Placement of pupils at Wassenaar elementary schools
The Wassenaar elementary school have made joint agreements regarding the placement of pupils at Wassenaar elementary school.
A distinction is made between the placement of four-year-old pupils, placement of pupils during the elementary school period within Wassenaar and placement of pupils who move to Wassenaar during the elementary school period. The schools themselves decide whether or not children can be placed as required by law. The starting point for placement is always the best interest of the pupils.
Placement of four-year-old students
- Students may be enrolled at age three (until at least 10 weeks before the desired enrollment date as required by law).
- From 0 to 3 years you can pre-register your child at some schools using the pre-registration form. You can find this form on the website of the elementary school. Please indicate whether your child is also registered with another elementary school. If so, which school and what the preferred placement is. N.b. pre-registration does not entitle you to placement.
- The school where you have pre-registered your child will inform you about 3 months before your child turns 3 whether or not your child can be enrolled, and whether or not the application will be used. Via a form you indicate whether or not you will make use of this.
- All schools have their own criteria for admission, which you can obtain at each school.
- If your child cannot be placed you will be notified and, at your request, your child may be placed on the waiting list.
Placement of pupils during the elementary school period within Wassenaar
It happens that parents decide to have their child(ren) change schools within Wassenaar. The schools have made arrangements about the procedure to be followed. If you intend to place your child(ren) at another school in Wassenaar, these agreements will be discussed with you. Before a placement is made, there is always contact with the current school.
Placement of pupils during elementary school term who move to Wassenaar
If you move to Wassenaar you can register your child(ren) at your preferred school. This school will contact the current school, of course after you have given permission. If there is no place at your preferred school, that school can refer you to the overview on the website of the SAD with the announcement that admission elsewhere is not guaranteed (the overview can be found below). In case your child has a special need and cannot be placed directly at one of the schools, urgent consultations will take place between all schools with the aim of finding a place for that child.
