St Mary's Primary are consulting on Admissions arrangements for September 2024. Consultation will take place for six weeks between 21st October and 2ndDecember 2022.

In accordance with the statutory requirements, the admission arrangements which the Governing Body propose to publish for admissions from September 2024 onwards are attached.

The proposed change is highlighted.

The rationale for this is that with the current category No 4 giving preference to applicants with siblings in the school applicants with no siblings have to go into category 5.

This means that applicants living in Old Oxted, where there is no sensible means of public transport often do not get in as places go to pupils in Limpsfied, who live nearer as the crow flies.

Please refer to the ecclesiastical parish maps for further clarification

Check Your Bin Day

From Monday 5 April our new waste contract with Biffa starts which will affect recycling, rubbish and food waste collections.

For most households, the main change is that weekly food waste will be collected on the same day as recycling or rubbish, but at a different time and in a different vehicle.

Some residents will have a new collection day, or their recycling or rubbish collection days swapped. We have written to all these households advising them of the changes.

You can quickly and easily find out if your property is affected by any of these changes by checking your bin day at www.tandridge.gov.uk/checkmybinday.
