Admissions Policy
Davenies is a busy and purposeful Independent School for boys in Beaconsfield. We are very proud of what we offer and the way we educate our pupils. They benefit from a broad range of experiences, a staff that is dedicated and enthusiastic, and an attractive site which offers exceptional facilities.
Policy Statement
The Aims of this policy are:
- To ensure compliance with the school’s charitable aims.
- To identify and admit boys who can take advantage of the broad and varied curriculum and thrive in the environment that Davenies offers.
This policy applies to the whole school, including the EYFS.
Equal Treatment
We welcome children from as diverse a range of backgrounds as possible in order to enrich our community. Human rights and freedoms are respected but must be balanced with the lawful needs and rules of our school community and the rights and freedoms of others. All candidates for admission will be treated equally, irrespective of their or their parents’ race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, social background or other status.
The School has a formal Equality Policy, a copy of which is available on request.
Disability and Special Educational Needs
The School will do all that is reasonable to comply with its legal and moral responsibilities under the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001 in order to accommodate the needs of applicants who have such disabilities for which, with reasonable adjustments, the School can cater adequately.
The School requires full written details of any known disability or special educational need which may affect a child's ability to take full advantage of the education provided at Davenies. We advise parents of children with physical disabilities or special educational needs to discuss their child’s requirements with the School at the point of registration.
If special education needs or a disability become apparent after admission, the School will consult with parents about reasonable adjustments that may allow the child to continue at the School.
Our Special Educational Needs Policy gives more detailed information on school policy and procedure, and is available on our website or will be sent on request.
