ADMISSIONS PROCESS
We welcome children into our Kindergarten from the term of their 3rd birthday. This could be entry in September, January or April and is subject to our entrance criteria.
Our youngest children enter Kindergarten and advance to Nursery in the September following their 3rd birthday. All pupils who attend our Nursery are offered a place in our Reception class in the September following their 4th birthday, provided they have met the entry requirements outlined in our Admissions Policy.
From Reception age upwards we operate a two form entry system with a maximum of 20 children in each class.
Our two Reception classes consist of children who have progressed from our Nursery, and we welcome a number of other children who are new to Eversfield and join us at this stage subject to places being available. Children seeking to join us in Reception are invited for a Taster Session, prior to a formal offer of a place being made.
Children joining Form One and above are invited to attend a Taster Day prior to a formal offer being made. During the day, children will have the opportunity to follow lessons and learn more about life at Eversfield. Assessments in phonics and numeracy will take place for children in the Lower School, in addition an assessment in Maths and English is carried out for pupils seeking to join the Upper School.

ADMISSIONS DURING THE COVID-19
Q: Did all year groups return to school in September 2020 following the national school closures?
A: Yes. We welcomed back all year groups to school after the summer break. A full and active timetable was in place including our extra curricular activity programme.
Q: What provision is made for your pupils during the national schools closure periods?
A: During the national closure of schools we deliver a full and diverse curriculum for all year groups through our online learning platform. A daily timetable includes virtual assemblies and a wide range of age appropriate lessons and activities. Pupils' work is marked and feedback provided by teachers. Pupils and teachers are able to have an ongoing daily dialogue through the interactive platform which also provides pupil forums for the children to interact direct with each other. In addition children enjoy virtual lessons facilitated through Zoom.
Eversfield was one of the first schools within the region to have responded to the Government’s directive to partially reopen while many schools across the region were still finalising their plans for children to return to school in June 2020. With the required safety measures in place, we welcomed children in Nursery, Kindergarten, Reception, Form 1 and Form 6 back into the classroom on 1st June.
While our comprehensive online schooling programme continued for Forms 2, 3 and 4 there is no substitute for being in school with friends and teachers, so with the appropriate measures in place we welcomed back Form 5 pupils on 15th June. In addition, we introduced the opportunity to offer one session per week for pupils in Forms 2, 3 and 4 commencing Tuesday 16th June. These sessions were held for two hours daily and were managed to avoid direct contact with other pupil pods in the school.
We have a well developed model for distance learning which was deployed when the Government enforced school closures nationally in 2021.
