Dear Parent/Carer On behalf of the Headteachers, teachers and support staff, we would like to welcome you to Hackney. Choosing a primary school for your child is a huge decision for any family, and we’re pleased that you, like so many other local parents, are thinking about sending your child to a Hackney school. Our local schools have changed immeasurably over the last decade. More than 98.4% of our primary schools are currently rated by Ofsted as good or outstanding and the 2015 level four results in both English and maths was achieved by 84% of pupils, which is 4% above the national average. This success isn’t limited to our primary schools. We have had another year of good performances from our secondary schools with provisional 2016 results showing that 70% of pupils achieving English and maths combined at grades A*-C, for the first time a key performance indicator on the new national accountability measures. This success owes a lot to the hard work of pupils and teachers, as well as the support of parents. As your child becomes part of the Hackney schools’ community, we hope you’ll want to get involved in supporting their learning and maintaining high standards of work and behaviour. This guide explains the steps you need to take to apply and secure your child’s place at a primary school in Hackney. You will find information about all of our primary schools. The guide is designed to help you make the right decision. Whichever school your child begins their education at, they are guaranteed excellent opportunities to allow for their success and be happy. We wish you and all children starting primary school in Hackney the very best for the future and we look forward to your child attending one of our schools.

Breakfast and After School Clubs Some of the primary schools listed in this section provide breakfast and/or after-school clubs. These are care schemes for which a fee is charged. School breakfast clubs serve food to children who arrive early at school, before formal lessons begin. The way in which these clubs operate depends on the circumstances of the school. Further details are available from individual schools. Hackney Learning Trustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s After School Clubs are based in the primary school and take place straight after school for children aged 5 to 12 years. Children who start school before the age of 5 may not get access to these provisions. Hackney Learning Trust is planning to move Benthal school to a brand new building on the existing Nightingale school site in 2020.

primary school admissions process SECTION ONE

HACKNEY’S PRIMARY SCHOOLS 2017 ADMISSION GUIDE FOR PARENTS

When can my child start reception class?

What documents do I need to send with my application?

All children whose birthday falls between 1 September 2012 and 31 August 2013 will start primary school in September 2017.

You should upload the following documents after completing your online application. We will need to see proof of the address which should be the address where you and your child live on a permanent basis.

When a school place has been offered, you can delay your child’s entry into the reception class or request to go part-time until the Spring or Summer term 2018. If you are considering deferring your child’s admission to the reception year group for September 2018. Please go to page 29 for more information.

How do I apply for a place in a reception class? All Hackney residents can apply for a reception class place from 1 September 2016. You should complete Hackney Learning Trust’s Common Application Form online at www.eadmissions.org.uk. You can list up to six state-funded primary schools, academies or free schools in any London area in the order of preference. The reception class admissions process is co-ordinated London-wide, this is to ensure that children are offered only one place in any state-funded school or academy. The closing date is Sunday 15 January 2017.

Hackney Learning Trust, London Borough of Hackney

• A copy of either birth certificate or passport showing the date of birth; • a copy of either the Council Tax bill or a housing benefit entitlement letter for 2016/17; • an original utility bill received within the last two months. This can be a gas, electricity, water rates, TV Licence or landline phone bill. Failure to provide the above documents may cause delays in processing your application. We will match the address on the application form with the one we already have on our database. If you have changed address in the last year and the school you wish to apply for is oversubscribed, you may have to fill in a questionnaire to prove that you live permanently at your current address.

How do I apply if my child has aN education, health and care plan? There is a separate admission process for pupils who have or are likely to get an Education, Health and Care plan before September 2017. This is different from the process for other children as explained in this booklet. You will get separate information and a form to complete. You should use this form to list the schools you prefer for your child. You can call 020 8820 7326 for more information.

