Cumbria Education Service: Admissions

CUMBRIA EDUCATION SERVICE GENERAL  ADMISSIONS POLICY
Community  and Voluntary Controlled Schools


Where there are more applications than places available at a community or voluntary controlled school for entry to all year groups except Year 12, applications will  be prioritised using the criteria below.They will be applied in conjunction with explanatory notes 1 - 6 which  form part of the policy.

1.Children looked after, i.e. in public  care, giving priority, if necessary, to the youngest child(ren) and children who  were
previously looked after - see note 1 overleaf.

2.Children living in the catchment area who  have brothers or sisters in the school (orassociated infant or junior school) at the
time of admission. See notes 2  and 3 overleaf.

 3.  Children living outside the catchment  area who, at the time of their admission, have brothers or sisters in the school  (or associated infant or junior school) who a) have a statement of special  educational need that names that school or b) were directed to that school by  the LA in the absence of a place being available in the catchment area school  due to oversubscription and the school was identified by the LA as the next  nearest with a place available.

 4.In relation to Church of England  Voluntary Controlled Schools, children living within the catchment area who with  a parent regularly attend a church in membership of Churches Together in Britain  or the Evangelical Alliance.See notes 5  and 6.

5.Other children living in the catchment  area giving priority to those living closest to the school, measured by the  shortest
walking route by road - see note 6 overleaf.

6.Children living outside the catchment area  who have brothers or sisters in the school (or associated infant or junior  school)
on 28 April 2013 for entry to Reception and Year 3 or 1 March 2013 for  entry to Year 7 and at the time of their admission - see notes 2 and 3 overleaf.

7.In relation to Church of England  Voluntary Controlled Schools, children living outside the catchment area who  with a parent regularly attend a church in membership of Churches Together in  Britain or the Evangelical Alliance.See  notes 5 and 6.

8.Children living outside the catchment  area, giving priority to those who live closest to the school, measured by the
  shortest walking route by road - see note 6 overleaf.

 Applications  will be prioritised on the above basis.An exception will be made under the  Authority's policy for the education  of children with special needs (i) where a child holds a Statement of Special  Educational Needs, or (ii) is currently  undergoing a statutory assessment, and  in either case it is considered that  attendance at a particular school is  necessary to meet the identified needs of that child.

 Explanatory Notes
 [These notes are part of the policy]


Note   1
 A child looked after is a child in public care, who is looked after by a local authority  within the meaning of Section 22 of the Children Act 1989.Children previously looked after are children  who were looked after, but have ceased to be so because they were adopted (under  the terms of the Adoption and Children Act 2002) or became subject to a  Residence Order or Special Guardianship Order (Children Act 1989).

Note   2
In criteria 2, 3 and 6, priority will be given to those children with the youngest siblings.Brothers and sisters are those
  living at the same address and includes step and foster children.Priority will only be given where it is known  at the time of allocating places that a sibling will be attending the school  [excluding a nursery class] at the time of admission.

Note  3
 Where reference is made to associated infant and junior schools this is to describe those situations where infant and junior schools share the same catchment  area.

Note 4
 If parents or carers believe they qualify for consideration under criterion 3, they  should indicate this on their preference form in the place provided for this  purpose.  

Note   5
To be considered under criteria 4 or  7 parents or carers must provide proof with the completed form that they regularly attend a church in membership of Churches Together in Britain or the Evangelical Alliance.‘Regular’ is defined as at least twice a month.Attendance may be at more than one church but should be for at least two  years prior to the application date.  

In criteria 4 or 7 applications will be prioritised using the distance measurement methodology set out at Note 6 below, with those living closest to the school measured by the shortest route by road given priority.

 Note   6
 Distance measurements will be undertaken using the Local Authority’s computerised Geographical Information System [GIS].This measures the route from the centre of the pupil’s home to the  nearest entrance on the school site which is available to pupils at the time of  undertaking the assessment. The route  used will be the shortest walking route by road as identified by GIS at that  time.
