Step by step guide to applying for a school place

Step 4 Receiving the outcome of your application including your rights of appeal (page 15).

Step 1 Understanding the admissions process read pages 7 to 8 or visit our website www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk

Step 2 Deciding which schools to apply for (pages 9 to 12) - visit our website which gives you links to individual schools, Ofsted and DFE websites.

Step 3 Applying for school places online (pages 13 to 14). If you do not have access to the internet you can still complete the paper application.

Remember you can make up to 4 preferences. Check if you need to fill in a supplementary form or provide additional information.


6

STEP 1 - Living in Nottinghamshire the admissions process

If you live in Nottinghamshire and your child is 5 between 01.09.12 and 31.08.13, is transferring from infant school to junior education (year 3 in September 2012), or is transferring to secondary school (year 7 in September 2012) you must either apply on line or complete an application form to apply for any school even if your preferred school(s) are outside of Nottinghamshire.

If you are unsure of the local authority for your home address, neighbouring local authorities’ addresses and contact details can be found on page 23.

The County Council is responsible for admissions to community and voluntary controlled schools. In academies, trust, voluntary aided and foundation schools, the school’s governing body is the admission authority. All admission authorities must comply with the mandatory requirements of the School Admissions Code and admissions legislation.

You must submit an application for a school place, naming your 4 preferred schools, before the closing date. We recommend you apply online but you can complete the paper form if you do not have access to the internet.

Your preferences are considered against the individual school’s admission criteria and schools are not told the order of your preferences. All Nottinghamshire’s schools have a Published Admission Number (PAN). This is the number of children who can be admitted into the “intake year”. Preferences are agreed until the PAN has been reached. If any of your preferences are for an academy, trust, voluntary aided, foundation school or school in another local authority, we will send the details of your request to the correct admissions authority for consideration against their published

admission criteria. This determines how places are allocated, when there are more applications than places available.

If your child meets the criteria for one or more of your preferred schools, whether they are community, voluntary aided, trust, foundation or academy schools, we will offer you a place at the highest preferred school that we can. Where one of your preferences is agreed, any lower preferences will be withdrawn. It is important therefore that you name the schools in the order you prefer them. Almost all children get a place at one of their preferred schools. Remember to use all 4 preferences. We recommend you use all your 4 preferences. If you cannot be offered any of your preferences, the Local Authority may allocate a place at the next nearest community or voluntary controlled school with places available. You will not automatically be offered a place at your catchment area school.

If you cannot be offered any school of your preference, you may be allocated a place at your catchment area community school or next nearest school, if there are places available. This is called a mandatory offer. In the event of schools becoming over subscribed through this process, places are allocated with reference to the school’s admission criteria. Alternatively, you will be asked to resubmit an application after the offer day, expressing up to 4 new preferences. Any new application will be considered in the same way as other (late) applications received after the offer day.

If you apply online you will receive an email on offer day confirming the decision about your preferences. Decisions about all other applications will be sent by second class post to parents on the offer date.


7

The admissions team are unable to give details of any of your preferences over the telephone.

Children with special educational needs (SEN) Some children have a statement of special educational needs. The Statutory Assessment and Placement Team is responsible for placing children with a statement in a school.

If your child has a statement and is due to move from primary to secondary education, the annual review meeting should be held in the autumn term prior to transfer to ensure planning and preparation are in place for a smooth transition. The statement will need to be amended to name the secondary school that your child will attend and you should receive a final copy of the statement by 15 February 2012 naming the secondary school. If you do not agree with the statement, you have the right to appeal to the First-tier Tribunal (Special Education Needs and Disability). Details of how to appeal will be sent to you with your child’s final statement.

Pupils who have a statement of special educational need that names the school will be allocated a place at that school.

Deferred applications Some parents wish to defer the start of full-time education until compulsory school age. If you would like to take up this option, you may arrange the details with the head teacher of the school. However, if your child’s birthday falls between 1 April 2008 and 31 August 2008, deferring admission until compulsory school age would result in your child being admitted into a different

admission year. In this case, we will not be able to allocate a Reception place at the school during 2012-2013 and you would have to apply for a place in year 1 during the summer term 2013. If, by that time, all the places in year 1 have been allocated, it may not be possible to allocate a place at your preferred school (due to infant class size restrictions). If you are thinking of this option, it would be advisable to speak to a member of the School Admissions Team.

Accelerated and delayed transfers It may be possible, exceptionally, for children to transfer to secondary school a year earlier, or later than their peers. The County Council may agree to a parent’s request for accelerated or delayed transfer if it is supported by the child’s school and other relevant professionals. If parents wish to consider accelerated transfer or delayed transfer, they should discuss this with the child’s current school in the first instance. It is important to remember that children who have a delayed transfer approved would have to apply for a place in the relevant intake year when transferring to the next phase of their education and there is no guarantee that a place will be available.

Looked after children Admission authorities are required by the School Admissions Code to give highest priority to children in care (looked after) in their oversubscription criteria. For a full definition please refer to page 24.

Some own admission authority arrangements definitions may differ from those of Nottinghamshire County Council. It is important therefore that you read their oversubscription criteria carefully.

STEP 2 - Deciding on a school

Starting school in Nottinghamshire For admission to the 2012-2013 school year, and subsequent years, admission authorities for primary schools must provide for the admission of all children in the September following their fourth birthday. Nottinghamshire schools admit pupils at one single point of entry each September:

• Nottinghamshire co-ordinated admissions scheme does not apply to those being admitted for nursery provision (including nursery provision delivered in a co-located children’s centre)

• Parents wishing to apply for admission to nursery or children’s centre should contact the appropriate school, centre or provider directly.

• Parents of children who are admitted for nursery provision must still apply for a place at the school if they want their child to transfer to the reception class

• Attendance at the nursery or co-located children’s centre does not guarantee admission to the school

• Parents can request that the date their child is admitted to the school is deferred until later in the school year, or until the child reaches compulsory school age in that school year

• Parents may request that their child attends part-time until the child reaches compulsory school age

If your child is currently attending a school nursery or early years group you MUST still complete an application as your child will not automatically transfer into the reception class of that school.

Remember Living in the catchment area, attending a linked school or having a brother or sister attending a school does not guarantee that your application will be successful. It may, however, give your application higher priority within the oversubscription criteria.

Please be sure to consider the following before making your preferences:

• Have you checked the catchment area school for your home address? Visit our website: www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk

• Have you contacted your catchment area school as you may be able to visit and read the school’s brochure? Don’t rely on someone else’s opinion or experience.

• Have you contacted other schools and read their school brochure?

• Have you checked the school’s oversubscription criteria?

• Have you considered how your child will get to and from school and if you are eligible to apply for travel assistance?

• Does your child have a statement of special needs, please read page 8.

• Check whether you need to complete a supplementary application form or provide additional supporting information, particularly when applying for an academy, trust, voluntary aided, voluntary controlled or foundation school.

• Have you considered which junior/primary/secondary school is linked to your preferred school?


9

There are a number of things that may help you decide which school to apply for and how likely it is that you will get a place. The information in the schools directory at the back of this booklet gives details of how places were allocated last year.

All enquiries about a school should be addressed to the headteacher of the school in the first instance.

If you have access to the internet we recommend that you visit our website www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk which provides quick and easy links to a wide range of information about Nottinghamshire schools and includes links to the Office for Standards in Education (OFSTED) and DfE (Department for Education) websites. The site also provides a direct link to our online application service which is quick, easy to use and secure.

We recommend that you:

• Read recent Ofsted reports www.ofsted.gov.uk

• Look at the school’s performance www.education.gov.uk

• Read the school’s brochure carefully (these are available from all schools)

• Consider transport arrangements and how your child will get to and from school

• Contact the school for information about school visits

• Check the catchment area school for your home address by visiting our website www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk

Getting to School The County Council is committed to reducing the number of car journeys that

pupils take travelling to and from school and has developed a sustainable school travel strategy. This strategy encourages schools to develop a travel plan which helps to reduce congestion around schools, increase the safety of children on the school journey and promote the use of sustainable travel modes. Sustainable travel means walking, cycling, car-sharing and the use of public transport.

Many schools have initiatives in place to help keep congestion to a minimum. Check with the school whether there is a car-sharing scheme, ‘walking bus’, ‘park and stride’ or other initiative to help with the school journey.

Home to school transport Many parents want their child to go to a local school which is within reasonable walking distance. It is the parent’s responsibility to accompany their child on the school journey if they deem it necessary. However, in cases where the catchment school is beyond the statutory walking distance the council may provide travel assistance. The law states that the statutory walking distances are:

• Up to 2 miles* (3.2km), for children aged under 8 years of age

• Up to 3 miles* (4.8km), for children aged 8 years old and over

If your child is of statutory school age, attends the catchment or nearest available school and you live over the statutory walking distance, your child may be eligible for free school transport or travel assistance.

Before applying for a place at a school, it is your responsibility to establish which school is your catchment school and whether any travel assistance is available. If you decide to

* This measurement is calculated by using the shortest available walking route

Remember to read the oversubscription criteria for your preferred schools


10

apply for a place at a school which is not your catchment school (commonly known as a preferred school) this will affect your child’s eligibility for travel assistance. You can check your catchment area school at www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/schoolcatchments

For full details about eligibility for travel assistance, see the Home to School Transport Policy Statement published on the Nottinghamshire County Council’s website and click on ‘getting to school’ www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/home/ learningandwork/schools

To apply for free school transport you must complete an under 16 travel scheme application form which is available on the Council’s website, from your school or by contacting the Council on 0844 980 8080. If your child is eligible for travel assistance they will be provided with a free travel pass for either a school bus service or public transport. If neither of these are available we may provide a grant for you to make your own travel arrangements.

If your child is not eligible for travel assistance but you would like your child to travel to school by bus, you may be able to buy a travel pass from us. For more information please call 0844 980 8080.

Additional help for children from low income families There are some additional travel benefits for children from low income families. To qualify, the child must be eligible for free school meals or the family receiving their maximum level of working tax credit.

• Primary aged children aged between 8 and 11 are entitled to free travel if they live over 2 miles from their catchment school.

• Secondary aged children aged between 11 and 16 are entitled to free travel to any one of their 3 nearest available secondary schools if the school is between 2 and 6 miles from the home address.

• Secondary aged children aged between 11 and 16 are entitled to free travel to the nearest appropriate school on the grounds of religion or belief if the school is between 2 and 25* miles from the home address.

Travelling to a preferred school Parents have the right to express a preference for a school other than the catchment school and this is commonly known as a ‘preferred school’. Generally speaking, children attending a preferred school will not be eligible for free transport unless the school is nearer to their home than the catchment school.

However, from September 2011, the Council began operating a discretionary travel scheme for year 7 pupils attending preferred schools in Nottinghamshire. The scheme will be available for pupils resident in Nottinghamshire, attending a Nottinghamshire School and living over 3 miles* from the preferred school. For further information about the scheme, including how to apply, visit the County Council’s School Travel Website at: www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/schooltravelunder16.htm

Special transport needs Special transport needs are not necessarily the same as special educational needs. Most children with special education needs will not have a special transport need and will be expected to travel to and from school with their peers. In general, a special transport need is identified if the child:

* This measurement is calculated by using the shortest available driving route by road


11

• lives within the walking distance but is unable to walk/travel safely to school, even when accompanied by a parent/carer

• is unable to use public transport when accompanied by a parent/carer

If your child has a special transport need, the County Council will provide free transport or a paid mileage allowance to get your child to the catchment area school, or to the school designated by the County Council as the nearest suitable school for your child.

Special transport arrangements are usually by bus, minibus, taxi or ambulance and, where appropriate, an escort will be provided. If your child is travelling alone in a taxi, you may be asked to accompany them. If you think your child has a special transport need please contact us.

What if my child has special educational needs? Nottinghamshire’s SEN and Inclusion Strategy (available on our website) describes ways in which support is provided for children with SEN in mainstream schools. However, a small number of pupils who have a statement, will attend a special school and a list of these can be obtained from the Statutory Assessment and Placement Team at County Hall.

What if my child has a physical disability that affects their mobility? Some schools require adaptations in order to enable pupils with a physical disability to access teaching environments. The County Council is adapting as many mainstream schools as possible. However, not all schools currently have suitable access and there are some schools where it may not be possible to provide full access for pupils who use a wheelchair.