SECTION ONE PRIMARY SCHOOL ADMISSIONS PROCESS

admissions criteria for community primary schools in Hackney Places will be offered to children using the admissions criteria shown below. Some places are given to children with Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The remaining places are offered in this order of priority: 01. Looked after children1 and children who were previously looked after2 but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, a child arrangements order or special guardianship order. 02. Children who are subject to a Child Protection Plan. 03. Children whose acute medical or social need justifies the allocation of a place at the particular school.3 04. Children with a brother or sister on roll at the school in reception to year 6 at the time of the proposed admission up to a distance of 0.750 miles as measured in priority 6 below, if the family has moved since the last sibling was offered a place.4 05. Children of teachers in either or both of the following circumstances subject to there being no more than one teacher’s child in each class: – where the teacher has been employed at the school for two years at the time of the application for (admission) and/or – the teacher has been recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skills shortage. 06. Children living nearest to the main entrance of the school. These distances will be measured in a straight line using an in-house computerised batch measuring system. Please note that the measurement point to determine the schools’ main entrance may not be the gate of entrance currently used by children and staff.5 We will need to get confirmation and/or see evidence of proof from the parent or from Children Social Care for priorities 1 and 2 above. For tie-breaker decision for priorities 1, 2 and 4, we’ll use distance5 as measured in priority 6 above.

HACKNEY’S PRIMARY SCHOOLS 2017 ADMISSION GUIDE FOR PARENTS

Looked after children

A looked after child is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions in accordance with section 22 of the Children Act 1989(a) at the time an application to a school is made. 2

Previously looked after children

Previously looked after children are children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order. This includes children who were adopted under the Adoption Act 1976 and under the Adoption and Childrens Act 2002. 3

ACUTE MEDICAL OR SOCIAL NEED

Children whose acute medical or social need justifies a place at a particular school. These cases will always require supporting professional evidence (for example, a written statement from a medical consultant, senior social worker or other appropriate professional) which has to demonstrate a clear connection between the child’s need and why the child should be given a place at a particular school. Providing details of just the symptoms or circumstances is not enough. It is the responsibility of the parent to produce the evidence. The local authority and/or the school will make decisions on such cases and will seek, if necessary, advice from the Health Service. A parent’s medical need alone cannot justify a place at a particular school.

Hackney Learning Trust, London Borough of Hackney

SIBLINGS

Sibling refers to a brother or sister, half-brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, step-brother or sister, or the child of the parent or carer’s partner, living as a family unit at the same address. A sibling must live permanently at the same address as the child for whom the application is being made. Also note that sibling(s) connection will not apply if the home address has changed since the last sibling was admitted where the distance exceeds 0.750 miles. 5

DISTANCE

Distances for Hackney’s community schools will be measured in a straight line using a computerised measuring system from the child home address to the main entrance of the school using eastings and northings. These are geographical references as provided by The National Land and Property Gazetteer. Please be aware that eastings and northings are not necessarily located to the front door of your home address. In the case of a number of addresses in a block with the same eastings and northings geographical reference, the children’s ranking will be determined by lottery. If two or more applicants live exactly the same distance from the school, the place will also be allocated by lottery. Families living on boats In these cases the distance will be measured from an authorised mooring point. If this is not possible due to living on the canal the distance will be calculated using the point on the canal or nearest road where the boat is situated on 15 January 2017 or another date. We will carry out checks to determine your position on the canal.

SECTION ONE PRIMARY SCHOOL ADMISSIONS PROCESS

How do I apply to a religious school?

How do I apply to aN ACADEMY or a FREE school?

You must list the religious school on the online application form. Please check the admissions policy for each of the religious schools you are considering to see whether you could qualify for a school place. Information relating to the admission policies for Hackney religious schools are in section five of this booklet. Religious schools will also ask for extra information about your membership of a particular faith. You will have to complete a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) and return it to the school concerned if you want to be given priority on their faith based criteria.

For the schools below, you must list these schools on the online application form. We have six primary academies and free schools in Hackney:

The following religious primary schools in Hackney will ask you to complete a supplementary form: • Holy Trinity, Church of England • Lubavitch Boys, Jewish • Lubavitch Ruth Lunzer Girls, Jewish • Our Lady and St Joseph, Catholic • Simon Marks, Jewish • St Dominic’s, Catholic • St John and St James, Church of England • St John of Jerusalem, Church of England • St John the Baptist, Church of England • St Mary’s, Church of England • St Matthias, Church of England • St Monica’s, Catholic • St Paul’s with St Michael’s, Church of England • St Scholastica’s, Catholic You can get the supplementary forms from Hackney Learning Trust or directly from any of the above schools.

