary Information Form:
Applicants should complete SIF, ONLY if they are applying for a foundation place. The completed forms should be returned direct to the school by the closing date (8th January). Failure to return this form will result in any application being considered under the open place criteria.
When completing the SIF, please note
Regular worshipper is defined as a person who has attended church at least fortnightly over the previous 12-month period. In exceptional cases, a person for whom unavoidable circumstances prevented their attending for this frequency and duration may be considered to be a faithful and regular worshipper; the relevant Minister will determine whether, or not, there were unavoidable circumstances. Those who have recently moved to the area and who worshipped previously in a different church will be asked to supply a reference from that church so that the full year period is covered. The governors do not give a higher preference to families where both parents worship.
