Flintshire Schools Policy and Process for Admissions to Schools

Flintshire Schools

The County Council, as the Local Authority, is responsible for determining the arrangements for admissions, and for admissions to all Community Primary, Secondary and Special Schools and Voluntary Controlled Schools. The LA will consult annually with school Governing Bodies and the Diocesan Education Authorities in relation to admissions. The LA will comply with statutory requirements and will give full recognition to the expression of parental preference, and, in the case of sixth form admissions, to the expression of a preference by a young person, in the context of its duty to ensure the provision of effective education and the efficient use of education resources. The LA will admit pupils up to the Admission Number and will not refuse applicants for a particular school unless that school has reached its Admission Number. The Admission Number for each school relates to the number of children that can be admitted to each year group during the school year. The Admission Number for each school is indicated on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Schools Listâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (see centre pages). The LA will not, however, expand a school to meet demand which does not comply with the admissions criteria.

Flintshire Schools Admissions Procedure

Flintshire Schools

The annual admissions procedure applicable to the relevant age group will include the following stages: G

Publication of the ‘Guide to Education Services’.

Arrangements to enable parents to express a preference for a school they wish their child/children to attend, and, in the case of sixth form admissions, expression of a preference by a young person.

Consideration of preferences in accordance with the admissions criteria, up to the Admission Number for each school.

Please Note Expressing a preference does not guarantee a place at your chosen school if that school is oversubscribed. If more parents apply for places at the school than the number of places available, the Authority will apply the oversubscription criteria for allocating places as set out in this Guide.

All applications received by the closing date will be considered collectively and assessed against the Authority’s criteria. Late applications received before offers of places are made, will be considered using the same published criteria. However, should a school be over-subscribed then any late applications will be considered after those received by the cut off date, unless the Local Authority considers that there are good reasons for the application being late, which must be stated at the time of the application, i.e. exceptional medical reasons preventing an earlier application, recent move into the area, etc. Supporting documentation must be provided. This means that you may have less opportunity to be to be allocated to your preferred school if you send your form after the closing date. Please note administration dates of neighbouring counties may be different to those above but Flintshire LA will work closely with neighbouring LAs to coordinate admission arrangements. If the school, for which you wish to express a preference, is in another county, please contact the respective LA to ensure you do not miss the closing date.

Flintshire Schools Admissions Criteria

Flintshire Schools

The LA will comply with its duty to ensure the provision of effective education and the efficient use of resources. In so doing, the LA will have regard to the total resources, including accommodation and staffing, available to each school and any constraints imposed by the school organisation and curriculum. It will also consider the resource implications for the authority and impact on other education policies. Should the number of applications for a place at the school be greater than the Admission Number of the year group, then the application will be considered in a priority order as set out below.

Admissions Policy for Early Entitlement to Education A part-time education place is available for every child the term after his/her third birthday. Children born in… Autumn Term

Entitled to… 2 terms of educational provision (Spring and Summer)

Spring Term 1 term of educational provision (Summer) Summer Term

These children receive their education entitlement in the school nursery classes in the Autumn term after their 3rd birthday.

Children born in the Summer term receive their education entitlement in the school nursery classes in the Autumn term after their 3rd birthday. Parents may state a preference for an approved setting which may be a pre school playgroup (English or Welsh), a private day nursery, a ‘network’ childminder or school nursery class. Application for a place is made directly to the setting. Forms are available all year.

Notes: 1. Admission to an Early Entitlement setting at a particular school does not guarantee subsequent admission to nursery at that school. 2. No transport is provided.

For further information on approved settings please contact: The Early Years Advisor, Tel: 01352 704104.

Flintshire Schools Nursery Criteria to be applied by the Authority for Nursery Admissions

Flintshire Schools

A child becomes eligible for a place at a nursery class in the September following the child’s 3rd birthday. Nursery education is not compulsory and parents have no right of appeal regarding nursery admissions under the School Standards and Framework Act 1998.