• Hackney New, Free school • Halley House, Free school • Northwold, Academy • Mossbourne Parkside, Academy • Mossbourne Riverside, Academy • The Olive, Free school, Muslim

APPLYING FOR SCHOOLS IN ANOTHER LOCAL AUTHORITY If you want to apply for a place at any of your neighbouring LAs’ primary schools, simply list them on the online application form. All London LAs work together and share information by using the Pan-London System to transfer preference details to each other. This means that you will only have to complete one application form, listing all your preferred schools together, regardless of which boroughs the schools are in.

HACKNEY’S PRIMARY SCHOOLS 2017 ADMISSION GUIDE FOR PARENTS

IF MY CHILD ATTENDS A SCHOOL NURSERY, CAN I AUTOMATICALLY GET A PLACE AT THE SAME SCHOOL? Children who attend the nursery class of a community primary school will not automatically get a place at the same school. This is because some parents send their children to other types of nurseries, and all parents must be treated equally, regardless of which nursery their child attends.

How can I find out if I am likely to get a place at a particular school? Most schools have more applicants applying than there are places available. The information in the tables on pages 32-39, 47-49 and 66-67 will show you how places were allocated for the school year 2016 including the cut-off distances. It’s not possible to offer a place to every parent who applies to certain schools, so it’s important that you know what your chances are. All LAs have their own in-house system for calculating distances. This is done by using property geographical references for your home location. These do not necessarily locate to your front door. To help you work out the distance between your address and a school, please visit www.freemaptools.com/distance-between-ukpostcodes.htm This won’t give you the same measurement as calculated by the LA, but it will give you an idea as to whether you fall within schools’ cut off distances. Please also look at the maps on pages 32-39 and 49 and carefully see where you live. If your address falls within the orange or blue circle, this means that your child may get a place at that school using straight line distance criterion. Please note that you’ll be disadvantaged if you name only one school and you’re not offered a place there. If this occurs, you’ll be required to apply for a place at schools with places available. This may result in your child travelling to a school some distance from your home. Please name six state-funded primary schools, academies or free schools in the order of preference on your application.

Hackney Learning Trust, London Borough of Hackney

How will you process my application? The Admissions Team will keep full details of your application on their pupil database. Each of your preferences listed on your application form will be considered at the same time. If you have a preference for an academy, free or religious school as listed on page 26, the Admissions Team will forward your details to that school to apply their admissions criteria. These schools will not know how you have ranked their school. If you list any state funded schools outside Hackney, we will use the Pan-London Register to forward your child’s details to the other LAs. We will allocate you a place at the highest available ranked school on your application. For example, if there is an offer at the schools ranked second and third on your application form, we will offer you a place at your second choice of school. Offers from schools ranked lower on your list will be declined.

Can I get priority for my child’s medical or social need? You can ask for your child to be considered for priority at a particular school on medical or social grounds. You must tick the appropriate ‘priority’ box on the application form and provide a letter explaining why your child can only attend a particular school. The letter can include your medical needs which must demonstrate that these have created a social need for your child to go to a particular school. It must be supported by letters from either a GP, hospital consultant, social worker or any other agency or professional involved with your case and these documents must explain in detail the circumstances as to why your child can only attend a particular school. The documents should be received by Hackney Learning Trust by Friday 24 February 2017. Please note very few children are given priority under this criterion. Request for priority relating to a child special educational need will not be granted unless associated with other circumstances as to why the child can only attend a particular school. You will receive an email on 18 April 2017 telling you the outcome of your application, but not the reasons why priority was or was not granted. You can contact the Admissions Team for the reasons of the decision.

SECTION ONE PRIMARY SCHOOL ADMISSIONS PROCESS

If I have twins or triplets, is any special consideration given to my application?

When will I know the outcome of my application?

Some schools will give special consideration to twins or triplets, for example, if a school has only one place, that school will admit the other sibling(s) as well. This could mean going over their number for admissions. If this is not possible, the available place will be allocated by a lottery carried out by the Admissions Team in the presence of an independent witness to decide which twin should get the place including places in schools that are their own admissions authority.

