Proposed Changes to our Published Admission Number (PAN)
Fri 22 Dec 2023As you know Warwickshire County Council is consulting on its Admission Arrangements, Coordinated Scheme and In Year Admissions Process for 2025-2026.
In accordance with the School Admissions Code, the local authority must consult on their admission arrangements when changes are proposed, and at least once every seven years.
As well as the reduction to your PAN for 2025 entry, we are also consulting on the following:
· changes to deferred and delayed entry information following updated DfE guidance; and minor changes in the coordinated scheme regarding offering places from waiting lists after National Offer Day.
· The consultation and arrangements documents are attached above for your information. I have also provided a link to the consultation below.

Staffing for September 2022 letter
Fri 13 May 202213th May 2022
Dear Parents and Carers
Staffing for September 2022
As most of you know Mrs Parkes has been out of school for a few months and she has now decided to retire from August 2022. We are pleased to say that Mrs Clark will remain as class teacher for the rest of this academic year. We hope that Mrs Parkes will be back in school at some point before she retires. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs Parkes for her dedication to The Dassett over the years.
We are also very sad to tell you that Miss Chance will be leaving us at end of this school year. Miss Chance has transformed our early years provision and will be leaving everything in a great position for a future teacher to take on. Miss Chance travels quite a distance daily and has secured a position 10 minutes from her home. In her resignation letter Miss Chance said that she was very grateful for the opportunities that The Dassett had given her, she has felt appreciated and valued.
We wish Mrs Parkes and Miss Chance all the best in any future endeavours and we will miss them both.
We are obviously in the process of recruiting staff and hope to appoint by the end of this half term. As soon as we have appointed we will let you know.
We currently see the classes for September 2023 as follows:-
Reception – new appointment
Year 1/2 – Mrs Moll
Year 3/4 - Mrs Hanna
Upper key stage 2 will be taught in Year 5 and Year 6 class groups by Mr Foyle and a new appointment. When the appointment has been made we will confirm which teacher will be where.
We are pleased to say that our teaching assistants, Mrs Costine, Mrs McMullen, Mrs Hamill, Mrs Malby, Miss Brooks and Mrs Brice will continue to work as part of our dedicated team.
Mrs Cowling, Ms Hillman, Mrs Walker, Miss Bolton, Mr Parkes and Mrs Yale will continue in their roles as Midday Supervisors and Mrs Boyle remains in the office for all of your enquiry needs.
We will keep you informed of any updates as they happen. Please be aware that these plans could change in light of any appointments we make between now and the end of the year.
In the meantime, if you have questions or queries please do not hesitate to contact me by telephone or email.
S Corry
Miss S Corry
Head Teacher

Tomorrow - 18/02/2022
Thu 17 Feb 2022Today the Met Office issued a red weather warning for parts of south-west England tomorrow. The warning is in place from 7am to 12pm. There are also amber and yellow warnings in other parts of the country that last for much of the day.
DfE today:
At this stage the department is not planning to issue national guidance. We would obviously expect settings to undertake their own risk assessment to consider the safety of both staff and pupils and refer to their business continuity plans for severe weather as they would normally. It may be that on the back of that risk assessment they decide to remain open but need to put measures in place ie. playtimes are held inside etc. but will obviously depend on local context.
Our area is currently under an Amber weather warning.Therefore, we plan to open as usual tomorrow. We expect all pupils in school as normal, however we appreciate that some parents - particularly those who travel from further away - may make the decision (based on their individual circumstances) not to travel to school. We will be understanding in these exceptional circumstances. At present all of our teachers will be expected in school, however some do travel quite a distance to school. We have contingency plans for adverse weather regarding outdoor time which we will use when necessary, during the day. We will post information on this website and on SEESAW as changes occur.
Thank You for your ongoing support.