By looking at the list of schools in this booklet and at the school prospectuses, you will be able to find the schools which have the most suitable access for your child’s needs. The schools which appear in the list with a wheelchair-user symbol have told us that they are at least 75% accessible to children in wheelchairs. You should, however, always visit a school to check that arrangements are suitable for your child.

School premises are constantly being adapted so it may be wise to speak to the head teacher or the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) of the school you are considering before you make any final decisions.

If necessary we will provide free home-toschool transport to what we think is the nearest suitably adapted school, if your child’s mobility difficulties mean that the catchment school is not suitable and your child has special transport needs.

For more information on services and accessible schools for children with physical disabilities, please contact the Fountaindale Physical Disability Support Service 01623 792857.

STEP 3 - Applying for school places

Please apply for your school place online. Make sure you remember to:

• Tell us if your child has any brothers or sisters who will be attending your preferred school or the linked infant or junior school in September 2012.

• Email or send us supporting written information about any educational/ medical/ social circumstances which may be relevant to your application before the closing date.

• Check whether you also need to complete a supplementary information form - these are available on our website or by contacting the school.

Your home address The address you give on your application must be the one at which your child is permanently living on the closing date for applications. We will not accept a business address, the home of a relative or a child minder’s address. If your child spends time at two different addresses, you should use the main place of residence - this will need to be verified and we may ask you for proof.

Each year a small number of parents try to use false information on their application to increase their chance of a place at their preferred school. We will investigate any applications where there are doubts about the information provided and we undertake random checks to verify that addresses provided by parents are genuine. If we receive an application where the address is proven to be fraudulent, any offer based on that address will automatically be withdrawn. Such an application could also constitute an offence which may result in the authority commencing legal proceedings against the person providing a false statement.

Moving home If you are moving house you must let us know. If you move house after you have submitted your application you must let us know immediately by e-mail or in writing as this may affect how your application is considered against the school’s admission criteria. You may be required to provide evidence of your new address to confirm that you are resident at your new property. It is important that we receive this information as soon as possible so your application can be processed correctly with your new contact details. If you move house after the dates detailed on pages 3 and 4 for exceptional lates, it will not be possible for your new address to be considered when allocating places.

Applications Applications submitted online will receive an automated email acknowledgement. It is advisable to retain a copy of your acknowledgement as proof of your application. If you go back in to your online application or make any changes, you must RESUBMIT your application. You must ensure that you submit your application and any supporting information by the closing date (see pages 3 and 4 for important dates).

If you do not apply online, you must still complete an application. You can make up to 4 preferences. The law says that admission authorities must give priority to parents who express a preference. If you do not express a preference by the closing date and the school you want is oversubscribed, your child is more likely to have to travel some distance to the nearest school with a place and you may be responsible for transport costs.


13

Remember if you are applying for an infant or junior school place and you have another child who will be attending the linked infant or junior school in September 2012, you must include them as a sibling (brother or sister) on your application as this may give your application a higher priority within the oversubscription criteria.

Supplementary forms If you are applying for a place at a voluntary aided, foundation, trust or academy school you may be required to complete a supplementary form which you can obtain by contacting the school. Please read the school’s prospectus carefully to check whether you need to complete a supplementary form and if so, where it should be returned.

Supplementary information is used by the respective admission authority in considering applications against its own admission criteria. Whilst the supplementary form is not in itself a legal application for admission to a school, it is extremely important that where they form part of an oversubscription criteria they are completed in order for own admission authorities to consider applications fully. This information should be provided at the point of completing your application and before the closing date.

Please check the admission criteria carefully, before applying, as some church schools also require written evidence from a minister to demonstrate your commitment to religion. This information must be submitted with your application before the closing date.

Once you have completed your application you should ensure that it is submitted to the County Council before the closing date. You

will receive an acknowledgement of your application within 14 days of receipt by the school admissions team.

Late applications If your application is late or you move into Nottinghamshire before the dates shown on pages 3 and 4 and you can confirm that there are exceptional reasons for missing the closing date then we may consider your application alongside those received on time. Proof of any exceptional reasons must be received by the dates shown on pages 3 and 4. Any late applications received after this date, whatever the circumstances, will only be considered after those received by the closing date, this includes any changes to preferences.

If you know that you will be moving house into or within Nottinghamshire, please contact the School Admissions Team for further advice.

HM Forces families or any other UK Crown servant family returning to this country from a posting overseas, or a family being posted from another part of the UK, can apply in advance of their return. Proof of their posting in the UK must be provided. The online application enables these families to indicate whether they are applying with a view to returning to the UK.

Remember, some own admission authority arrangements definitions may differ from those of Nottinghamshire County Council. It is important therefore that you read their oversubscription criteria carefully.

STEP 4 - Offer of a school place

If you apply online you will be sent an email on offer day informing you of the outcome of your preferences. If you choose to apply using the paper application form you will be sent the outcome of your preferences by second class post.

Please note that the Admissions Team are unable to give details of the outcome of any preferences over the telephone.

You will be required to confirm that you accept the place offered to your child. If you do not confirm your acceptance of the place within the timeline indicated, your place may be withdrawn and offered to the next child on the waiting list. If we have been unable to offer any of your preferences, you may be offered a place at your community catchment area school or the next nearest school where places are available. You will not automatically be offered a place at your catchment area school.

Waiting lists There are waiting lists for all schools in Nottinghamshire where the number of applications received has exceeded the number of available places in the intake year group. When you are offered a place at a school, any lower preferences are refused. Your child’s place on the waiting list will be determined by the admission criteria for the school. No reference will be made to the date of receipt of your application or whether you have chosen to appeal.

Your place on the waiting list can go up or down depending on whether places become available or if late applications are received. An independent appeal panel may allocate a place even if the child is not at the top of the waiting list. If a school falls below the published admission number, the County Council will write to offer a place to the applicant at the top of the waiting list.

In Nottinghamshire community and voluntary controlled schools, children’s names will only be added to a school’s waiting list if they are refused a place. In Nottinghamshire’s academy, trust, voluntary aided and foundation schools, waiting lists will operate from the offer day and will be maintained in partnership with Nottinghamshire County Council. Important dates on pages 3 and 4 gives details of how long waiting lists run for.

Inclusion on a school’s waiting list does not mean a place will eventually become available.

How do I appeal? You have the right to appeal to an independent appeals panel if you are not happy with the outcome of your application. If you wish to appeal, telephone 0844 980 8080 or 01623 436657 for Minicom users.

Repeat applications If your application for a Nottinghamshire community school has been refused, we will not consider another application for the same school year unless there have been significant and material changes in your circumstances, or those of the school.

Admissions to schools at other times Parents who live in Nottinghamshire must apply to Nottinghamshire County Council. Applications may be made by completing a paper application form stating up to four preferences in rank order giving reasons for the preference. The order of your preferences will not be revealed to other admission authorities.

Some schools - voluntary controlled, voluntary aided, trust, foundation or academy schools may require additional information in support of your application. This information is used by the respective admission authority in considering


15

applications against its oversubscription criteria. Whilst the supplementary form is not in itself a legal application, it is extremely important that where they form part of an oversubscription criteria they are completed, in order for admission authorities to consider your application fully. For further information, please refer to individual school prospectuses.

If you have recently moved into Nottinghamshire, you may be requested to provide proof of residence in order that the local authority can verify your address.

If you wish to transfer your child from one school to another without moving house, it is advisable to discuss this with your child’s current head teacher. Children benefit from continuity of teaching and learning and your child’s current head teacher may wish to discuss any possible transfer before you complete an application.

Applications to Nottinghamshire schools will be considered with regard to the published admission number, the current number on roll and in respect of infant and primary schools key stage 1 class size limits. We will process applications without delay and it is anticipated that for voluntary controlled and community schools within Nottinghamshire you should receive a decision about your preference within 10 school days. For own admission authority schools and schools outside of Nottinghamshire, you should receive a response within 15 school days. In all cases you will be required to confirm your acceptance within two weeks of a place being offered.

Where it is not possible to offer a Nottinghamshire resident any of their preferences and the student is without a school place, we may allocate a place at either a voluntary controlled or community school serving that catchment area, or the next nearest voluntary controlled or community school, if a place is available. Places will be allocated according to the admission criteria.

You may not be automatically offered a place at your catchment school.

For in-year applications, Nottinghamshire County Council does not operate waiting lists for voluntary controlled and community schools, though some own admission authority schools may do so. Where a child is on roll at a Nottinghamshire school, it is expected that they will continue to attend their current school until an alternative school has been found and an admission date has been agreed.

Nottinghamshire County Council will write to all Nottinghamshire residents who have made an application for any school detailing the outcome of their request - letters are posted second class. Any parent/carer whose child is refused a place has the right of appeal to an independent panel.

Where any offer of a place is found to be based on fraudulent or intentionally misleading information on the application, which effectively denied a place to a child with a stronger claim to the place at the school, the offer may be withdrawn.

In cases involving school transfers that do not arise as a result of a house move or there is no need for an immediate transfer, arrangements may be made for the student to start school at the beginning of term to minimise disruption to their own and other children’s education.

Fair Access Protocol Nottinghamshire County Council will continue to work in partnership with schools, parents and carers to ensure 'fair access' arrangements for children and young people in vulnerable circumstances, including those at risk of exclusion and excluded from school (Appendix 3 of the School Admissions Code gives details of the categories). All maintained schools will operate within a framework known as a Fair Access Protocol. In Nottinghamshire, the protocol will be managed through School Behaviour and Attendance Partnerships. The School Admission Code states that under this


16

protocol, schools cannot cite oversubscription as a reason for not admitting a pupil and that hard to place pupils should be given priority for admission over others on a waiting list for or awaiting appeal. These arrangements will be complementary to and managed in parallel with Nottinghamshire County Council's published admission arrangements.

General Information

Early Years Places All 3 and 4 year old children are entitled to 15 hours of early learning and care. This is known as their ‘free entitlement’ and is available in local authority schools, preschool playgroups, private day nurseries and independent schools.

All providers work within the Early Years Foundation Stage and are inspected by OFSTED and supported by Nottinghamshire County Council. This ensures that wherever children access their early years provision they follow the same curriculum and receive a comparable quality of education. Information on early years providers can be found by contacting Nottinghamshire County Council’s Families Information Service (FIS) on: 0800 781 2168 (freephone) or 01623 520694 (standard rates apply).

Children are entitled to an early years place as follows:

• Children who are three in January, February and March may start in the summer term (after Easter)

• Children who are three in April, May, June, July and August may start in the autumn term (in September)

• Children who are three in September, October, November and December may start in the spring term (in January).

A local authority school’s nursery admissions policy will give priority to children using criteria that are consistent with its main school admissions criteria.

Nottinghamshire Families Information Service (FIS) Nottinghamshire FIS offers free guidance and information for families with children/young people aged 0-20 years.

FIS can give you up to date information on registered childcare, including day nurseries, out of school clubs, pre-schools and childminders. FIS can also provide information on services and activities for children, young people and families in Nottinghamshire.

Ethnic minority pupils, bilingual learners and Gypsy, Roma Travellers The Achievement and Equality Team (A & E Team), provides specialist support, advice and guidance to schools in respect of meeting the needs of minority ethnic pupils and their families. The service is also responsible for the monitoring of racist incidents across all county schools, and provides specialist advice and training around race equality and cultural diversity issues. In addition, the service is responsible for the management of the central EMAG grant and as such devolves EMAG funding direct to schools where there are large numbers of ethnic minority pupils on roll.

Entry to a school’s nursery class or foundation unit does not guarantee entry to the main school at reception age; neither may a school make admission to its nursery class conditional upon agreement to attend the main school at reception age.


20

The service has a range of personnel including Consultants, Specialist Teaching Assistants, Community Link Workers and an Education Welfare Officer. Staff work with schools and agencies across Children’s Services to ensure that children and young people from BME backgrounds are able to access their entitlement to the full range of educational opportunities on offer and make the most of their potential. This includes support for refugee/asylum-seekers; pupils new to English and systems of the UK; advanced bilingual learners; specific individuals/groups of BME pupils at greater risk of underachieving or at greater risk of exclusion than other groups; and both housed and highly mobile Travellers.

For help and advice on any of the support services provided by the A & E Team please contact 0115 854 6440 or email [email protected]

School uniform

Each school decides whether to have a school uniform and what items or colours children should wear. You will find details in the school’s prospectus. The school will also tell you what games kit your child will need.

The County Council does not have a scheme to assist parents in purchasing uniforms or clothing, other than in exceptional circumstances.