If you have applied online you will receive an email from eAdmissions during the evening of 18 April 2017 telling you the outcome of your application. You will need to go online to confirm your acceptance of this school place. Otherwise you will receive a letter a day or two later telling you the outcome. You’ll need to return the reply slip to confirm acceptance of the place. You must also tell us either online or use the reply slip if you no longer need the place and the reason why. You must do this by Tuesday 2 May 2017, 5pm.

What happens if I apply late or want to change my preferences?

What happens if I don’t get a place at any of my preferred schools?

The closing date is Sunday 15 January 2017. We will only consider late applications if they are late for exceptional reasons. This can be where a single parent has been ill for some time, a close relative has died, or if the family has just moved in to the area or just returned from abroad (proof of ownership or tenancy of a property will be required in these cases). We can only do this up to Friday 10 February 2017. We will consider all circumstances and each case will be dealt with on its merits. In all other cases, late applications will have to wait until after 18 April 2017.

Further to the outcome email, we will send you a letter telling you which schools are still available in Hackney and if possible in neighbouring boroughs. You will be asked to complete a reply form asking you to list your new preferences from the available schools. The Admissions Team will then deal with your request and write to you to let you know if a place can be offered at an alternative school. In the meantime your child’s name will be on the waiting list for the schools you have applied to.

If you applied on time, but decide to change your preferences after the closing date, your request will be dealt with after all the late and unplaced applicants’ requests for school places have been considered. The only exception is if you have moved to a new address.

HOW IS MY CHILD PLACED ON THE APPLICATION WAITING LIST? If you have been offered a place at a lower preference school, your child will automatically be added to the waiting lists for any Hackney schools you have ranked higher on your application form. If you have been refused a place at all Hackney schools listed on your application form, your child will automatically be added to the waiting lists for all of them. Your child’s position on the lists will be worked out according to the admissions criteria for each school and can go up or down depending on whether other children have been added to the lists. Hackney Learning Trust will continue to offer places and maintain the lists until the end of August 2017. Parents will need to confirm by 31 August 2017 if they wish their child to remain on the waiting lists. From this date, waiting lists will be maintained in accordance with the primary school in-year admissions process. All primary schools will inform us when a vacancy becomes available. The next child on the waiting list will be offered a place, and the Admissions Team will send an offer letter to the parent.

HACKNEY’S PRIMARY SCHOOLS 2017 ADMISSION GUIDE FOR PARENTS

What do I need to do if I want to delay my child’s start to the reception class within the school year 2017? If you get an offer of a reception class place but then decide you want to delay your child’s start, you will need to discuss this first with the nursery that your child attends. This is important so that you can find out if you can keep your child’s place, as the nursery will be planning to allocate all of their available nursery places for the following school year. If you decide to go ahead and delay your child’s start in the reception class until the spring or summer term 2018, you must also let the primary school know, so that they are aware and have sufficient notice, otherwise you could lose the reception place.

What Must I do if I want to defer my child’s start into the reception class to september 2018? If you wish to delay your child’s start into the reception class from 2017 until 2018, you must request and complete a paper application form by Sunday 15 January 2017. Additional information needs to be provided such as evidence of the child’s circumstances. This should include information about the child’s social and emotional development that can demonstrate why education outside the age group is necessary. Such requests will only be agreed if the evidence sufficiently demonstrates and supports the case for deferement. Each Admission Authority for the school will decide whether or not the individual child’s circumstances make this appropriate. If agreed, you will be informed in writing to reapply in September 2018, and asked to provide the letter of agreement from the Admission Authority for each school. You will also need to be aware that there can be no guarantee of a place being available at your preference school/s, as this is dependent on factors associated with the application process. In the meantime your application will be included in the 2017 cohort using the process as outlined in this section. If your request is refused by all Admission Authorities for your preferred schools, you will receive an outcome in the same way as other parents on 18 April 2017, unless you tell us you intend to make alternative arrangements for your child’s education.