Nursery schooling in all schools/units will be provided on the basis of 5 x 2.5 hour sessions per week for each child. Parents may express a preference for any nursery irrespective of where the child’s home is in relation to the school. However, expressing a preference does not guarantee a place at that nursery. In the event of oversubscription, applications for nursery places will be dealt with by applying the admissions criteria in respect of primary schools as set out in this Guide. When making the decision about the ‘nearest suitable school’ the Authority will accept only the pupil’s home address and not that, for example, of childminder or grandparents. Parents will be asked to provide official documentation showing home address. Parents are advised that a school place may be lawfully withdrawn if the information given on their application form is fraudulent or misleading. Application forms for nursery school admission are available from headteachers at all nursery/infant/primary schools. The forms will be available according to Admissions timetable as set out in this Guide.

Notes: 1. Admission to a nursery class at a particular Infant or Primary School does not guarantee subsequent admission to reception class at that school. 2. No transport is provided.

Flintshire Schools Primary Admission to Primary Schools in Flintshire

Flintshire Schools

The Authority will admit a child to a maintained infant/primary school at the beginning of the school year if the child has achieved his/her 4th birthday on or before August 31st of that calendar year. Admission is the responsibility of the Director of Lifelong Learning and will be based on the criteria listed below. For pupils transferring from infant to junior school a parental preference form will be sent to each parent/guardian. Parents may express a preference for their nearest junior school or may insert the name of another school should they prefer that school. In accordance with legislation, infant class sizes (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2) are restricted to a limit of no more than 30 per school teacher. In respect of junior classes (Year 3 to Year 6), the target is no more than 30 per school teacher.

Criteria to be applied in order of priority by the Authority for admission to Nursery, Infant, Junior or Primary Schools: Nursery, Infant and Primary Schools: a) the LA will consider the needs of a ‘looked after child’ (child in care) and pupils with a statement of special educational needs which includes a named school b) pupils for whom the preferred school is the nearest appropriate school to the pupil’s home address c) pupils who have expressed a preference for a school which is not the nearest to their home address will be admitted if they have a sister or brother attending the preferred school d) pupils for whom the preferred school is not the nearest to their home address If there are more applicants than places in any of the above categories, priority will be given to applicants living nearest the school, measured from the child’s home address to the recognised main entrance of the school.

Flintshire Schools Junior School Parents of pupils transferring from Infant to Junior School will be given the opportunity to express a preference and places will be allocated using the following criteria:

Flintshire Schools

a) the LA will consider the needs of a ‘looked after child’ (child in care) and pupils with a statement of special educational needs which includes a named school b) pupils for whom the preferred school is the nearest appropriate school to the pupil’s home address c) pupils who have attended the ‘feeder’ infant school and for whom the preferred school is the nearest appropriate school d) pupils who have expressed a preference for a school which is not the nearest to their home address will be admitted if they have a sister or brother attending the preferred school e) pupils who attend the ‘feeder’ infant school but for whom the preferred school is not the nearest to their home address f) pupils for whom the preferred school is not the nearest to their home address

Secondary Admission to a Secondary School in Flintshire Pupils will normally be transferred from a primary to a secondary school in the September following their eleventh birthday. A Parental Preference Form will be sent to each parent, and parents are invited to express a preference for one or more schools and may give a reason for the preference/s. However, where a school is oversubscribed, places will be allocated up to the Admission Number in accordance with the admissions criteria set out in priority order as described below.

It should be noted that transport will only be provided in accordance with the Transport Policy set out in this Guide.

Flintshire Schools Criteria to be applied in order of priority by the Authority for admissions to Secondary Schools:

Flintshire Schools

For entry into a designated secondary school, the following specific arrangements will apply: a)

the LA will consider the needs of a ‘looked after child’ (child in care) and pupils with a statement of special educational needs which includes a named school

pupils for whom the preferred school is the nearest appropriate school to the pupil’s home address

where a preference is expressed for a school other than the nearest to a pupil’s home address, where an older brother or sister is registered and will still be attending when the younger sibling will be starting, the younger sibling will be admitted to that school. The ‘sibling rule’ will only be applied for the statutory period of education i.e. between the Years 7-11 to enable the Local Authority to plan the provision of school places. Where an older sibling is continuing to attend the same secondary school for their Post-16 courses, the Authority will look to apply the ‘sibling rule’ in the case of the younger child

where a preference has been expressed for a school other than the nearest to a pupil’s home address and there is no brother or sister attending that school, pupils will be admitted in order of proximity to that alternative school and up to its Admission Number.

