Enrolment Categories, Gateways and Entry Criteria
| Enrolment Category | Gateway | Entry Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Geographic isolation | Child of a family whose geographic location prevents attendance at a licensed and/or chartered English language medium ECE service. |
To qualify, the student’s home must be:
(a) more than 6km from a licensed and/or chartered English language medium ECE service; or
(b) located behind a geographic barrier (e.g. un-bridged river), preventing reasonable access to a licensed and/or chartered English language medium ECE service.
Te Kura will establish entry criteria to ensure access by families with the highest level of need based on distance and accessibility. |
| Access | Itinerancy | Child of a family whose itinerancy requires a change of licensed and/or chartered ECE service each school term.
The minimum enrolment period is six months.
Parents/caregivers must provide, at the commencement of enrolment, an itinerary demonstrating that they will change location at least once per term and that each change in location will require a change of licensed and/or chartered ECE service. A written declaration to that effect will also be required.
Te Kura will review these enrolments six monthly. For this review, caregivers will provide a written declaration confirming that they continue to meet the requirements of this gateway. |
| Referral | High health needs | Child has a long-term illness or medical condition preventing their attending a licensed and/or chartered ECE service.
Caregivers must provide, each year, a medical certificate from a medical practitioner specialising in the condition preventing attendance, or a referral letter from a General Practitioner to a specialist. |