Hackney Learning Trust, London Borough of Hackney

SECTION ONE PRIMARY SCHOOL ADMISSIONS PROCESS

What is defined as a home address and what happens if I move house? The child’s home address is the place where they are living on the date of the application. We will need to see proof of address as explained on page 23 of this guide. Where parental responsibilities are equally shared, we will consider the home address to be the place where the child sleeps, and spends most of their time, from Monday to Friday. This is the address that will be used as the basis for the school’s admissions criteria, such as distance from the school or whether there is a sibling at the school. We can’t accept a temporary address if you still possess a property that was previously used as a home address; nor will we accept a temporary address if it is used solely or mainly to obtain a school place. If you move before 12 February 2017, you must let the Admissions Team know your new address. We will need to see proof of your new address to confirm that you are living there. This could include proof of the exchange of contracts or a tenancy agreement. We will also need to see an original utility bill, such as a gas or water bill. If you move after 12 February 2017, we will only be able to use your new address to adjust your child’s position on the waiting list if they have not been offered a place. If a school place is offered based on fraudulent or intentionally misleading information, the offer will be withdrawn and your application re-processed using the address we believe to be your home address. We may also consider withdrawing the place after the child has started school, regardless of how much time has passed. We consider that every school place obtained by deception is unfair, as other children are being deliberately denied their legitimate claim to that place. We will also ask the new school to check the child’s home address at the time of admission. If it is different from the address on the application form, we will check whether the previous address was a temporary address, used for the purposes described above.

We will investigate all applications: • where there are any doubts about the information provided; • where information has been received from a member of the public to suggest a fraudulent application has been made; • where the council tax bill/statement is in a different name from the applicant’s. Any applicant who provides false information will have their offer of a school place withdrawn. They may also be subject to legal proceedings. If we find out that the home address is not in Hackney, we will withdraw the application altogether and advise the applicant to make a new application via their own local authority. We reserve the right to seek additional information to carry out our investigations. We also reserve the right to carry out home visits to the address used on the application form and any other address previously used.

If I know someone has used a false address to get a school place, can I report this to anyone? You can report this to us confidentially on 020 8820 7402 or at reception.class@learningtrust.co.uk. You don’t need to tell us who you are. Please give us as much information as possible so that we can investigate the matter fully. If we find that a school place was obtained using a false address, we will withdraw our offer of a place and give it to the child who was entitled to that school place.

We carry out random checks on a number of applications. We also investigate a sample of applications where there has been a change of address in the last 18 months up to the end of the child’s first term in the reception class.

HACKNEY’S PRIMARY SCHOOLS 2017 ADMISSION GUIDE FOR PARENTS

How do I appeal? If you believe there are exceptional reasons why your child can only attend a particular school, you may want to appeal against the refusal of a place at that school. Please note that due to infant class size legislation the scope for a successful appeal is very limited. You must send your completed appeals form to Hackney Learning Trust or the school by Tuesday 23 May 2017. You will be invited to attend the appeal hearing. You can get independent advice about appeals from the Advisory Centre for Education on 0300 0115 142 or at www.ace-ed.org.uk and Coram Children’s Legal Centre on 0300 330 5485 or at www.childrenslegalcentre.com

Primary In-year admissions for 2017 To apply for a place at a Hackney maintained school, free school or academy at any time during the school year, you will need to complete a Hackney Learning Trust in-year application form. You can list up to four schools in the order that you prefer them. You will be expected to provide proof of address, such as a gas or electricity bill, and proof of your child’s date of birth if they are not already attending a local school. Please go to our website if you want further information if you are relocating from abroad. Parents living in Hackney who want to apply for places at maintained schools and/or academies outside Hackney will need to apply directly to either the school or the local authority where the school is situated. You should check with the school the arrangement in place to deal with your application. We would urge you to think very carefully about the impact of changing school on your child’s education. When you complete the Hackney Learning Trust’s in-year application form, an additional form (part 2) is attached, which your child’s current or previous school will need to complete. This will ensure that the new school has all the information it needs to support your child’s admission. If you apply to a religious school, and wish to be considered under their faith based admissions criteria, you should also complete that school’s supplementary form. Parents whose children are currently educated out of normal age group, can request that their child remains in their current year group when applying for a transfer to another school.