If there are more applicants than places in any of the above categories, priority will be given to applicants living nearest the school, measured from the child’s home address to the recognised main entrance of the school.

The nearest appropriate school is interpreted as: (a) the school nearest to the child’s home measured from child’s home address to the recognised main entrance of the school. (b) the nearest Welsh medium school where parents wish their children to receive their education through the medium of Welsh. (c) the nearest Denominational school where parents wish to have their children educated in a denominational school. The Council uses Routefinder, a network analysis system fully integrated into the Geographical Information System (GIS) software, to calculate home to school distance in miles. The shortest route is calculated from an applicant’s home address to the recognised main entrance of the school.

Flintshire Schools Sibling (brother/sister) A sibling is defined as a full, half, step or foster brother or sister living together as one household at the same address and where the elder sibling is of statutory school age and will still be registered at the preferred school (or, in the case of an infant school, attending the partner junior school) when the younger child is eligible to attend.

Flintshire Schools

Admissions to schools other than those maintained by the LA Parents wishing to express a preference for a school in another county other than Flintshire should still use the Flintshire LA preference form and it will be passed to the relevant neighbouring Authority, with the exception of Cheshire West and Chester Council who request you contact them directly. Please be aware of each Authority’s admission timetable and closing dates.

Accepting or Declining Places Offered Parents will be required to accept or decline the school place offered by returning a proforma by a set deadline. The Local Authority reserves the right to withdraw places not accepted by the deadline.

Waiting Lists If a parent is refused a place for their child at their preferred school during the normal admissions round, the LA will, in agreement with the parent, place the child’s name on a waiting list until 31 August in the school year in which they apply. If additional places become available while the waiting list is in operation, and before any appeals are heard, they will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list in accordance with the oversubscription criteria and not according to the date the application was submitted. Placing a name on a waiting list, however, is not a guarantee of an eventual place at the school applied for and also does not affect the parent’s right of appeal.

Admission of Pupils from outside Flintshire Children residing outside Flintshire will only be admitted in accordance with the stated criteria. See ‘Admissions Criteria’.

Change of School within Flintshire at times other than normal transfer points Schools in Flintshire have an agreed protocol for transfers from one nominated school to another other than at the normal transition point. A parent seeking such a transfer should initially speak to the headteacher of the child’s current school to discuss the reasons for that transfer. If, following this discussion, the parent wishes to continue the process, contact should then be made with the headteacher of the new school. Headteachers will refer parents to an officer of the Local Authority, particularly in cases where pupil numbers in the new school have exceeded the Admission Number in the appropriate year group. In such circumstances admission to the new school may be refused. Parents who are dissatisfied with this may give notice of appeal, as outlined below.

Flintshire Schools Admissions other than at normal entry point For pupils moving into the area at times other than the normal admission round (September of each year), the LA will endeavour to meet parental preferences as far as possible. However, where it is deemed to be prejudicial to the efficient and effective use of resources, parents will be offered a place at an alternative school. The parent may then accept the alternative placement, or may give notice of appeal.

Flintshire Schools

Appeals Procedure If the Authority is unable to comply with the parental preference then the parent will be offered a place at another school. The parent may then accept the alternative placement, or may give notice of appeal. Further details about the appeals process will be made available to parents by contacting the Access Officer (01352 704068). Appeals must be made in writing giving reasons, and sent to the Director of Lifelong Learning. The Authority will initiate the appeals procedure in accordance with the School Standards and Framework Act 1998. The parents, or parent accompanied by a friend if desired, will be given an opportunity to appear before an independent Appeal Panel. The decision of the Independent Appeal Panel will be final and binding on all parties. Details describing the appeals procedure is outlined in a leaflet which is available on request.

