How do I enrol my tamariki at Stratford Primary School?
- Stratford Primary School (S.P.S) has an enrolment scheme in place. If whānau (parents) live in the school zone they can automatically enrol their tamariki (child) at S.P.S. If you live outside the enrolment zone whānau need to pre-enrol. Enrolment will need to follow the Enrolment Policy Process – refer to the Out of Zone process on the website.Important Note: Whānau should enrol at Stratford Primary School as soon as possible to help the school to determine spaces for future rolls.
- Contact the office staff to arrange a tour of the school. Please note, ākonga cannot be enrolled until a tour has been completed. This is completed with the Deputy Principal, Deborah Campbell (Year 1-4), or the Associate Principal, Jason Dombroski (Year 5-8).
- Tour of the school: Mrs Deborah Campbell (Deputy Principal) or Mr Jason Dombroski (Assistant Principal) will meet with whānau. This will involve talking about the your tamariki learning, including their social, emotional and physical wellbeing. Stratford Primary School wants to ensure each ākonga has the best possible start, so knowing their before school background is important. This enables the school to identify any possible learning issues that may require additional support. Remember, the first three years of a child’s schooling are crucial. Whānau will then complete the Stratford Primary School Enrolment Form and provide other forms e.g. vaccination history. The Office Team will support whānau to complete the necessary forms and get onto the School App.
- New Entrants will have visits before they start. This will be arranged by Mrs Deborah Campbell. Year 2-8 ākonga normally start on the day after they enrol. This allows time for the teacher to setup a positive first day for your son and/or daughter.