Elective Home Education is considered by some parents as an alternative to sending their child to a school. Any parent wishing to undertake this must ensure their child receives an effective full-time education suitable to the child’s age, ability and aptitude. Elective Home Education Consultants work in partnership with parents to ensure that children are being suitably educated under the provision of section 7 of the 1996 Education Act.

The County Council has outlined the responsibilities associated with this aspect of educational provision in the booklet ‘Elective Home Education in Nottinghamshire Guidance Notes for Parents’.

The Advisory Centre for Education (ACE) ACE is an independent national advice centre which offers advice to parents on a range of issues, including admissions to school. ACE also produces booklets, handbooks and guides, which can be purchased directly from them or downloaded from the internet www.ace-ed.org.uk 0808 800 5793.

The Parent Partnership Service The service offers impartial advice and information to parents/carers of children who have special needs including Choice Advice for Admissions and Appeals (see page 22). Telephone 0115 948 2888/ 0115 840 0081 or visit www.ppsnotts.org.uk.

Assessments and examinations Results for assessments and examinations are included in reports to parents together with school and national information.

Raising the participation age to 18 From 2013 all young people reaching age 17 in England will be required to continue in education or training; this increases to age 18 from 2015. For children starting year 7 they will continue in education or training until they are aged 18.

Young people will be able to choose:

• Full-time education, such as school or college

• Work-based learning, such as an apprenticeship


21

• Part-time education or training, if they are employed or volunteering for more than 20 hours a week

We will make sure that all young people have the support they need to access these opportunties, including good locality information, advice and guidance and financial support.

Insurance In Nottinghamshire schools, there is no insurance cover for theft of, or for damage to, personal property from any cause other than fire. It is recommended that you extend you household contents policy to cover loss or damage to your child’s personal property while they are at school. Most schools discourage pupils taking valuables into school.

If your child’s personal property is damaged in a fire in a Nottinghamshire school, you may be able to claim against the County’s policy, but you will need to claim first against your own household insurance policy.

Personal accident insurance is not provided for pupils in school. If your child has an accident, which you feel may legally be the responsibility of the County Council, you can claim by writing to your child’s headteacher. You may, however, think it wise to arrange your own personal accident insurance for your child. Your child’s school may know about suitable policies.

Definitions Nottinghamshire County Council, as an admissions authority, uses the following definitions:

Home address ‘The child’s place of residence is taken to be the parental home, other than in the case of children fostered by a local authority, where either the parental address or the foster parent(s) address may be used. Where a child spends part of the week in different homes, their place of residence will be taken to be their parent or parents’ address. If a child’s parents live at separate addresses, where the child permanently spends at least three ‘school’ nights (i.e. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) will be taken to be the place of residence. Addresses of other relatives or friends will not be considered as the place of residence, even if the child stays there for all or part of the week. Evidence that a child’s place of residence is permanent may also be sought.

Such evidence should demonstrate that a child lived at the address at the time of the application and will continue to live there after the time of admission.

Informal arrangements between parents will not be taken into consideration. The designated officer may also seek proof of residence from the courts regarding parental responsibilities in this matter.

In all cases all those with parental responsibility must be in agreement with the preferences made.

Looked after child For school admissions the County Council will use the following definition:

Under the Children Act 1989, a child is looked after by a local authority if he or she is in the care of, or provided with accommodation for more than 24 hours by the authority. Looked After Children may fall into one of the following groups:

• Children who are accommodated under a voluntary agreement with their parents (section 20)

• Children who are the subjects of a care order (section 31) or interim care order (section 38)

• Children who are the subjects of emergency orders for their protection (sections 44 and 46)

• Children who are compulsorily accommodated - this includes children remanded to the local authority or subject to criminal justice supervision order with a residence requirement (section 21)

The term ‘in care’ refers only to children who are subject to a care order by the courts under section 31 of the Children Act 1989; they may live with foster carers, in a Children’s home, in a residential school, with relatives or with parents under supervision.

Children who are cared for on a voluntary basis are ‘accommodated’ by the local authority under section 20 of the Children Act; they may live in foster care, in a Children’s home or in a residential school. All these groups are said to be ‘Looked After Children’ (LAC). They may be looked after by our Local Authority (LA), or may be in the care of another LA, but living in or attending a school in our LA.

Admission authorities must give highest priority to children in care in their oversubscription criteria


25

Parents For school admissions, Nottinghamshire County Council will consider the following as parents:

• The mother of the child

• An adoptive parent

• The father of the child where he was married to the mother either when the child was born or at a later date

• The father of the child if (since 1 December 2003) he was registered as the father on the birth certificate

• Any other person who has acquired ‘parental responsibility’ through the courts. We may require evidence of this.

Siblings (brothers or sisters) For school admissions the LA will consider the following as sibling:

• A brother or sister who share the same parents

• A half-brother or half-sister or legally adopted child living at the same address as the child

• A child looked after by a local authority placed in a foster family with other school age children

• Stepchildren or children who are not related but live as a family unit, where parents both live at the same address as the child.

Remember if you are applying for an infant or junior school place and you have another child attending the linked infant or junior school in September 2012, you must include them as a sibling on your application. ‘Attending the school’ for admissions purposes means on roll at the school at the time of admission.

Twins and multiple births Where one child of a multiple birth can be admitted, the other child/children will also be admitted unless this would create an infant class of more than 30 pupils.

Nomadic Travellers include Highly Mobile Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children and young people who are temporarily resident in Nottinghamshire, for example, staying on a temporary roadside encampment, or in the county as part of a travelling fairground or circus.

Remember, some own admission authority arrangements definitions may differ from those of Nottinghamshire County Council, it is important therefore that you read their oversubscription criteria carefully.

Infant class sizes The law limits the size of an infant class (i.e. a class in which the majority of children will reach the age of 5, 6 and 7 during the school year) to 30 pupils per school teacher. The class size legislation makes sensible allowance for the entry of an additional child in certain limited circumstances where not to admit the child would be prejudicial to his or her interests (“excepted pupils”). The School Admissions Code sets out these exceptions (www.education.gov.uk/schools/adminandfin ance/schooladmissions) in paragraph 2.63


26

Admission Criteria

Most Nottinghamshire community and voluntary controlled schools use the standard admission criteria detailed below. You should, however, refer to individual schools’ admission criteria in this directory before applying for a school place.

Attending school is taken to be ‘on roll’ at a school for the purposes of admissions.

Special consideration for all year groups For applications for all Nottinghamshire community and voluntary controlled schools the following groups of children will be given special consideration in their application for a particular school:

Children whose particular medical needs, mobility support needs, special educational needs or other social circumstances are supported by written evidence from a doctor, social worker or other relevant professional stating that the school is the only school which could cater for the child’s particular needs. The evidence must be presented at the time of application.

The appropriate designated officer will consider each case on its merits and determine the allocation of any such place on the basis of written evidence. Admission under ‘special circumstances’ will take precedence over all but the first numbered criteria.

Children of nomadic travellers will be allocated a place at their catchment area school.

Infant and Primary Schools Standard Reception Year Criteria 2012/2013 In the event of oversubscription, the following criteria will be applied, in priority order, to determine which applications will be granted once places have first been allocated to pupils who have a statement of special educational needs which names the school:

1. Children looked after by a local authority 2. Children who live in the catchment area

and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school or linked junior/primary school.

3. Other children who live in the catchment area.

4. Children who live outside the catchment area and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school or linked junior/primary school.

5. Other children who live outside the catchment area.

In the event of oversubscription, within any criterion, preference will be given to children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies. Distances are measured from the entrance to the child’s home to the principal entrance to the main administrative building of the school using arcview.

Junior/Primary Schools admitting Year 3 children from a linked infant school - 2012/2013 In the event of oversubscription, the following criteria will be applied, in priority order, to determine which applications will be granted once places have first been allocated to pupils who have a statement of special educational needs which names the school:

1. Children looked after by a local authority. 2. Children who attend the linked infant

school and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister at the school or the linked infant school.

3. Other children who attend the linked infant school.

4. Children who live inside the catchment area who do not attend the linked infant school but who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school or the linked infant school.


27

5. Other children who live in the catchment area and do not attend the linked infant school.

6. Children who live outside the catchment area and who do not attend the linked infant school but who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school or the linked infant school.

7. Other children who live outside the catchment area and who do not attend the linked infant school.

In the event of oversubscription, within any criterion, preference will be given to children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies. Distances are measured from the entrance to the child’s home to the principal entrance to the main administrative building of the school, using arcview.

Secondary School Year 7 admission criteria - 2012/2013 In the event of oversubscription, the following criteria will be applied, in priority order, to determine which applications will be granted once places have been allocated to pupils who have a statement of special educational needs which names the school:

1. Children looked after by a local authority. 2. Children who live in the catchment area

and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school.


4. Children who live outside the catchment area but who are attending a linked primary phase school on the closing date for applications preceding admission to secondary school and who will have a brother or sister at the preferred secondary school at the time of admission.

5. Children who live outside the catchment area and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the preferred secondary school.

6. Children who live outside the catchment area but who are attending a linked primary phase school on the closing date for applications preceding admission to secondary school.


In the event of oversubscription, within any criterion preference will be given to children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies. Distances are measured from the entrance to the child’s home to the principal entrance to the main administrative building of the school, using arcview.

Community Secondary Schools - Year 12 admission criteria 2012/2013 In the event of oversubscription, the following criteria will be applied, in priority order, to determine which applications will be granted once places have first been allocated to pupils who have a statement of special educational needs which names the school.

1. Children looked after by a local authority 2. Children who live in the catchment area

and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school.


4. Children who live outside the catchment area and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the preferred secondary school.


In the event of oversubscription within any criterion, preference will be given to children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies. Distances are measured from the entrance to the child’s home to the principal entrance to the main administrative building of the school using arcview.

Exact course requirements will be published in the school’s brochure and/or post-16 booklet.


28

Possible admissions review The Government has recently circulated a revised version of the School Admissions Code for consultation and it is proposed that this will come into force for admissions in September 2013.

As a result of this consultation, parents are advised that the County Council will be reviewing its admissions arrangements. Any consequential changes to the County Council’s co-ordinated scheme and admissions arrangements will be subject to full consultation and would be implemented for the September 2013 admission round. It is possible that the review will identify some change which could be introduced earlier. If this is the case those likely to be affected will be consulted during the autumn term and informed of any changes before the deadline for receipt of the application.

This admission policy has been adopted by the Governing Bodies of all the above Catholic Primary Schools. It will operate from September 2011. It applies to all applications for the school year 2011-2012 and for applications in subsequent years until further notice.

The Catholic schools listed above are under the Trusteeship of the Diocese of Nottingham and belong to the Nottingham Diocesan family of schools. They are founded by and are part of the Catholic Church and seek at all times to be a witness to Jesus Christ. Religious education and worship are in accordance with the teachings and doctrines of the Catholic Church. This does not affect the right of parents or carers who are not of the faith of these schools to apply for and to be considered for places. We ask all parents or

carers applying for a place to respect this ethos and its importance to the school community.

Our schools are principally provided to serve the Catholic communities of Nottinghamshire. The Governors also welcome applications from all parents and carers, regardless of faith or background, who would like their children to be educated in a Christian environment.

In each school, the Governing Body is the admissions authority. Each Governing Body is responsible for determining the admissions policy and for all decisions relating to admissions. The admissions process is administered by Nottinghamshire Local Authority on behalf of the school governors.


30

Parents should consult the Local Authority booklet “Admissions to Schools” which gives full details of the admissions process, including information on the admissions cycle

The Common Application Form Applications must be made on the Common Application Form. The form must be completed by all applicants and returned by the closing date set by the Local Authority. Applications can also be made online.

The Supplementary Form and Supporting Evidence In addition all applicants should complete the Supplementary Form which should be returned to the school by the same date as the application form.

Parents/carers of Catholic children and those preparing for Baptism or Reception should supply one of the following documents with the Supplementary Form: • If the child is a baptised Catholic: a copy

of the child’s baptism certificate • If the child has been received into the

Catholic church: written verification, signed by a Catholic priest and stamped with the parish stamp.

• If the child, with his or her family, is participating in a recognised course of preparation leading to baptism or reception into the Catholic church at the time of application: written verification signed by a Catholic priest and stamped with the parish stamp.

If the required documents are not provided, the child might be ranked in a lower admissions category.

Nursery and Foundation 1 Classes Schools with Nursery/Foundation 1 classes are shown above. Parents/Carers of children in a nursery/F1 class must apply for a full-time school place, (it is not an automatic transfer). A place in a Nursery/F1 class does not guarantee a full-time school place.