Provision for Children with Additional Needs The Authority, with the schools it maintains, makes appropriate and relevant provision for pupils with additional needs. Schools will have regard to the Code of Practice for Special Educational Needs when identifying, assessing and providing for children who have these needs. Some children may require special educational provision which is over and above that which a mainstream school could reasonably be expected to provide. The Authority will assess the needs of such pupils in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the Code of Practice. Where the assessment indicates this to be necessary, it will arrange for extra provision to be made for them. This provision will be included in a statement of special educational need for the child concerned. This document is negotiated with parents and schools. It states the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs and how and where those needs will be met. All Governing Bodies have a Governor with responsibility for the Special Needs Policy, which parents are entitled to see. Each school has an Additional Needs Co-ordinator who oversees the day to day operation of the policy. Parents who wish to discuss any aspect of their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s additional educational needs should first contact his or her Headteacher. The Authority also has a Special Needs Policy, a copy of which is available for interested parents.

Admissions to Special Schools Special Schools will normally only admit pupils with a statement of special educational need issued under the 1996 Education Act. In exceptional circumstances, they will admit pupils, who are being assessed under the 1996 Education Act. The statementing procedure is administered by the Inclusion Service at County Hall. (Telephone: 01352 704028/704029) 17

Flintshire Schools Welsh Language policy for all schools maintained by the Education Authority

Flintshire Schools

The Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Welsh language policy aims to ensure that all pupils reach a standard of bilingualism. It will be the responsibility of the Authority, in conjunction with the Headteacher and the School Governors, to ensure the teaching of both Welsh and English is in accordance with National Curriculum requirements. Primary Education will be provided for all children mainly through the medium of English, or mainly through the medium of Welsh. Secondary Education will be provided for all children mainly through the medium of English, or mainly through the medium of Welsh. To ensure continuity with the primary schools, Welsh will be taught as a second language in all secondary schools where the main medium of instruction is English. Usually pupils who have received their education through the medium of Welsh in primary school transfer to the Welsh medium Secondary School (Ysgol Maes Garmon) at Key Stage 3. Pupils can transfer from English medium primary schools to the Welsh medium Secondary School where they will be offered the immersion scheme that is available at the end of Year 6 and all the way through Year 7.

Public Examinations The Authority will comply with the requirements of the statute. All examinations for which pupils are prepared in school time must be approved by the Curriculum and Assessment Authority for Wales and the Schools Qualifications and Curriculum Authority in England. The Authority will enter pupils for such examinations after appropriate consultation with parents.

Flintshire Schools Transport Policy The LA is required to determine whether the provision of transport for pupils of statutory school age is necessary to facilitate the attendance at a designated school of the pupil concerned. If such transport is deemed necessary, then the transport must be provided free of charge.

Flintshire Schools

The minimum (statutory) provision The LA provides free transport for children of compulsory school age (i.e. 5-16yrs) as follows:• where a child receiving primary education lives over two miles from the nearest appropriate school; • where a child receiving secondary education lives over three miles from the nearest appropriate school.

Extensions beyond the minimum (statutory) provision The LA provides free transport for pupils of statutory school age • where a child whose parents are in receipt of Income Support or Working Tax Credit, resides more than 2.5 miles from the nearest appropriate school; • to the nearest Welsh medium or Voluntary school under the criteria identified above; • where the route to school is considered to be hazardous by the LA in consultation with the Environment Directorate; • where a child requires transport on medical grounds and no suitable public transport exists; • where transport to a named school is identified in a pupil’s Statement of Special Educational Needs. This would normally be on medical or educational grounds and would be deemed essential in the context of other criteria identified in this policy.

