AdmissionsADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS FOR SEPTEMBER 2011 DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS 15 Jan 2011 APPLY ON LINE at www.surreycc.gov.uk/admissions OR call 0300 200 1015 or email schoolbooklets@surreycc.gov.uk for hard copies Hinchley Wood Primary School is a two-form entry primary school with 60 children in each year group, 420 children in total. Children are admitted to school in September at the beginning of the school year following their fourth birthday. Legally, children are entitled and required to start full-time education at the beginning of the term after their fifth birthday. Parents can request that the date that their child is admitted is deferred until later in the school year or until the child reaches compulsorily school age in that school year. However, our programme of work is based upon children joining the school no later than the beginning of the term in which they are five years of age. In the event of the school being oversubscribed children will be admitted in the following order of priority in line with Surrey policy : 1. First priority: looked after children Children who are registered as being in the care of a Local Authority (LA) (for example, fostered or living in a children’s home). 2. Second priority: exceptional arrangements Occasionally there will be a very small number of children for whom exceptional arrangements will apply. Evidence from a consultant doctor will be required for medical cases or documented evidence from any support services involved for other sensitive family circumstances will be required. These exceptional arrangements may override other admissions priorities and the LA may apply them when they first offer places. The LA may also ask schools to admit over their Published Admission Number at other times under this category. 3. Third priority: brothers and sisters (siblings) After ‘exceptional arrangements’, places are then offered to siblings. A sibling is a child who will have an older brother or sister still at the school concerned at the time of the younger sibling’s admission. So, a younger sibling will be given priority for admission only if the older sibling will still be at the school in September 2011. A sibling is a brother or sister (that is, another child of the same parents, whether living at the same address or not), or a half-brother or half sister or a step-brother or step-sister, living at the same address, or foster children living at the same address. 4. Fourth priority: children for whom the school is the nearest to their home Currently the nearest school is defined as the school closest to the home address admitting pupils of the appropriate age-range, as measured by a straight line. The nearest school may be either inside or outside the county boundary. 5. Fifth priority: any other applicant If there is oversubscription in any of the above criteria priority will be given on the basis of nearness to school measured in a straight line from the address point of the pupil’s house, as set by ordnance survey to the nearest school gate for pupils to use. This is calculated using the Admission and Transport team’s Geographical Information System. If there are two applicants from the same block of flats the applicant with the lowest door number will be given priority. In the case of multiple births where only one place remains the parents will be asked to decide which child will be offered a place. (The remaining siblings will be placed at the top of the waiting list.) Surrey will operate an equal preference system for all its Community and Voluntary Controlled schools for the September 2011 admissions round. For those pupils who do not obtain a place at their highest ranked school the LEA will operate waiting lists. Waiting Lists For those pupils who do not obtain their preference the LEA will operate a waiting list for a period of one academic year (September-July). To remain on a waiting list in subsequent years or to apply to go on the waiting list in other year groups, please contact Surrey County Council Tel: 0300 200 1004 or admissionsandtransport@surreycc.gov.uk. The waiting lists will be prioritised using the admissions criteria. The Closing date for applications either paper or on-line will be on 15th January 2011. |