Late Applications Any applications received after the closing date will be accepted but considered only after those received by the closing date. You are therefore encouraged to ensure that your application is received on time.

Deferred Admission If your child is offered a full time place before s/he reaches compulsory school age, you have the option of deferring the child’s entry until later in the school year. A place will be held and will not be offered to another child. Parents can request that their child attends part-time until the child reaches compulsory school age.

Infant Class Size Regulations Infant classes of 5, 6 and 7 year olds may not, by law, contain more than 30 pupils with a single qualified teacher. Parents/carers should be aware that when the Governing Body is considering applications for places, they must keep to the 30 limit. Parents/ Carers do have a right of appeal in accordance with the Infant Class Size Regulations if the school is oversubscribed and their child is refused a place.

Applications for twins/multiple birth children Governors will normally offer places to twins, triplets etc even if this means exceeding the planned admission number. In the event of there being one space available within the infant class size limit and children of multiple births having next priority, governors will consult with the Parents/Carers, the local authority and any relevant agencies to ensure that parental preference is met. However as regulations do not allow exceptions to the class size limit in these circumstances,


31

ultimately, if there is no alternative, the Parents/Carers will be asked to decide which of their children should take up the place.

Appeals If a child is not allocated a place, Parents/Carers have a statutory right to appeal. This should be done by writing to the Clerk to Governors of your preferred school no later than three weeks (fifteen working days) after the offer letter has been received from the Local Authority. The appeal will be arranged on behalf of the governors by the Catholic Schools Appeals Service and will be heard by an independent panel. The decision of the panel will be binding both on you and on the school.

Applications during the School Year Applications for places in any year group, made during the school year, must be made to the Local Authority. All applications must be made on the Local Authority form available either from the authority or the school. A Supplementary Form should also be completed and submitted to the school. Once an application has been made, it will be passed to the Admissions Committee of the Governing Body for consideration. If the respective year group total is below the published admission number for that year group, the child will be offered a place. If the respective year group total is full, the child will be only offered a place if there are very exceptional circumstances and if the Committee decides that the education of pupils in that year group will not be detrimentally affected by the admission of an extra pupil.

Local Authorities are required to have Fair Access Protocols in order to make sure that unplaced children who live in the home local authority, especially the most vulnerable, are offered a place at a suitable school as quickly

as possible. This includes admitting children above the published admissions number to schools that are already full.

Popular schools may maintain waiting lists for in year applications. Details will be provided on request from the school. Inclusion in a school’s waiting list does not mean that a place will eventually become available.

Places will be offered in writing. Offers not taken up within 10 working days may be withdrawn. In cases involving school transfers that do not require a house move or where there is no need for an immediate move, arrangements may be made for the child to start school at the beginning of term to minimise disruption to their own and other children’s education.

If your child is not allocated a place, you have a statutory right to appeal (see ‘Appeals’ above). Your appeal should be lodged within three weeks (15 working days) after the date of your refusal letter.

Waiting Lists - Annual Round Parents whose children have not been offered their preferred school will be informed of their right of appeal and will be added to their preferred school’s waiting list. Waiting lists for admission will remain open until the end of the Autumn Term in the admission year. Popular schools may maintain waiting lists after this date, please contact the school for details.

Waiting lists are ranked in the same order as the oversubscription criteria listed below. Waiting lists may change. This means that a child’s waiting list position during the year could go up or down. Any late applications will be added to the list in accordance with the order of priority for allocating places.

Inclusion on a school’s waiting list does not mean that a place will eventually become available.


32

Fraudulent Information If the allocation of a place has been made on the basis of fraudulent or intentionally misleading information, the governors reserve the right to withdraw the place.

Oversubscription Criteria Children who have a Statement of Special Educational Needs will be admitted. This will reduce the number of places available for other children. See ‘Nottinghamshires Admissions to Schools booklet’ for further details about special needs provision.

Where schools have more applications than places available, Governors will draw up a ranked list based on the criteria listed below and will allocate places accordingly.

Tie breaker: Within each criterion, priority will be given to children who live nearest to the school. Distance measurements will be taken in a straight line from the entrance to the child’s home to the principal entrance to the main administrative building of the school. This will be calculated by using computer software, which is currently arcview. In the event of needing to discriminate between pupils living in the same block of flats, where arcview produces the same distance measurement, the lowest numbered flat(s) will be treated as closest to the school.

In a very few cases, it may not be possible to decide between the applications of those pupils who are the final qualifiers for a place (eg children who live at the same address or have the same distance measurement). In this exceptional situation, if there is no other way of separating the applications then the governors will admit the additional child above the planned admissions number. If however, admission would result in the legal limit of 30 children being exceeded, then the place will be allocated by drawing lots.

1. Catholic children who are in the care of a local authority. (see notes 1and 2).

2. Catholic (see note 2) children living in the parish(es) served by the school who will have a sibling (see note 3) at the school at the proposed time of admission.

NB - St Edmund Campion School only: Priority in Category 2 as follows: Firstly: children living in the parishes of Holy Spirit and Our Lady of Grace, secondly children living in other parishes in the Borough of Rushcliffe

3. Catholic (see note 2) children living in the parish(es) served by the school.

NB - St Edmund Campion School only: Priority in Category 3 as follows: Firstly: children living in the parishes of Holy Spirit and Our Lady of Grace, secondly children living in other parishes in the Borough of Rushcliffe

4. Catholic (see note 2) children living outside the parish(es) served by the school who will have a sibling (see note 3) attending the school at the proposed time of admission.

5. Catholic (see note 2) children living outside the parish(es) served by the school.

6. Children who, with a family member, are participating in a recognised course of preparation (for example Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) leading to baptism or reception into the Catholic church at the time of application.

7. Other children who are in the care of a local authority (see note 1).

8. Other children who will have a sibling (see note 3) attending the school at the proposed time of admission.

9. Children who are attending the Nursery or Foundation 1 class (where relevant).

10. Other children.

Admission Policy for Catholic Voluntary Aided Secondary Schools in Nottinghamshire (Nottingham Diocese)

ALL SAINTS CATHOLIC SCHOOL MANSFIELD (Nottinghamshire) CHRIST THE KING CATHOLIC SCHOOL ARNOLD NOTTINGHAM (Nottinghamshire)

THE BECKET CATHOLIC SCHOOL, WILFORD NOTTINGHAM (Nottinghamshire) THE TRINITY CATHOLIC SCHOOL ASPLEY NOTTINGHAM (Nottingham City)

Admissions Policy This policy will operate from September 2011. It will apply to all admissions for the year 2011-2012 and for subsequent years until further notice.

These schools are in the trusteeship of the Diocese of Nottingham and serve the Catholic families of Nottingham City Local Authority and Nottinghamshire County Council. Our first responsibility therefore is to the children of Catholic families in these areas and these children must have priority in gaining a place at the school. Additionally, we also welcome applications from all parents and carers, regardless of faith or background who would like their children to be educated in a Christian environment. As Catholic schools we are

mindful of the mission of the Church to welcome those who are disadvantaged or marginalised. In particular, we continue to welcome children of families from other countries who have made their homes in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.

Our schools belong to the Nottingham Diocesan family of schools. They are founded by and are part of the Catholic Church and seek at all times to be a witness to Jesus Christ. Religious education and worship are in accordance with the teachings and doctrines of the Catholic Church. This does not affect the right of parents or carers who are not of the faith of these schools to apply for and to be considered for places. We ask all parents or carers applying for a place to respect this ethos and its importance to the school community.


34

The Governing Bodies are the Admissions Authority for these schools and places can only be offered by each Governing Body. The Local Authority co-ordinates the admissions process. We are committed to providing a place for every Catholic child attending our linked primary schools. To help us achieve this, we have agreed with the Diocese that the following traditional linked arrangements will continue:

All Saints (186 places) St Philip Neri with St Bede’s Mansfield, St Patrick’s Forest Town, Holy Trinity Newark, St Joseph’s Boughton, St Joseph’s Langwith Junction, Holy Family Worksop (Hallam Diocese).

Christ the King (147 places) St Margaret Clitherow Nottingham, The Good Shepherd Woodthorpe, Sacred Heart Carlton, Holy Cross Hucknall.

The Becket (166 places) Blessed Robert Widmerpool Clifton, St Edmund Campion West Bridgford, St Patrick’s Wilford, Our Lady and St Edward’s Nottingham, English Martyrs Long Eaton.

The Trinity (165 places) St Teresa’s Aspley, Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Bulwell, St Mary’s Hyson Green, St Augustine’s Mapperley.

In order to provide a system for the allocation of places, which takes into account the wishes of each Governing Body, a set of oversubscription criteria have been drawn up, consulted upon, and agreed with the Diocesan Education Service and with each local authority. The responsibility clearly stated in the opening paragraph will mean that the criteria for admission to the school will give priority to baptised Catholic children and other applications will only be considered if there are places available.

In drawing the criteria the Governing Body has used the following principles: • the responsibility to serve the appropriate

Catholic population as part of the Diocesan provision;

• a desire to keep families together; • a desire to ensure continuity of

education; • a responsibility to the wider community; • a desire to serve the general population.

Fraudulent Information If the allocation of a place has been made on the basis of fraudulent or intentionally misleading information, the governors reserve the right to withdraw the place.


35

Late Applications - Nottingham City - The Trinity School The Local Authority and the Governing Body may be willing to accept applications which are received late but before the date set by the Local Authority for good reason for example: • a family returning from abroad • a lone parent who has been ill for some

time • a family moving into Nottingham from

another area • other exceptional circumstances

Each case will be treated on its merits.

Any preferences received by the Nottingham Local Authority up to the date set by the Local Authority, with good reason for being late, and where appropriate, with the agreement of the Governing Body will be included in the first cycle of allocations and will be notified on the national offer day.

All other late applications received by Nottingham Local Authority after the specified date will be dealt with after the offer day.

Late Applications - Nottinghamshire Certain late applications submitted in the normal admissions round that are received by Nottinghamshire Local Authority up to the date set by the Local Authority will be treated as on time by the LA. Such applications will be from parents or carers who:

• have moved into Nottinghamshire; or

• can establish at the time of completing the form that there were exceptional reasons for missing the closing date and were, therefore, unable to meet the published closing date.

Governing Bodies will treat such applications as on time where it is practical to include them in their first ranking.

All other late applications for secondary school places received by Nottinghamshire Local Authority after the specified date will be dealt with after the offer day.

Waiting Lists Parents whose children have not been offered their preferred school will be informed of their right of appeal and will be added to their preferred school’s waiting list. Waiting lists for admission will remain open until the end of the Autumn Term in the admission year.

If there is oversubscription, schools will continue to maintain waiting lists. Parents must make a request for their child’s name to be put on the waiting list and lists will be revised annually.

Waiting lists are ranked in the same order as the oversubscription criteria listed below.

Waiting lists may change. This means that a child’s waiting list position during the year could go up or down. Any late applications will be added to the list in accordance with the order of priority for allocating places. Inclusion on a school’s waiting list does not mean that a place will eventually become available.

In Year Applications Applications for places in any year group, made during the school year, must be made to the Local Authority using the home local authority application form. A Supplementary Form should also be completed. Once an application has been made, it will be passed to the Admissions Committee of the Governing Body for consideration. If the respective year group total is below the published admission number for that year group, the child will be offered a place unless circumstances have changed since the year group in question was a normal year of admission.


36

If the respective year group total is full, the child will be only offered a place if there are very exceptional circumstances and if the Committee decides that the education of pupils in that year group will not be detrimentally affected by the admission of an extra pupil.

If there is oversubscription, schools will maintain waiting lists for in year applications. Details will be provided on request. Inclusion in a school’s waiting list does not mean that a place will eventually become available.

If a child is not allocated a place, parents have a statutory right to appeal (see ‘Appeals’ below). Appeal should be lodged within three weeks (15 working days) after the date of your decision letter.

Local Authorities are required to have Fair Access Protocols in order to make sure that unplaced children who live in the home local authority, especially the most vulnerable, are offered a place at a suitable school as quickly as possible. This includes admitting children above the published admissions number to schools that are already full.

All Applications - Documents Required Common Application Form: All applications for transfer from primary school to secondary school and for in year transfers must be made on the home Local Authority’s Common Application Form. This form should also be used for applications to schools in neighbouring authorities.