Flintshire Schools

Post-16 Transport The LA provides free transport for young people aged 16 years and over, living in Flintshire who are in full time education and who live over 3 miles from the nearest appropriate educational establishment (school, college, etc). The LA will assess whether a school or college provides a reasonable range of courses suitable to the abilities, aptitudes and requirements of an individual student. Transport will only be provided to an educational establishment which is not the nearest if, in the judgement of the LA, there is a considerable variation between the student’s course and the course on offer at the nearer institution. The courses should be at a higher level than the previous one: for example GCSE retakes would not normally qualify for assistance.

Free transport after the age of 19 Free transport is provided to eligible students who have reached 16 years of age and have not yet reached the age of 19 on 1st September of the academic year. The free transport will be maintained for students for the length of their initial course even if they reach their 19th birthday before the end of that course.

School/colleges outside Flintshire Young people will be provided with free transport to a school or college outside Flintshire if: • the school or college is nearer to their home address than a school/college in the County and is more than three miles from their home address, or • the course the young person wishes to follow is not provided by the nearest school/college or another school/college within the County that is nearer to the learners home than the one applied for.

Extensions beyond the minimum (statutory) provisions Concessionary fares The LA may provide concessionary transport, at a cost, where a pupil/student does not qualify on the above criteria but can be placed on an existing contract transport route which has empty seats. In these circumstances: a charge of £55 per term will apply for 2011/12. (This is subject to an annual review) • concessions may be withdrawn at short notice, with a pro-rata rebate, when seats become unavailable.

Flintshire Schools However, under the Transport Act 1985, concessionary fares cannot be made available where public service transport runs along a school route at convenient times for the start and finish of the school day. Application forms for concessionary seats can be obtained from the Access Officer, telephone number 01352 704068.

Flintshire Schools

Pupils/students with learning difficulties/disabilities Specialised transport will be provided for pupils/students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities when specified in the statement of SEN. The LA will consider a pupil’s special educational needs or disability, irrespective of whether the pupil has a SEN statement, when deciding which is the nearest suitable school. The transport requirements will depend on individual circumstances and each application will be considered on its own merits. When other factors are identified in the statement, e.g. specialist provision, transport may be provided for young people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities to travel beyond their nearest school/college. Young people who have severe medical conditions that seriously affect their mobility may be provided with free transport even though they do not meet the distance criteria. In all cases, the request must be supported by medical evidence.

Extensions beyond the minimum (statutory) provision: travelling expenses for parents of pupils placed by a Statement of SEN in schools outside Flintshire Where such pupils are placed in boarding schools more than 100 miles from home, the LA will assist with travelling expenses for parents to attend the statutory Annual Review meeting, by the most cost effective means of: • arranging transport, or • making a cash payment (currently 20p per mile), or • providing a ticket (or cash equivalent) for one or both parents on public transport

Flintshire Schools Such assistance will also be given when a pupil who normally travels in a vehicle provided for a group, is unable to travel at the same time as the group because of his/her ill-health. Medical certification will be required. The LA will not normally assist with travelling expenses for other functions or meetings.

Definition of criteria

Flintshire Schools

Appropriate school criteria An appropriate school is deemed to be the nearest school which provides education for the relevant age and ability of a pupil, the nearest Welsh medium school or the nearest Voluntary school. The LA is not responsible for the cost of transport: • where parental preference results in a pupil being placed in a school or facility other than the nearest appropriate school; • to schools maintained by other Authorities where admission to those schools is a result of parental preference, unless that school is the nearest school. The Authority operates arrangements with neighbouring authorities for Flintshire pupils whose nearest appropriate school is outside the Flintshire County boundary; • of pupils who reside outside Flintshire but who receive their education in Flintshire schools.

Age Criteria The LA has no legal responsibility to those not deemed entitled to free transport. • The LA does not provide transport for pupils attending nursery school or nursery classes at the age of three. Transport is provided from the commencement of the school year in which the child attains the age of five. • The LA currently makes provision for pupils above compulsory school age, who qualify, to be transported free of charge to the nearest appropriate school or college as detailed in the Transport Policy.

