Admissions and Transfers
The Standard Admission Number for the school is 30.
Children are usually admitted at the beginning of the term
in which they have their 5th birthday.
In the event of there being a greater demand for admission
than there are places available, then
- children with a Statement of Special Need naming Marsh
Gibbon Church of England School have the highest priority
- followed by 'looked-after' children living in the catchment
area, the Parish of Marsh Gibbon.
- Once places have been offered to these children, the following
criteria will be applied in the order set out below:
- A child with a normal home address in the Parish of Marsh
Gibbon, and with a sibling already in attendance at Marsh
Gibbon Church of England School at the time of entry to
the school.
- A child with a normal home address in the Parish of Marsh
Gibbon.
- A child with a normal home outside the Parish of Marsh
Gibbon and with a sibling already in attendance at Marsh
Gibbon Church of England School at the time of entry to
the school.
- Children with exceptional medical needs, supported by
written evidence, normally given by an independent medical
officer or other appropriate person.
- Children with exceptional social needs, supported by written
evidence, normally given by a social worker, Educational
Welfare Officer or other appropriate person
- Proximity of the child’s home to the school.
The children have the option to stay at Marsh Gibbon until
the end of the academic year in which they are 9. In line
with County Transfer arrangements, they may leave for a Junior/Combined