Supplementary Form and Supporting Evidence: In addition, all applicants should complete the Supplementary Form. The information on this form will enable Governors to place applicants in the correct category. If a Supplementary Form has not been supplied with the application pack, parents should contact their primary headteacher or the relevant secondary school.

The Trinity School: The Supplementary Form should be returned to the Local Authority with the Application form.

Other Schools: The Supplementary from should be returned to the school by the same closing date as the Application Form.

Parents/carers of Catholic children should also supply one of the following documents with the Supplementary Form:

• A copy of the child’s baptism certificate OR

• If the child has been received into the Catholic church, written verification, signed by a Catholic priest and stamped with the parish stamp.

Applicants whose children are members of other Christian denominations should supply a baptism certificate or certificate of dedication.

If the Supplementary Form and the required documents listed above are not returned on the closing date, applicants will automatically be placed in Category E of the oversubscription criteria (see below).

All Applications - How Places are Allocated Once applications are received by the Local Authority, details of all applicants are passed to the Governing Body. Using the information on both the Common Application Form and the Supplementary Form, each Governing Body draws up a ranked list using the oversubscription criteria listed below. The Authority then allocates places on behalf of each Governing Body up to the admissions number. Where places cannot be allocated at the first preference school, the Local Authority will allocate places at the next preferred school which has places.


37

Applications for twins and multiple birth pupils In cases where there is one remaining place available and the next child on the waiting list is one of a twin or of other multiple birth groups, then both twins (or all the siblings in case of multiple births) will be admitted even if this means that the admission number will be exceeded.

These are the Oversubscription Criteria

Pupils with statements of special needs whose statement names the school will be admitted. This will reduce the number of places available.

Category A - Catholic pupils in the care of a local authority (Looked After Children)

Category B - Baptised Catholic Pupils

1. Pupils who attend one of the linked primary schools

2. Pupils with brothers or sisters at the school who will be in Years 7-11 at the time of admission

3. Other Catholic pupils.

Category C - Pupils in the care of a local authority who are not Catholic (Looked After Children)

Category D - Pupils belonging to other Christian churches which belong to Churches Together in England (including Eastern Orthodox Churches)



3. Other Christian pupils.

Christian churches are those churches and denominations which belong to Churches Together in England and Wales. (See list below).

Category E - Other pupils



3. Other pupils.

If a tie breaker is needed any of the above categories, allocation of places will be decided on a distance basis. Distance measurements will be supplied by the Local Authority. (See below)

Distance Tie Breaker - Nottingham City (Trinity) Distance will be measured in a straight line (by a computerised geographical information system) from the centre of the school campus to a point at the pupils home address identified by the Local Land and Property Gazetteer.

Distance Tie Breaker - Nottinghamshire (All Saints, Christ the King, The Becket) Distance measurements will be taken in a straight line from the entrance to the child’s home (as defined by the Local Authority) to the principal entrance to the main administrative building of the school. This will be calculated by using computer software, which is currently arcview. In the event of needing to discriminate between pupils living in the same block of flats, where arcview produces the same distance measurement, the lowest numbered flat(s) will be treated as closest to the school.

All Schools: In a very few cases, it may not be possible to decide between the applications of those pupils who are the final qualifiers for a place (eg children who live at the same address or have the same distance measurement). In this exceptional situation, if there is no other way of separating the applications then the governors will admit the additional child above the planned admissions number.


38

Admission criteria 2012/2013 The following oversubscription criteria will be used to determine how places are allocated when there are more applications than places available. In the event of oversubscription, within any criterion, preference will be given to children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies. Distances are measured using the Local Authority’s computerised measuring system, currently arcview, from the entrance to the child’s home to the principal entrance to the main administrative building of the school. Children who have a statement of special educational need that names All Saints CE Infant School will be admitted. This will reduce the number of places available for other children. 1. Children who are ’Looked After’ 2. Children, who at the time of admission, have a sibling (brother or sister) who attend the school, or the linked primary

school and whose parents have a commitment to All Saints Church, Huthwaite* 3. Children who, at the time of admission, have a sibling (brother or sister) who attend the school, or the linked primary

school and whose parents have a commitment to other churches who are members of Churches Together in England or the Evangelical Alliance*

4 . Children who, at the time of admission, have a sibling (brother or sister) who attend the school, or the linked primary school

5. Children whose parents have a commitment to All Saints Church, Huthwaite* 6 . Children whose parents have a commitment to any other churches who are members of Churches Together in

England or the Evangelical Alliance* 7. Any other children, including those whose parents have a commitment to any other faith group * Within criteria 2,3,5 and 6 Governors will differentiate priority according to whether the family are

• ‘at the heart of the church’ – worshipping usually at least twice per month • ‘attached to the church’ – worshipping usually monthly or involved in regular weekday church activities • ‘known to the church’ – worshipping occasionally, known through a family connection or involved in a regular

weekday church activity which does not include an element of worship

Special Circumstances: Children whose particular medical needs, mobility support needs, special educational needs or other circumstances are supported by written evidence from a doctor, social worker or other relevant professional stating that the school is the only school which could cater for your child’s particular needs will be given special consideration. The evidence must be presented at the time of application. Admission under ‘special circumstances’ will take precedence over all but the first numbered criteria.

All applications must be made on the common application form issued by the home Local Authority. The form must be completed and returned by the closing date. In addition, applicants applying under criterion 2,3,5 or 6 should also complete the supplementary application form which requires verification from a minister. If this document is not completed your child may be ranked in a lower criterion.

All applications received after the closing date will be accepted but considered after those received on time.

If applications exceed the number of places available, the school will operate a waiting list in accordance with the above oversubscription criteria. Places on the waiting list may go up or down depending on whether places become available, or if late applications are received. The Governors of the school, in partnership with the Local Authority, will administer the waiting list for the duration of the co-ordinated scheme.

If a child is not allocated a place, parents/carers have a statutory right of appeal. Appeals can be lodged by writing to the Governors and appeals are heard by an independent appeals panel. The decision of the panel will be binding on parents and on the school.

The Governing Body operates a single entry admission policy prior to a child’s fifth birthday, admitting children full-time at the beginning of the Autumn Term. The children are offered a part-time place in school for the preceding Summer Term. Some parents wish to defer the start of full-time education until compulsory school age. If you would like to take up this option, you may arrange the details with the Head Teacher. However, if your child’s birthday falls between 1 April and 31 August, deferring admission until compulsory school age would result in your child being admitted into a different admission year and it is advisable to speak to the Local Authority if you are considering this option.

Admission criteria 2012/2013 In the event of over-subscription the following criteria will be applied, in priority order, to determine which applications will be granted once places have first been allocated to pupils who have a statement of special educational needs which names the school: • Children looked after by a local authority • Children who live in the catchment area and attend the linked infant school and who, at the time of admission, will

have a brother or sister at the school or the linked infant school • Other children who live in the catchment area and attend the linked infant school • Children who live inside the catchment area who do not attend the linked infant school but who, at the time of

admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school or the linked infant school • Other children who live in the catchment area and do not attend the linked infant school • Children who live outside the catchment area but attend the linked infant school and who, at the time of admission,

will have a brother or sister attending the school or the linked infant school • Children who live outside the catchment area but attend the linked infant school • Children who live outside the catchment area who do not attend the linked infant school but who, at the time of

admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school (or the linked infant school) • Other children who live outside the catchment area

In the event of oversubscription within any criterion, preference will be given to children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies. Distances are measured from the entrance to the child’s home to the principal entrance to the main administrative building of the school.

Special Circumstances: The following groups of children will be given special consideration in their application for a particular school:

• Children whose particular medical needs, mobility support needs, special educational needs or social circumstances are supported by written evidence from a doctor, social worker or other relevant professional stating that the school is the only school which could cater for the child’s particular needs. The evidence must be presented at the time of application.

The appropriate designated Officer will consider each case on its merits and determine the allocation of any such place on the basis of the written evidence. Admission under ‘special circumstances’ will take precedence over all but the first of the numbered criteria. Children of nomadic Travellers will be allocated a place at their catchment area school.

There is one over-riding criterion for admission, not based on over-subscription, which needs to be noted (and over which the school has no discretion):

• Children who have a Statement of Special Educational Needs, in which Gamston School is named, must be admitted to the school.

In the event of requests for places exceeding availability, places at the school will be allocated, by the governing body according to the following criteria:

• Looked After children (A ‘Looked After’ child is a child who is in the care of a local authority or provided with accommodation by that authority)*

• Parental commitment* to a mainstream Christian Church (as defined by the diocese) (commitment* by parents/carers is defined as attendance at a Church of England Church or another Christian denomination for at least a month over the last 6 months. This must be supported by a letter of evidence from the child’s parents’/carers’ Parish Priest. The supporting statement must be to the satisfaction of the Parish Priest with responsibility for Gamston)

Children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs that names St Anne’s Church of England (Aided) Primary School will be admitted.

All applications will be considered and placed in a particular category - Category 1 will represent the Category of children most likely to gain admission whereas Category 5 is least likely to gain admission if applicants exceed the Published Admission Number (PAN) of 30.

The Governors will use the additional application form ‘Worksop St Anne’s Church of England (Aided) Primary School: Application for Admission” when considering applications. This additional form asks for information that will enable the Governors to determine whether the child is a Christian child and whether the parents worship regularly at St Anne’s Parish Church or at another Christian Church. If the additional application form is not available, it may not be possible to determine whether or not the child has been baptised or whether or not the parents worship regularly.

Category 1

Children who

a) are in Public Care (Looked After Children)

Category 2

Christian children* who a) worship or whose parents worship regularly* at St Anne’s Parish Church b) worship or whose parents worship regularly* at another Christian Church c) have siblings* attending St Anne’s School at the time of admission

Category 3

Children who:

a) worship or whose parents worship regularly* at St Anne’s Parish Church b) worship or whose parents worship regularly* at another Christian Church c) have siblings* attending St Anne’s School at the time of admission

Category 5

Beginning with the category in which applications first exceed the Admissions Number, preference will be given to those who live closest to the school according to the distances provided by Nottinghamshire LA. (The Governing Body has noted concerns raised by HM Government and believes that this system allows for the widest socio-economic mix at St Anne’s School.)

Governors reserve the right to follow up references with the appropriate minister given on the application form to ascertain the parents’ level of involvement in and commitment to, the church or faith group. Questions to be asked include ‘Have the parents/carers attended their place of worship monthly in the last year?’ and ‘Are the parents/carers involved in the life of the church or faith group?’

The Governors are required to admit any child who has a statement of special educational needs which names this school. This may reduce the number of places available to other applicants.

Children will be admitted to Woods Foundation School in three sections, in the following order of priority:

A. Looked after child applications, i.e. A child who is looked after by a local authority in accordance with section 22 of the Children’s Act 1989 at the time of application and admittance.

B. Foundation Place applications, i.e., children living in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Woodborough

C. Open Place applications, i.e. any other applications

These will be used in any of the above sections where there are more applications than places available. In the event of two or more applications having equal weight for the same vacancy, under any of the following criteria, the Governors shall offer admission to the child living nearest the school, ‘as the crow flies’.

1. Children who, at the time of admission, have a sibling attending the school.

96



2. Children where either parent is a regular worshipper at a Church of England church AND is also involved in the life and work of the Church.

3. Children where either parent is a regular worshipper at a Church of England church but is not otherwise involved in the life and work of the Church.

4. Children where either parent is involved in the life and work of a Church of England church but is not a regular worshipper.

5. Children where a parent is either a regular worshipper at a church of any other Christian denomination, or is involved in the life and work of that church.

6. Children who do not meet any of the above criteria.

NOTE: - Any application under criteria 2,3,4 or 5 must be accompanied by a reference on the school form, from an appropriate minister which supports the information you have given. No application will be considered under these criteria without a current reference, but will be considered under criteria 6.


Children will be given special consideration if their particular medical needs, mobility support needs, special educational needs or social circumstances are supported by written evidence from a doctor, social worker or other relevant professional. Each case will be considered on its own merits and may be accorded a high priority. The evidence must be presented at the time of application.

AAll children from the Parish of Lowdham with Caythorpe and from the Parishes of Oxton, Epperstone and Gonalston (the catchment area) will have the right of admission to the school subject to an admission limit of 30 pupils per year group.

N.B. a) the Governors will not admit over this admission limit

b) where the pupil has a Statement of Special Educational Needs which names the school then the child will be admitted.

Application for admission to the Reception Class for September should be received by the Headteacher by the date given on the LA application form.