Flintshire Schools

Applying for School and College Transport If you consider, using the above criteria, your child may qualify for free school transport you will be required to complete an application form. An application needs to be made at entry to Reception, Secondary and Post-16 and is not retrospective. You will also be required to reapply should any of your circumstances alter during the period your children attend school, or if your child’s course alters. Application forms will be available at schools or from the Access Officer, County Hall, Mold, Flintshire. CH7 6ND (Tel: 01352 704068/704073). An application form can also be downloaded from the Flintshire County Council website – www.flintshire.gov.uk. Applications for transport to colleges should be directed to the college concerned (details below). Applications can be made at any time of year although students are recommended to apply at the end of the summer term prior to commencing courses in September.

Mode of Transport In determining the mode of transport required, the following principles will apply: • the need for specialist transport; • the Additional Needs of a pupil as defined in a pupil’s statement. In all cases, the efficient use of resources will dictate the mode of transport (subject to the above conditions). Transport may be provided by means of school contract transport services or existing public transport services which, together with the type of transport (bus, minibus, train, taxi, etc.) will be dictated by cost effectiveness. In some cases, one contract bus may transport different pupils to more than one school site. In exceptional circumstances, a cash payment (currently 20p per mile) may be available for transporting pupils who meet all the criteria, if deemed by the LA to be more cost effective.

Collection and Return Transport will normally be to and from bus stops or pick-up points for groups of pupils. It will only be provided from door-to-door in exceptional circumstances. In particular: • no pupil under 11 years of age will be expected to make his/her own way more than two miles to the nearest pick-up-point; • no pupil over 11 years of age will be expected to make his/her own way more than three miles to the nearest pick-up-point;

Flintshire Schools • no pupil/student who is eligible to be transported on a contract route will be eligible for transport provision outside the normal daily timetable of that contract route.

Criteria for the Provision of Escorts

Flintshire Schools

An escort may be provided by the Authority for pupils with a Statement of Special Educational Need, who qualify for transport under the defined criteria. Provision of escorts will take place after consideration by relevant officers of the individual needs of the pupils or group of pupils and the nature of the transport available.

Travel Behaviour Code The Welsh Assembly Government has issued a Travel Behaviour Code which is compulsory for all learners up to the age of 19. It applies to all modes of travel to and from education institutions. Learners must comply with the Code whilst travelling to and from their place of learning. Under the Code, travel arrangements may be withdrawn from learners whose behaviour during the journey to or from school or college is not of an acceptable standard. The driver will, in accordance with the agreed procedure, report any incidents of misbehaviour to the LA and Headteacher of the school concerned. Any such incidents will be investigated and appropriate action taken, if necessary, including suspension from transport.

Smoking on Buses Smoking is not permitted on any vehicle contracted to the Council for the conveyance of school pupils to and from school. Any pupils found smoking on school or college buses will be reported for disciplinary action to be considered.

Parents have responsibility for: • getting their child to and from school where they do not qualify for free school transport; • applying for free transport where their child qualifies; • informing the LA and the school of changed circumstances which may affect transport:

Flintshire Schools • ensuring that their child is ready and waiting for transport at the appropriate time and place. It is the parent’s responsibility to accompany the child to and from the vehicle; • ensuring that their child’s behaviour while using school transport is acceptable.

Flintshire Schools General Information for Parents

Flintshire Schools

Parental Responsibility Following changes made to the legislation regarding children in the Children Act 1989, which became law in October 1991, schools need to know who has ‘parental responsibility’ for each child. This is to ensure that proper authority is given when the school needs parental permission. It will also make sure that persons with parental responsibility but with whom the child does not live, can be provided with school reports and be given an opportunity to take part in the child’s education. G

Mothers always have parental responsibility.

Fathers also have parental responsibility for a child if married to the mother at the time of the child’s birth, and this continues after any divorce/separation/remarriage even if the child lives apart from them.

Unmarried fathers, step-parents, relatives and other persons can obtain parental responsibility but they do not have it automatically.

Parents are asked to co-operate with school staff by providing the school with details of the persons with parental responsibility for a pupil. Any changes in the arrangements for parental responsibility or in the day to day care of the child should be notified to the school. Any reference to parents within this booklet extends to include any individual who has care of the children.

