Sports
Danegrove has a Breakfast Club and after school Playscheme that operates daily during term time, and is available to all pupils at the school. The Breakfast Club provides supervision for children from 7.30am until school begins. Children receive a breakfast and activities are provided. The after school Playscheme runs from the end of school until 6:00pm. On arrival children are provided with a snack and drink. They are able to take part in a variety of practical activities from football, cooking, craftwork and board games and homework completion for the older children. These facilities have proved a popular attraction for many parents to use on either a regular or occasional basis.
Admissions to Danegrove are handled by Barnet Council. Danegrove has one intake of 90 reception pupils each year, with each class being a standard size of 30 pupils. Places are allocated according to the Local Education Authority’s criteria, in order: 1) children with a statement of SEN for whom Danegrove is named; 2) looked after children and children who were adopted (or subject to child arrangements orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been looked after, as well as those children who appear to have been in state care outside England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted; 3) children who the Director of School Access & Skills accepts as having an exceptional medical, social or other need which the school is particularly able to meet; 4) children who, at the time of admission, have a sibling living at the same address who already attends the school, or the linked school in the case of separate infant and junior schools; 5) children of teaching staff of the school where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made and will be in employment as a teacher at the school when the child starts school; 6) children living within the individual school’s defined area, with priority given to those who live closest to the school when measuring distance in a straight line; 7) children living outside the individual school’s defined area, with priority given to those who live closest to the school when measuring distance in a straight line. If the school is oversubscribed then children will be put on a waiting list and parents will be contacted by the local authority should a vacancy arise. Differing – Parent/Carer can request that the school delay or defer child’s entry to reception. In-year admissions: If you are considering your child moving schools do contact the school.
