LAUNCHING ... MONDAY 20TH APRIL
ADMISSIONS
PRIMARY ADMISSIONS - SEPTEMBER 2020
The primary admissions allocation day will take place on Thursday 16th April. All applicants, whether online or postal, will receive a letter with confirmation of their allocated primary school.
All allocation letters are being sent out, by 1st class post, on Wednesday 15th April and therefore applicants should receive confirmation of their allocation on Thursday 16th April.
Online applicants will also receive an allocation confirmation email on the 16th April, as well as their letter.
We urge parents not to call the Admissions Team until they have received their email or letter and/or have been to the website below to see if their query can be answered there.
A lot of information and FAQs, for example regarding the appeals process, can be found on the webpage https://www.knowsley.gov.uk/residents/education-and-schools/apply-for-a-school-place/annual-school-admission-procedures-september-2020, which has now been fully updated and expanded in light of the current situation.
Additional information regarding transition arrangements cannot be finalised at this moment.
Finally, please also note that due to social distancing measures, there are less staff available to take phone calls and respond to emails, therefore we are trying to alleviate the number of calls/emails the school receives by posting information via the school website and main Twitter account @whistonwillis1 and recommend checking these first for further updates.
RIGHTS RESPECTING AWARD
We are extremely proud to confirm that following an external evaluation, we have been awarded UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools Silver award. This means that we as a school have worked to ensure all our stakeholders are ;Rights Aware' and that we continue to be fully committed to this personal development. This award is one that we are extremely proud to have achieved as the values of our school are fully aligned to the RRS goals.
Our Pupil Leadership team and Mrs Askew have done an amazing job moving this work forward this year.