The National Curriculum During primary education and for the first years of secondary education (Years 7, 8 and 9) all schools offer a broad and balanced programme which includes all National Curriculum subjects. The aim is to ensure a sound platform of basic skills, knowledge and understanding and to promote the personal development of all pupils. All Year 10 and 11 pupils continue to study the National Curriculum subjects but with some scope for options to suit pupils’ individual talents and interests. Parents are fully consulted about these options and about continuing education, training and job opportunities. A careers adviser is attached to each school and counselling and advice is, therefore, readily available. Flintshire schools seek to develop their pupils academically, personally and socially. Each school has a pastoral structure which provides for their care and welfare.

Flintshire Schools At the end of the last stage of compulsory education all schools provide opportunities for pupils to take public examinations. Most pupils enter for the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE). In addition, some students take vocational courses.

School Governors

Flintshire Schools

Each school has a Governing Body which plays an important part in the life of the school. It has a general responsibility for the conduct of the school and a range of responsibilities including the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finances and the appointment of staff. Governing Bodies are made up of local people and will include parents, persons appointed by the local education authority, teachers, staff, the headteacher and may include representatives of the local business community and representatives of the church. The number of members will depend upon the size of the school. Information on how to become a school governor may be obtained from the Staffing/Governor Development Unit, (01352 704025).

Annual Parents Meeting Governing Bodies are required by law to prepare a report which summarises the actions taken by them in the discharge of their duties and responsibilities during the previous year. The report is presented to parents at the Annual Parents Meeting where an opportunity is afforded to them to discuss with the Governors the content of the report and to ask any questions concerning the running of the school. The meeting may make formal resolutions for consideration by the Governing Body where 20% of the number of pupils at the school are represented by parents present.

Equal opportunities The LA believes that equality lies at the heart of quality education and that all individuals should have an equal right to development and achieve their full potential through our education system. The Authority will work in partnership with all groups who contribute to the spectrum of education: pupils, headteachers and staff, governors, parents and the wider community. Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for all. The LA will work against all forms of discrimination which affect a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life chances and it intends to ensure that education truly meets the needs of all pupils and students irrespective of their colour, culture, religion, race, ability, sexual orientation, language, nationality, gender or ethnicity.

Flintshire Schools Discipline and Exclusion Schools are aware that they share with parents the responsibility for the behaviour of children in their care. Parents are fully involved when behaviour becomes a matter of concern. There is no corporal punishment. In exceptional cases, headteachers may exclude pupils from school, either for a fixed period or permanently. Parents have the right to make representations about an exclusion to the school’s Governing Body.

Flintshire Schools

In the event of permanent exclusion, parents have formal rights of appeal. Parents requiring further information should seek advice from their child’s school or the Director of Lifelong Learning at County Hall (01352 704056).

Complaints Procedures The responsibility for dealing with general complaints lies with individual schools and it is hoped that any concerns which parents have will be resolved informally in discussion with the Headteacher. It is recommended that any complaint should be raised with the school in the first instance and if necessary be referred to the headteacher. If the complaint remains unresolved then the matter should be referred to the Chair of the Governing Body in writing. Complaints procedures are available from the school. Where appropriate the complainant may make representation before an Appeals Committee. In relation to the Voluntary Controlled and Voluntary Aided Schools a representative of the relevant Diocesan Body will be invited to be present in accordance with the established procedures when a complaint is being considered. Should the complaint involve religious matters then the above procedure would be followed but the Appeals Committee would also include Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education and for Voluntary Controlled Primary Schools the Diocesan Director of Education would be invited as an observer.

Home Tuition Home tuition is provided, in exceptional circumstances, for some children, such as those who are anticipating a lengthy period at home recovering after a stay in hospital, or who have medical problems which are likely to prevent their attendance at school. If home tuition is felt to be necessary, a request will be sent to the Director of Lifelong Learning, either by the child’s Headteacher or the local Inclusion Welfare Officer. This request will be considered in line with current policy above.
