New to Poringland Primary
The Local Authority decides on the admissions policy for all schools except foundation and voluntary aided schools, which set their own.
Our school has adopted that which is laid down by Norfolk County Council, Children Services. A copy of our Admissions Policy is available on our policies page: Click here
Children receive full-time education when they reach statutory school age i.e. the term in which they have their fifth birthday, but the school endeavours to offer admission in September on either a part-time or full-time basis to those children who become five during that academic year. Parents are not obliged to accept such places and are not bound in law to send their children to school until the term following their fifth birthday.
Children under five should be registered with the Local Authority, but a firm offer of a place cannot be given until the Summer Term.

The Role of Parents and Carers
We believe that parents and carers have a crucial role in supporting their children to learn. We communicate with parents using:
- Weekly newsletters and regular parent mails;
- Our school website;
- Parents evenings in the Autumn and Spring Term;
- Inviting parents to assemblies and productions;
- An annual report sent home at the end of the academic year;
- Curriculum information meetings relevant to each year group;
- A curriculum overview to make clear the learning that takes place for each Theme each term.
- Google Classrooms and Tapestry.