Should there be more than 30 applications then applicants will be considered by the Governors having regard to the following criteria, in priority order, as listed below:

1. Where the pupil is a “Looked After Child” in the care of the Local Authority then high priority will be given to any such child

2. Whether the child is resident within the catchment area

3. Whether the child, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister* attending the school

4. Whether the child attends organised religious worship linked to the Church of England i.e. being regular worshippers (at least once per month) and/or are actively involved in the work of the Church and have been so for a period of at least 12 months prior to the date of application.

5. Whether one or both parents* are practising members of the Church of England, i.e. being regular worshippers (at least once per month) and/or are actively involved in the work of that Church and have been so for a period of at least 12 months prior to the date of application

6. As for 3 but in a C.T.E (Churches Together in England)*

7. Other applications from children who are outside the catchment area

In each of the above situations, all things being equal, nearness to the school will be a deciding factor. (Distances will be measured ‘as the crow flies’ from the front door of the child’s home address to the main entrance door of the school using Local Authority software.)

N.B. Regardless of the above criteria the Governors will, if there are any specific social, medical needs or compassionate grounds why the child should attend this school in preference to another school, give consideration to admitting such a child.

The Governing Body has adopted a fair, open and objective system for considering all requests for admission. Applications for children with disabilities are treated no differently from any other. The school has a disabled toilet facility. A child who has a statement of educational needs which names the school or is ‘looked after’ (child in care of a Local Authority) will be admitted. When there is an over-subscription for the places available the following criteria will be applied in the priority order given. A looked after child has the highest priority in the event of over subscription.

A. Whether a child has a sibling attending the school on the date of admission of the child (a sibling is a brother or sister who share the same parent, a half brother or sister who share one common parent, a step brother or step sister where two children are related by a parents marriage, and adopted or fostered children living in the same household under a residence order).

121



B. Whether the child or parent/carer is a regular twice monthly worshipper at a Church of England church for at least the previous twelve months.

C. Whether the child or parent/carer is a regular twice monthly worshipper at any members of Churches Together in England for at least the previous twelve months.

D. Whether a child whose particular medical needs, mobility support needs, special educational needs or social circumstances has written evidence from a doctor, social worker or other relevant professional stating that the school is the only school which could cater for the child’s particular needs. The evidence must be presented with the application.

In each category, a child living nearest the school will be given priority. Distances will be measured in a straight line from the child’s home address to the main entrance of the school (using the Local Authority software).

A parent, carer or adult responsible for a looked after child is the person having the legal responsibility for the bringing up of the child.

Supporting references for applications in category D will be required from the appropriate professional person.

Guidelines for a Minister’s Verification

Applications on denominational grounds (Criteria B and C) must be supported by the supplementary form completed by the parent(s) with verification from a minister of religion that the child and parent(s) have practised their faith by worship at least twice per calendar month at the Ministers place of worship for at least the past year.

The school governing body is consulting on their proposal to provide 11 Early Years places at the school from January 2012 at the time of going to print. This would change the school range to 3-11 years.

1. Children looked after by the local authority.

2. Children whose parents have a commitment to All Saints Church, Cotgrave or any other church which is a member of Churches Together in England/Council for Churches for Britain and Ireland and/or The Evangelical Alliance (for this criterion governors will seek written confirmation of that statement from the appropriate Minister of Religion)

3. Children whose parents are seeking a Christian environment for their child’s education.

4. Any other children.

Special Circumstances - The following groups of children will be given special consideration in their application to the school:

• Children whose particular medical needs, mobility support needs, special educational needs or social circumstances are supported by written evidence from a doctor, social worker or other relevant professional stating that the school is the only school which could cater for the child’s particular needs. The evidence must be presented at the time of application.

• Children with a statement of Special Education Needs which names Cotgrave Church of England Primary School will be allocated a place.

Additional Information

• Within Criterion 2, governors will differentiate priority according to whether the family are: ‘at the heart of the church’ (worshipping usually at least twice per month); ‘attached to the church’ (worshipping usually monthly or involved in regular weekday church activities which include an element of worship); or ‘known to the church’ (worshipping occasionally, known through a family connection or involved in regular weekday church activity which does not include an element of worship)

• Within Criteria 2, 3 and 4, governors will give priority to children who have a sibling (as defined by the Local Authority) attending the school at the time of admission.

• Within Criterion 3 we warmly welcome children from families of other faiths or of no faith at all who wish their child(ren) to be educated within a school with a religious character.

In the event of oversubscription within any criterion, and after priority has been given to siblings, preference will be given to children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies. The distance will be measured in a straight line from the front door of the child’s home address to the main entrance of the school using the Local Authority’s computerised measuring system with those living closer to the school receiving the higher priority.

Admission criteria 2012/2013. 1. Children in public care

1.1 Places will be allocated to any Relevant Looked After Child (as described in Section 22 of the Children Act 1989) which will reduce the number of places available to other applicants.

2. Community places (at least 80% of the total places available in any admission year)

2.1 Places will be allocated to applicants who at the time of admission will have a brother or sister* attending the school

2.2 Places will then be given to other applicants

3. Foundation places (no more than 20% of the total places available in any admission year)

For each of the following criteria preference will be given to those applicants who have expressed a wish for Church School education and who can demonstrate a commitment to this. Parents will explain their commitment by completing extra questions on a supplementary application form. Parent(s) and child(ren) must have attended a place of worship, within Churches Together in England or the Evangelical Alliance, at least monthly on average over the past two years, in order to be considered for a Foundation Place. Additional preference will be given to those who also attended other activities outside of Sunday services during the last two years. A reference will be sought from the family’s church minister to confirm their frequency of attendance.

131




3.1 Places will be allocated to applicants who at the time of admission will have a brother or sister* attending the school

3.2 Places will then be given to other applicants

* The term ‘brother or sister’ includes all children normally resident in the same household who are regarded as members of the same family


The following groups of children will be given special consideration in their application for a place at the school;

• Children who have a statement of special educational needs in which this school is named will be admitted. This will reduce the number of places available to other applicants.

• Children who have other particular medical needs, mobility support needs, special educational needs or social circumstances which are supported by written evidence from a doctor, social worker, or other relevant professionals at the time of application. The definition of special educational need will relate to a learning difficulty which calls for special educational provision to be made for the child. Each case will be determined on its own merits. Taking account of the special circumstances the Governors may accord a higher priority to the applicant with regard to any or all of the above criteria.

offered 255 Number of preferences approved 290 Preferences refused and placed on waiting list 51 Please contact school for the number of appeals held and the outcomes


Children for whom Arnold Hill is the named school in a statement of special educational needs will automatically be allocated a place, providing the school can meet the specific needs. The Governing Body cannot guarantee a place at the school for any other category of application.

Arnold Hill is a very popular school and we cannot always accommodate all the children who apply. If the school is oversubscribed, the following criteria will be used to determine the allocation of places:

1. Children in public care who are ‘looked after’ at the time an application for admission is made and who the local authority can confirm will still be looked after at the time of admission to the school

2. Children with a statement of special education need that names Arnold Hill School

Subsequently, where the number of applications for admission exceeds the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied in the order set out below, to decide which children to admit:

1. Children who live in the catchment area on the closing date for applications as part of the co-ordinated admissions scheme in the year preceding admission to secondary school

2. Children who attend the Arnold Hill Family of Schools: Arno Vale Junior; Arnold View; Arnbrook; Coppice Farm; Ernehale; Mapperley Plains; who were on the roll of, and in regular attendance at, one of those schools on the last day of the Summer Term of Year 5 preceding their intended admission to Arnold Hill and intend to remain on the roll of that school until the end of Year 6

3. Children who live outside the catchment area and who have been on the pupil roll of a linked primary phase school for 12 months preceding the closing date for applications as part of the co-ordinated admissions scheme in the year preceding admission to secondary school

4. Other children who live outside the catchment area

Proximity to school

In the event of an over-subscription of any of the above criteria proximity to the school will be used with those living nearer being given priority. Distance measurements to be made ‘as the crow flies’ from the front gate of the pupil’s registered home address to the reception office of the main school.


Special consideration will be given to:

1. Children with an exceptional level of need with regard to a physical disability provided written evidence form a registered health professional such as a doctor is received at the time of application. The school has poor access for students with a physical disability however we form part of the local authority’s strategic plan to improve access for a child with physical disability

2. Children of nomadic travellers that live within the catchment area will be given special consideration

3. Requests from the local area pupil placement panel for ‘hard to place children’ will be given special consideration

The governors of the school will consider each application on its merits in consultation with the local authority. Cases agreed under ‘special circumstances’ will take precedence over all of the numbered criteria.

138


Sixth form admission criteria

The admission number for the Post-16 centre will be 200, of which we anticipate the minimum number of applications to Year 12 from outside the school will be 30.

Arnold Hill School Post-16 presently offers A levels and a range of vocational courses. Subsequently, we propose the following admissions criteria:

• 5 GCSEs at Grades A* - C.

• A minimum of Grade C in a related GCSE for academic level 3 courses.

• A minimum of Grade C (or equivalent) in a relevant subject for Applied courses.

These requirements do not include English oral grades or GCSE half course grades.

There will be no upper limit for applications to year 12 from outside the school. A meeting will be held to advise and clarify entrance requirements for particular courses.

Over-subscription for the Post 16 centre

Where the number of applications for admission exceeds the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied in the order set out below, to decide which children to admit:

1 Children in public care who are ‘looked after’ at the time an application for admission is made and who the local authority can confirm will still be looked after at the time of admission to the school

2 Children who already attend the school and meet the entry criteria

3 In the event of an over-subscription of the above criteria and for all other applications, proximity to the school will be used with those living nearer being given priority. Distance measurements to be made ‘as crow flies’ from the home address to the main reception of the school

Where applications are received in respect of twins, triplets or children of other multiple births, Arnold Hill School will endeavour to offer/places at the school admitting above the planned admission number where necessary. If this is not possible, the parent/carer will be asked which child(ren) should take up the place(s). The parent/carer will still have a right of appeal against a refusal of a place.

1. Music - someone with Grade 5 Theory and Grade 5 Practical will be considered to have attained the equivalent of Grade B GCSE.

2. Art - a portfolio of work will be assessed and a written statement from one of the Art teachers of the school that this is the equivalent of Grade B will be required

requirements 5. Further Maths – Grade A in GCSE Maths is a minimum requirement 6. Mathematics – Grade B at GCSE Maths (Higher Level) 7. Economics/Business Studies – relevant subject: History, Geography or English and Grade C in Maths is a

minimum requirement 8. History/Geography – where not studied at GCSE, a Grade B in the other subject or English is a minimum

requirement 9. Sociology/Psychology – Grade B in English or History or Geography is a minimum requirement (as well as

At the end of Year 12 students will normally be allowed to proceed to A2 only in those subjects in which they have attained at least a grade D at AS level.

Information & Guidance Meeting - Prospective students will be invited to attend an information and guidance meeting with their parents to discuss the suitability of particular subjects and combinations of subjects. Offers of places will not be made on the basis of the meeting, but in accordance with the stated criteria.

Children for whom Carlton le Willows Academy is the named school in a statement of special education need will be automatically offered a place at the school. The Governing Body of the school cannot guarantee a place at the school for any other category of application.

Over-Subscription

Where the number of applicants for admission exceeds the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied in the order set out below, to decide which children to admit:

1 Children in public care as defined by section 22 of the Children’s Act, 1989.

142


2 Applicants who can establish exceptional medical, social or humanitarian grounds (e.g. a learning, behavioural or mobility difficulty which calls for special educational provision) relating to the child or to the circumstances of the family. Supporting written evidence from a doctor and/or other relevant professional agencies must be provided at the time of application, together with details of the particular reasons why it is considered that Carlton le Willows is the most suitable school and the difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend another school. Each case will be considered on its merits and the Governing Body may seek any independent specialist advice deemed necessary.

3 Children who live in the catchment area and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school.

4 Other children who live in the catchment area.

5 Children who live outside the catchment area, but who are attending a linked primary phase school on 31 October preceding admission to secondary school and who will have a brother or sister at the preferred secondary school at the time of admission.

6 Children who live outside the catchment area and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the preferred secondary school.

7 Children who live outside the catchment area but who are attending a linked primary phase school on 31 October preceding admission to secondary school.

