Admission Policy

It is the policy of our School to admit all children without regard for race, color, origin, social class or religion. However, we are a Christian School. We require that parents disclose any special needs required by their child at the point of the application process. We reserve the right to terminate any student’s admission if we are unable to meet the needs of any student or if important special needs status was not disclosed at the time of registration.

ADMISSION PROCEDURES

  1. An application form must be purchased for a non-refundable fee of ₦30,000
  2. The student must meet the minimum age requirement and academically qualify for a particular class and as indicated below before they will be enrolled in that class.
  3. Upon submission of the completed application form, the following documents must be attached:
    • 1 copy of the student’s birth certificate or international passport data
    • 2 Passport size photographs of the child and parents
    • 1 copy of student’s one-year academic report, last school fees receipt and immunization Report
All applicants over 4 years will be required to undergo an assessment before admission may be considered.
  1. The outcome of your admission application will be communicated via a call, text message, e-mail or in person.
  2. No student will be admitted into our classroom until all registration forms with supporting documents are submitted and enrolment fees are paid in full.

OVERSUBSCRIPTION

If there are more applications received at any one time than there are places available within the required grade, the following oversubscription criteria will be used to rank the applications in priority order:
  1. Children with a sibling attending Totsland Schools at the time the admission application is submitted;
  2. Children of staff (full time and part time, teaching and non-teaching staff employed) who have been employed at Totsland Schools on a permanent contract for at least three years prior to the submission of an admission application, or children of a newly recruited member of staff appointed to satisfy a demonstrable skills shortage.

Siblings
For the purpose of applying the oversubscription criteria, a sibling is defined by Admissions as a ‘full, half, step or adoptive brother or sister, or another child living for more than 2.5 school days of every school week within the same family unit and at the same home address’.

Waiting lists

A waiting list will be maintained by the Admissions for each oversubscribed grade until the end of the school year. This will include the name of each child who has been refused admission ranked in accordance with his/her qualification against the published oversubscription criteria and each time a child’s name is added, the waiting list will be re-ranked. If a place should become available within the grade, this will be offered to the child ranked highest on the waiting list at that time.

Children with special educational needs

Children with Special Education Needs will be admitted to the required grade. Parents/carers who wish to transfer their child from known SEN setting are encourage to come with all issued plans for the child during application for transfer.

Misleading or false information

Should the School become aware that the information provided on the Admission Application Form was misleading or false, it will consider withdrawing any school place offered, or where a child has already started to attend the school may remove the child from the school roll. The matter will be fully discussed with the applicant and the application will be considered afresh, taking account of any new information.
