The SEN Information Report is reviewed and published annually. This document details key information about SEND at Croft Academy, as well as key roles and responsibilities.
Nursery Admission Priorities: 1) The child is in public care (LAC); 2) The age of the child; children cannot be admitted before their third birthday and priority is given to children who will be eligible for a Reception place the following academic year; 3) If the child has siblings at Croft Academy; 4) Proximity of home address to the school (proof of address will be required). Exception: if a child has a specific need which is best catered for by Croft Academy Nursery - as determined by a medical or social care professional - they will take priority over other applications. Reception admission: Croft Academy is part of the co-ordinated admission arrangements of Walsall Council; admission number is 30; applications should be submitted online to the local authority; if a child does not meet the admission criteria, the local authority may allocate a place at the nearest alternative school; the academy follows TEFAT governance for admissions and appeals.