8 Other children who live outside the catchment area.

Note: If applications exceed the number of places available, the school will operate a waiting list in which priority for places will be given on the basis of the above criteria. The child’s place on the waiting list may go up or down depending on whether places become available or if late or mid-term applications are received. The Governors of the school, in partnership with the Local Authority, will administer the waiting list for the duration of the co-ordinated admissions scheme. Once the co-ordinated scheme is closed, the waiting list will remain open but will be administered by the Governors of the school for one year. All applications for places in the normal year of entry are made on the common application form together with a supplementary form which is available from the school and is contained within the prospectus.

Measuring distance ‘as the crow flies’

In the event of over-subscription within any criterion, preference will be given to children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies. Distances are measured from the entrance to the child’s home to the principal entrance to the main administrative building of the school by the Local Authority which currently uses the ‘Arcview’ system.

Admission to the Sixth Form including admission number for those admitted for the first time.

To be accepted on to Level 3 courses, pupils will need five or more GCSE passes at Grade C or above (or equivalent) and be able to provide evidence that they are able to complete any necessary coursework and meet deadlines. For certain subjects, a GCSE Grade B is required. (See Sixth Form Prospectus.) The school does not currently actively recruit into its Sixth Form. Applications are handled in the same way as other applications outside the normal year of entry. Any applicant refused entry can appeal against the decision. Should oversubscription criteria be required, they will be as for Year 7, with the exception of Criteria 5 & 7.

Admissions Criteria 2012/2013

In accordance with the Code of Admissions, children with a statement of special education needs that names Chilwell School will be admitted.

If the school is oversubscribed, the following criteria will be used to determine the allocation of places. In the event

143


of over subscription within any particular category, proximity to the school measured ‘as the crow flies’ from the entrance of the child’s home to the principal entrance of the main administrative building of the school will be used as the determining factor.

1. Children in public care who are ‘looked after’ at the time an application for admission is made and who the local authority can confirm will still be looked after at the time of admission to the school.

2. Children who attend the Chilwell Family of Schools (College House Junior School, John Clifford Primary School and Rylands Junior School) who were on the roll at the time of application and who were still on roll on the closing date for applications. Within this category first priority will be given to those who will have a brother or sister attending Chilwell School at the time of admission. Where applications are received in respect of twins, triplets or children of other multiple births from the Chilwell family we will endeavour to offer the relevant number of places admitting above the planned admission number where appropriate.

3. Children not attending the Chilwell Family of Schools who will have a brother or sister attending Chilwell School at the time of admission. Where applications are received in respect of twins, triplets or children of other multiple births we will endeavour to offer the relevant number of places admitting above the planned admission number where appropriate.

4. Remaining places will be allocated on proximity to the school measured ‘as the crow flies’ from the entrance to the child’s home to the principal entrance of the main administrative building of the school.

Special circumstances Special consideration will be given to children with an exceptional level of need with regard to a physical or medical disability provided written evidence from a registered health professional such as a doctor, is received at the time of application. We are a pathways school and have good access for students with physical disabilities. Requests from the local area pupil placement panel for ‘hard to place children’ will be given special consideration. The governors of the school will consider each application on its merits in consultation with the local authority. Cases agreed under ‘special circumstances’ will take precedence over all of the numbered criteria.

Sixth Form Admissions

The admission number for year 12 entry into the sixth form is 150. Admissions into the Sixth Form will be allocated to those who have applied by the closing date taking regard to the following factors set out in order of priority:

1. Students in public care who are ‘looked after’ at the time an application for admission is made and who the local authority confirm will still be ‘looked after’ at the time of admission to school.

2. Pupils transferring from within Chilwell School who meet the school’s minimum entry requirements; such students are guaranteed a place irrespective of numbers.

3. Pupils transferring from other schools who meet the school’s minimum entry requirements (At least 20 places will be available for pupils transferring from other schools.).

In the event of there being more applicants than places available in 3 above, the deciding factors will be, in order of priority:

(i) Whether there is a brother or sister on Chilwell School roll at the time of entry to the Sixth Form. Where applications are received in respect of twins, triplets or children of other multiple births we will endeavour to offer the relevant number of places admitting above the planned admission number where appropriate.

(ii) Pupils who live nearest to the school ‘as the crow flies’ with distances measured from the entrance to the pupil’s home to the principal entrance of the main administrative building of the school. In the event of the two distances being exactly equal resulting in the PAN being exceeded then random allocation by lot will be conducted by a body of Chilwell School

Children for whom George Spencer is the named school in a statement of special educational needs will automatically be allocated a place. The Governing Body cannot guarantee a place at the school for any other category of application.

147




George Spencer is a very popular school and we cannot always accommodate all the children who apply. The following criteria will be used to determine the allocation of places for applications made as part of the national coordinated scheme for admissions:

1. Children in public care who are “looked after” at the time of application and will continue to be so at the time admission, as confirmed by the local authority.

2. Applicants who can establish exceptional medical or special educational needs (i.e. a learning or behavioural difficulty, which calls for special educational provision) relating to their child. Supporting written evidence from a doctor and/or from other relevant professional agencies must be provided at the time of application. Each case will be determined on its merits.

3. Children who attend the George Spencer Family of Schools: Fairfield School Stapleford, Chetwynd Road or Bispham Drive Schools in Toton, who were on the roll of one of those schools at the time of the initial application.

4. Children not attending the George Spencer Family of Schools who have a sibling attending George Spencer School at the time of admission.

5. Remaining places will be allocated according to proximity to the school with those living nearer being given priority. Distance is measured “as the crow flies” from the centre of the school footbridge to the child’s permanent home address.

In the event of oversubscription in any of the above criteria, proximity to the school will be used as a tie-breaker. Proof of residence may be required.

ADMISSION TO GEORGE SPENCER SIXTH FORM COLLEGE INCLUDING THE ADMISSION NUMBER FOR THOSE ADMITTED FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR SEPTEMBER 2012

The maximum admission number for the George Spencer Academy will be 150. We anticipate a minimum of 15 places will be available for external students entering Year 12.

George Spencer Academy offers mainly “A” level and some vocational courses. Our policy is to ensure that students accepted into George Spencer Academy whether internally from Year 11 or from other establishments can be placed on appropriate courses where they are likely to succeed. To facilitate this all applicants will have a meeting with a college member of staff to discuss the most suitable courses of study.

Those seeking admission to George Spencer Academy will be expected to have:

• a minimum of 5 A*-C including English and Mathematics GCSE at grade C or above;

• an average capped point score in their GCSE studies of at least 42;

• a high GCSE grade, preferably a B grade or above, in each of the preferred choice subjects.

Acceptance onto certain courses will depend on a combination of appropriate Level 2 qualifications.

Meeting the requirements of any course does not automatically guarantee that applicants will be offered places on the preferred choices.

Oversubscription

Where the number of applications for admission exceeds the number of places, the following criteria will be applied in the order set out below, to decide which students to admit.

• Students in care who meet the academic entry criteria

• Students who already attend the school and meet the academic entry criteria

• Proximity to the school with those living nearest the school being given priority. Distance is measured “as the crow flies” from the centre of the school footbridge to the child’s permanent home address.

Following a re-evaluation of the school’s net capacity by the local authority as a result of accommodation changes, the admission number for Year 7 in September, 2011 is 208. In view of this change in circumstances, the Governors will consider any application above this number in any year group to satisfy themselves that further admission does not prejudice the provision of efficient education or the efficient use of resources. Children for whom The Joseph Whitaker School is the named school in a statement of special educational need will be automatically offered a place at the school. The Governing Body of the school cannot guarantee a place at the school for any other category of application.

3. Applicants who can establish exceptional medical or social grounds (e.g. a learning, behavioural or mobility difficulty which calls for special educational provision) or humanitarian grounds within the requirements of the Human Rights Act, 1998 relating to the child or to the circumstances of the family.

5. Children not attending the Joseph Whitaker Family of Schools who have a brother or sister attending The Joseph Whitaker School.

6. Remaining places will be allocated on proximity to the school measured „as the crow flies from the entrance to the child’s home to the principle entrance of the main administrative building of the school.

As required by the regulations of 2005, children for whom The Kimberley School is the named school in a statement of special educational need will be automatically offered a place at the school. The Governing Body of the school cannot guarantee a place at the school for any other category of application.

If the school is oversubscribed, the following criteria will be used to determine allocation of places. In the event of oversubscription in any of the categories, proximity to the school measured ‘as the crow flies’ from the entrance of the child’s home to the principal entrance of the main administrative building of the school will be used as the determining factor.

1. Children in public care who are ‘looked after’ at the time an application for admission is made and who the Local Authority confirm will still be ‘looked after’ at the time of admission to school as also required by the regulations of 2005.

2. Children who attend The Kimberley Family of Schools who were on the role at the time of application and who were still on roll on the closing date for applications. Within this category first priority will be given to those who will have a brother or sister attending The Kimberley School at the time of admission.

4. Remaining places will be allocated on proximity to the school measured ‘as the crow flies’ from the entrance to the child’s home to the principal entrance of the main administrative building of the school.

NB. Applicants who establish exceptional medical or special educational needs (i.e. a learning or behavioural difficulty which calls for special educational provision) relating to the child. Supporting written evidence from a doctor and/or other relevant professional agencies must be provided at the time of application. This should be accompanied by full supporting evidence setting out the particular reasons why it is considered that The Kimberley School is the most suitable school and outlining the difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend another school. The Governing Body will seek to assess the evidence presented objectively and may seek any independent specialist advice deemed necessary.

Each case will be considered on its merits and the Governors will seek to ensure that where there is a prior need for potential support or for reasonable adjustment to be made in admitting a child with special educational needs or disabilities, these will be addressed as quickly as is practical so that the child can be placed quickly.

Sixth Form Admissions

Admissions into the Sixth Form will be allocated to those who have applied, taking regard to the following factors set out in order of priority:

Admissions criteria 2012/2013


The following groups of children will be given special consideration:

• Students who have a Statement of Special Educational Needs where The Minster School is named in the child’s Statement will be admitted

• Children in public care (as defined by Section 22 of the Children’s Act 1989) at the time of entry to the school will be admitted

• Children whose particular medical needs, mobility support needs, special educational needs or social circumstances are supported by written evidence from a doctor, social worker or other relevant professional at the time of application, and where it can be demonstrated that the Minster School can meet these needs more effectively than other schools. The Governing Body will, in consultation with the Head, consider each case on its merits and determine the allocation of any such places.

Cases agreed under ‘special circumstances’ will take precedence over Criteria “a”, “b” and “c”. Aptitude is not considered to be a Special Circumstance.

FOUNDATION PLACES

Up to 70 FOUNDATION PLACES: to be allocated in order of priority to those who have applied by the closing date, the Governors having regard to the following factors set out in order of priority:

(i) Students transferring from the Minster School Junior Department (who will automatically transfer into Y7), (excluding students who withdraw from the Choir, and will no longer be guaranteed a place in Year 7, in such cases parents must apply through the normal process for entry into Year 7)

*(ii) Whether either parent and/or child currently worships at least monthly at a Church of England Church as a communicant and for how long.

*(iii) Whether either parent and/or child currently worships at least monthly at a Church of England Church and for how long, but who are not communicants.

In the event of there being more applicants than places available for Foundation applicants, the deciding factors will be whether there is a brother or sister on the school roll at the time of entry to the school and then, if a further distinction is needed, the straight line distance from home to the school reception as measured by the Local Authority using computer software.

In the event of fewer than 70 Foundation places being awarded, the balance of the 70 places will become available to applicants in the remaining criteria, using the existing priorities for awarding places.

* Applicants for Foundation Places under these criteria are advised that the school will request information, via the parents, from their Minister of Religion. Please contact the school if you require further guidance on this or any other issue.

(b) CATCHMENT PLACES: for children who live in the following civil parishes:

Bleasby Halam Kirklington Normanton Goverton Hockerton Morton Southwell Maplebeck Rolleston Farnsfield Edingley

154


Thurgarton Caunton Fiskerton Halloughton Winkburn Upton

NB It is residence in the listed civil parishes which is relevant, not the Primary School attended.

In the event of there being more applicants than places available for Catchment applicants, the deciding factors will be whether there is a brother or sister on the school roll at the time of entry to the school and the, if a further distinction is needed, the straight line distance from home to the school reception.

(c) PARENTAL PREFERENCES

If, having awarded places to all valid applicants for Foundation and Catchment places, the number of places awarded is below 240, Governors will consider applications from parents where the application does not come under category (a) or (b).

In the event of there being more Parental Preference applicants Governors will have regard to the following factors set out in order of priority:

(i) Whether there is a brother or sister on the school roll at the time of entry to the school.

* (ii) Whether either parent and / or child worships at least monthly at a Christian Church, and for how long.

