School Admissions 2015/16 Admission
Arrangements – Have Your Say!
School admissions arrangements for all
children who are due to start or transfer
school for the 2015-16 school year, and
those moving schools during the 2015-16
school year are currently being consulted
on.
This consultation applies to all voluntary
controlled and community schools and
those voluntary aided and foundation
schools and academies who have
contracted with the Local Authority to
consult on their admission arrangements
on their behalf.
Welcome
We
are
delighted
to
welcome Patrick Weld, our
new Quantock
Deanery
Youth Worker.
Patrick will be available at
break time and lunchtime
on Tuesdays to talk with
pupils
and
will
be
developing
Chaplaincy
work in school, a role which
will evolve over the coming
weeks.

Executive Headteacher
HELP FOR READERS
To all you unsung heroes out there,
we are looking for volunteers!
Danesfield School are having a
reading focus this term.
Could you spare a little of your time
to help in the classroom listening to
readers?
It
would
be
really
appreciated and be of real benefit
to the children.
You will be given
help, support and guidance and
possibly even a cup of tea and a
biscuit.
This consultation period allows parents,
other schools, religious authorities and the
local community to raise any concerns or
comments about proposed admission
arrangements.
For a copy of the admission arrangements
and details of how to make comments,
please contact (01823) 356146 or visit
www.somerset.gov.uk/admissions.
If you think you would like to help,
please contact the school office,
leaving your name, address and
phone number and we will be in
touch.
Looking forward to hearing from
you.

sessions are free and the school will
provide sticks. All the players will need
is their PE kit and shin pads.
