ADMISSIONS POLICY CONSULTATION
​
The Governing Body of Hillesley CEVA Primary School are required to consult interested parties on the school Admissions Policy every 7 years. Please see the attached draft Admissions-Policy-2025-6.
If you have any questions or feedback in relation to this proposed policy please reply to admin@hillesley.gloucs.sch.uk or by post to the school at Kilcott Road, Hillesley, Wotton-under-Edge GL12 7RH
Please note that there are no significant changes to the policy in terms of PAN or criteria.
Attendance
At Hillesley School attendance is overall very good, with most children achieving on or above national expectations.
We believe that good attendance is crucial to the children’s learning and progress.
We encourage and reward good attendance and we strongly urge our parents not to request holiday time during the school terms. Requests to take children out of school during term time will be refused unless there are extreme and extenuating circumstances.
Further information can be found in our Attendance Policy.

School Performance Data
Our most recent Ofsted report can be found here​.
As we are a school with small cohorts we cannot publish performance table data.
​
Exam and Assessment Results
Hillesley School has a low number of pupils in year 6, therefore exam and assessment results cannot be published in the national performance tables, however, all children make very good progress and transfer to secondary schools very well-prepared for the next steps in their education.