* (iii) Whether either parent and / or child worships at least monthly within another faith community and for how long

In the event of a distinction needing to be drawn between applicants the deciding factor will be the straight line distance from home to the school reception.

* Applicants under this criterion are advised that the school will request information, via the parents, from their Minister of Religion or faith community leader. Please contact the school if you require further guidance on this or any other issue.

In the event of over-subscription, the following criteria will be applied by the Governing Body in priority order, to determine which applications will be granted after places have been first allocated to children with statements in which the school is named. Unusual or casual admissions to the school (including traveller children of gypsy or Romany families) outside of the normal round are dealt with by the headteacher where places exist.

1. Looked After Children

2. Children who are attending the Hucknall National C of E Primary School and Linby-cum-Papplewick C of E Primary School on the closing date for secondary transfer applications.

3. Children will then be prioritized using the following criteria:

5. Remaining places will be allocated to children who live nearest to the school, measured as the crow flies

In the event of over-subscription within any criterion, preference will be given to children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies. Distances are measured, using the County Council’s software, from the entrance to the child’s home to the main school ‘IN’ gate.


Pupils who have a statement of special educational need, where this school is named in the child’s statement will be admitted. In this event, the number of places that remain available for allocation will be reduced.

Consideration will be given to applicants who can establish particular medical, special educational need, disability needs or social grounds relating to their child. Supporting written evidence from a doctor, social worker or other relevant professionals must be provided at the time of application.

Special circumstances may take precedence over the numbered criteria set out above.

The school will also admit children in accordance with decisions through the locally agreed Protocol for Hard to Place Pupils.

Admission to the Sixth Form

Admission to the Sixth Form is open to all applicants meeting the admission criteria and is not restricted to students from the National School. Subject criteria will be outlined each year in the subject prospectus.

Students can apply to be admitted either to the two year course or the one year course.

Students who apply for the two year course will be expected to follow, as a minimum, a four AS level / three A-level combination of subjects. The minimum entry requirement for this course is 3 B grades and 2 C grades at GCSE in relevant subjects. It is expected that students will have achieved a B grade in the subjects that they wish to complete over the course of two years.

Students who apply for the one year course leading to AS levels will require a minimum of 1 B grade and 4 C grades at GCSE in relevant subjects. Transfer to Year 13 and A2 level courses will be dependent upon satisfactory completion of the one year course as indicated by AS results and at the discretion of the subject leader and 14-19 Curriculum Manager.

For vocational courses the minimum entry requirement will be 5 C grades at GCSE.

Students who fail to meet the minimum entry requirements for either the two year course or the one year course will have their application considered on an individual basis.

It is anticipated that the sixth form capacity will be 150 students per year group with provision for a maximum of 30 external students

Oversubscription criteria for students who meet the minimum entrance requirements are as follows:

a) Looked after children

b) Children who have worshiped at a Church of England Church at least once a month for the previous 12 months.

c) Children who have worshipped at any Christian Church which is a member of Churches Together in England at least once a month for the previous 12 months.

d) Children who have worshipped at a place of worship of another recognised world faith at least once a month for the previous 12 months.

ADMISSION POLICY 2012/2013

Children for whom Quarrydale Foundation School is the named school in a statement of special education need will be automatically offered a place at the school. The Governing Body of the school cannot guarantee a place at the school for any other category of application.

Over-Subscription

Where the number of applicants for admission exceeds the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied in the order set out below, to decide which children to admit:

1 Children in public care as defined by section 22 of the Children’s Act, 1989.

2 Applicants who can establish exceptional medical, social or humanitarian grounds (e.g. a learning, behavioural or mobility difficulty which calls for special educational provision) relating to the child or to the circumstances of the family. Supporting written evidence from a doctor and/or other relevant professional agencies must be provided at the time of application, together with details of the particular reasons why it is considered that Quarrydale is the most suitable school and the difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend another school. Each case will be considered on its merits and the Governing Body may seek any independent specialist advice deemed necessary.

3 Children who live in the catchment area and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school.

4 Other children who live in the catchment area.

5 Children who live outside the catchment area, but who are attending a linked primary phase school (see list at the end) on the closing date for secondary applications (31 October) and who will have a brother or sister at the preferred secondary school at the time of admission.

6 Children who live outside the catchment area and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the preferred secondary school.

7 Children who live outside the catchment area but who are attending a linked primary phase school on the closing date for secondary applications (31 October).

8 Other children who live outside the catchment area.

Note: If applications exceed the number of places available, the school will operate a waiting list in which priority for places will be given on the basis of the above criteria. The child’s place on the waiting list may go up or down depending on whether places become available or if late or mid-term applications are received. The Governors of the school, in partnership with the Local Authority, will administer the waiting list for the duration of the coordinated admissions scheme. Once the co-ordinated scheme is closed, the waiting list will remain open but will be administered by the Governors of the school for one year. All applications for places in the normal year of entry are made on the common application form.

Measuring distance “as the crow flies”

In the event of over-subscription with any criterion, preference will be given to children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies. Distances are measured from the entrance to the child’s home to the principal entrance to the main administrative building of the school by the Local Authority which currently uses the ‘Arcview’ system.

Admission to the Sixth Form including admission number for those admitted for the first time

To be accepted on to Level 3 courses, pupils will need five or more GCSE passes at Grade C or above (or equivalent) and be able to provide evidence that they are able to complete any necessary coursework and meet deadlines. For certain subjects, a GCSE Grade B is required. (See Sixth Form Prospectus.) The school does not currently actively recruit into its Sixth Form. Applications are handled in the same way as other applications outside the normal year of entry. Any applicant refused entry can appeal against the decision. Should oversubscription criteria be required, they will be as for Year 7, with the exception of Criteria 5 and 7.

After the admission of pupils with statements of Special Educational Needs where The Samworth Church Academy is

named on the statement, the criteria will be applied in the order in which they are set out below:

a) Children in public care

b) Children with a sibling who currently attends the school and who will continue to do so on the date of admission; the term sibling includes a child living in the same household under the care of the same parent(s) or guardian(s) and children not normally resident in the same household but sharing a genetic or adoptive parent.

162


c) Children who are normally resident within the area designated by The Samworth Church Academy as its catchment area

d) Other children

In the event of over-subscription within any of the criteria, preference will be given to children who live nearest to the school using straight line measurement from the main external entrance door of the Academy to the main external entrance door to the child’s home.


Admissions into sixth form will be allocated to those who have applied by the closing date taking regard to the following factors set out in order of priority

Pupils transferring from within The Samworth Church Academy who meet the school’s minimum entry requirements; such students are guaranteed a place irrespective of numbers.

Pupils who transfer from other schools who meet the school’s minimum entry requirement (up to a maximum number of 250 in Years 12 and 13)

In the event of there being more students than places in 2. above the deciding factors will be in order or priority:

ii. Whether there is a brother or sister on the roll of The Samworth Church Academy at the time of entry to the Sixth Form

iii. Pupils who live nearest to the Academy using a straight line distance from the main entrance of the Academy to the main entrance of the pupil’s residence

Over-Subscription

Where the number of applications for admission exceeds the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied in the order set out below.

• Children with a statement of special educational needs that names South Nottinghamshire Academy will be admitted.

• Children who live in the catchment area on the closing date for applications as part of the co-ordinated admissions scheme in the year preceding admission to secondary school.

Level 3 Entry Requirements

Students wishing to study ‘AS’ qualifications will need to have achieved at least a grade ‘B’ in their chosen subject. Students with grade ‘Cs’ will be considered on a one by one basis. Students following a full package of ‘AS’ qualifications will normally also have at least 5 x GCSEs at grade ‘C’ or above. Where students have fewer grades at this level, a personalised package of both Level 3 and 2 qualifications can be put together to suit the learner’s profile.

BTEC Level 3 courses will require students to attain a range of about 4 grade ‘C’ GCSE passes

Level 2 Entry Requirements

Level 2 courses are available to students who have demonstrated a good attitude to learning and a willingness to succeed having achieved a range of GCSE passes mainly at grade ‘D’ and below.

Children in public care who are ‘looked after’ at the time an application for admission is made and who the local authority can confirm will still be looked after at the time of admission to the school.

Children with a statement of special education needs that names the West Bridgford School will be admitted.

Subsequently, where the number of applications for admission exceeds the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied in the order set out below, to decide which children to admit:

1.0 Children who live in the catchment area on the closing date for applications as part of the co-ordinated admissions scheme in the year preceding admission to secondary school.

Places will be allocated in the first instance to children, who at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school in years 7-11.

2.0 For children outside the catchment area up to 22 (10%) of places will be offered to those who can demonstrate an aptitude for Technology and could therefore benefit from the distinctive education offered by the West Bridgford School as a specialist technology school.

The parents of those students whose entry is to be based on technological aptitude will be required to present their child for the Assessment (one hour) at The West Bridgford School in the year preceding entry, details of which will be published within the school’s prospectus.

3.0 Children who live outside the catchment area and who are attending a linked primary phase school on (date to be confirmed) preceding admission to secondary school. The linked primary schools are Greythorn, Heymann, Jesse Gray and West Bridgford Junior.

4.0 Other children who live outside the catchment area.

Proximity to school

In the event of an over-subscription of any of the above criteria proximity to the school will be used with those living nearer being given priority. Distance measurements to be made ‘as the crow flies’ from the home address to the main reception office of the school.

Special circumstances

Special consideration will be given to children with an exceptional level of need with regard to a physical disability provided written evidence from a registered health professional such as a doctor, is received at the time of application. The school has good access for students with a physical disability and we form part of the local authority’s strategic plan to improve access for child with physical disability.

Children of nomadic travellers that live within the catchment area will be given special consideration.

Requests from the local area pupil placement panel for ‘hard to place children’ will be given special consideration.

The governors of the school will consider each application on its merits in consultation with the local authority. Cases agreed under ‘special circumstances’ will take precedence over all of the numbered criteria.

Technological Aptitude Assessment

Parents who wish to seek a place for the child at the school based upon technological aptitude are asked to present their child for the assessment on the following dates:

• Saturday, 8 October 2011 (provisional)

• Monday, 10 October 2011 (provisional)

• Saturday, 15 October 2011 (provisional)

Arrival time for each day will be 8.45 am. The assessment will start at 9.00 am

Parents who wish their child to take the assessment should request, complete and return an assessment application form, which is available from the school, 7 days before the assessment. Further information regarding the assessment will then be provided. Please note, sitting the assessment is not considered an application in itself. Results of the assessment will be provided before parents have to complete the CAF (Common Application Form).

The admission number for the Post-16 centre will be 170.

The West Bridgford School Post-16 centre presently only offers ‘A’ level courses. Subsequently we propose the following admissions criteria:

3 AS level subjects plus General Studies - 3 GCSEs at grade B or above in subjects to be studied plus a further 2 or more GCSEs at grade C or above.

4 AS level subjects plus Genera Studies - 2 GCSEs at grade A/A* and 2 at grade B (or higher) in the subjects to be studied plus 1 or more GCSEs at grade C or above.

These requirements do not include English oral grades or GCSE half course grades.

Students will only be considered if they have achieved a minimum of grade C at GCSE level in both English and Mathematics.

167

The maximum number of places from external candidates for Post-16 entry in year 12 will be 25.

LISTENING TO YOU

We hope you are happy with the education your child receives. Please talk to us if you have any problems or comments. You can get information about how to complain from our website www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk.

If, however, you are not happy with the way you are treated or the way that your comments are dealt with, you have the right to complain and to know that your complaint is being handled correctly.

COMPLAINTS ABOUT SCHOOLS

Each school is generally responsible for considering its own complaints. If you have a complaint about a school, you should first discuss it with the head teacher. If you are not satisfied with the head teacher’s response, or if your complaint is about the head teacher, then you should ask the school governing body to consider your complaint.

OTHER COMPLAINTS

If your complaint is about Nottinghamshire Local Authority or the actions of our staff, there is a separate complaints procedure. This procedure is set out in our leaflet ‘Listening to you’. You can get copies from libraries or any County Council office.

You are entitled to complain to the Local Government Ombudsman if you think we have managed anything inefficiently or badly. However, the Ombudsman would normally expect you to have followed our complaints procedure before considering your complaint.

DISCLAIMER

Nottinghamshire County Council is committed to the highest standards of quality of information and makes every effort to ensure that information is accurate. All information contained in this publication was correct at the time of printing but may be subject to amendment at a later date.
