Admissions for Edukos Trust Schools

There are two different types of admissions:

• those to start school at the ‘normal’ time for the start of the Reception year; and
• those for places in other year groups or at any other time – these are called ‘in-year’ applications for school places.

In-year applications are made for example when a child is already attending one school and the parent/carers wish to move their child from one school to another and when a family moves to a different area and needs a new school place for their child(ren).

Whilst the admission authority for our schools is Edukos Trust, admissions applications are co-ordinated by the Local Authority, East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

When considering making an application, if you would like to visit the school, please contact them directly to arrange this.

Big Feelings

As adults, we can usually identify how we are feeling and can self-regulate enough to handle our emotions. For children this kind of emotional intelligence can be tricky, but the good news is that this is a skill that can be developed and practised. Below are links to various websites and resources which will help you and your child to identify their feelings and give some techniques to help:

• Anna Freud Centre – Emotion Wheel
• BBC Bitesize – How can you cope with feeling angry
• Canadian Centre for Child Protection – Big Feelings Come and Go
• NHS – Talking to Children About Feelings