Hackney Learning Trust, London Borough of Hackney

A decision will be made in accordance with our timetable on our website page as to when a place can be offered. If your child doesn’t have a school place, and we are unable to offer a place at one of your preferred schools, we will send you a list of schools that still have places available. We would expect you to accept a place at one of these schools. The list of primary schools with places are regularly updated in our website. For further advice or information about this process, please visit www.learningtrust.co.uk/ admissions or contact the in-year admission officers on 020 8820 7397 / 7398 / 7150 / 7197 or at inyear@learningtrust.co.uk. Occasionally, a child may be refused a place because their behaviour is considered challenging. If we accept that your child’s behaviour is challenging, a referral may be made to our Fair Access Protocol Panel for consideration, the policy is available at www.learningtrust.co.uk.

Children of UK service personnel and Crown Servant For parents who are currently serving as a member of the UK Armed Forces with a confirmed posting in the UK, or a Crown Servant returning from a posting overseas, we will accept the Hackney address on your application. Your employer needs to provide an official letter of your re-location date to the UK, if the place is not required in September at the start of term. Each application for a Hackney school will be dealt with on a case by case basis, and we cannot guarantee that a place will be allocated at one of your preferred schools. Each application will be considered in line with the published oversubscription criteria for the school if there are more applications than places available. If an offer is made, this will be held for a maximum of six weeks prior to your return to UK. If we cannot offer your child a place at one of your preferred schools, we will advise you of other schools available in the area. Where your child is first on the waiting list, you can decide to make a case to us asking that your child’s admission is considered as an ‘excepted pupil’ in line with the provisions in the School Admissions Code.

HACKNEYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PRIMARY SCHOOLS 2017 ADMISSION GUIDE FOR PARENTS

HACKNEY NEW primary - FREE SCHOOL Admissions Policy 2017/18 Hackney New Primary is a mainstream school, for pupils aged 4-11. The published admissions number for the reception class in 2016/17 is 50. Hackney New Primary will accordingly admit this number of pupils each year if there are sufficient applications. Where fewer applicants than the published admission number(s) for the relevant year group are received, the Academy Trust will offer places at Hackney New Primary to all those who have applied.

How to apply Applications for admission to the reception class should be completed at www.eadmissions.org.uk using the online application form. See page 10 for further information. The applications deadline is Sunday 15 January 2017. A detailed timetable for admission to reception class is available at page 11. All applications received after the above deadline will be considered to be late applications. Hackney New Primary will manage its waiting list in conjunction with Hackney Learning Trust for late applications and those not successful in the first round.

Oversubscription criteria Children with an Education, Health and Care plan that names the school will be admitted. In the event that Hackney New Primary is oversubscribed, after the admission of children with an Education Health and Care plan naming the school, priority for admission will be given to those children who meet the criteria set out below, in priority order: 01. Looked after children and children who were previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, a child arrangements order or special guardianship order. 02. Children subject to a Child Protection Plan. 03. Siblings of children at Hackney New Primary. 04. Siblings of children at Hackney New School. 05. Children with a social or medical need. In order to be considered under this criterion applicants must produce a supporting report from either a senior social worker or medical practitioner setting out why Hackney New Primary is the only appropriate school for this child. 06. Pupils living nearest to the gates of Hackney New School on Downham Road as measured in a straight line using a computerised batch distance measuring system.

Waiting list The school will operate a waiting list for each year group. Where in any year the school receives more applications for places than there are places available, a waiting list will operate until the end of the academic year. This list will be maintained by the Academy Trust and it will be open to any parent to ask for his or her childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to be placed on the waiting list, following an unsuccessful application.

In-Year admissions

The full admissions policy for 2017 is available at www.hackneynewprimaryschool.org

Hackney Learning Trust, London Borough of Hackney

For In-Year admissions, parents/carers must apply to the school on the in-year common application form. Applications will be considered in accordance with above oversubscription criteria. In the event that it is not possible to offer a place the child will be added to the waiting list and appeals procedures will apply.

SECTION TWO ACADEMIES AND FREE SCHOOLS’ ADMISSIONS POLICY

HALLEY HOUSE - FREE SCHOOL

Admissions Policy 2017/18 The published admission number is 60 places in each year of entry into reception from September 2016. The school will admit up to this number each year to the reception year and when full the school will have 420 pupils on roll. Where there are fewer applicants than places available, all applicants will be admitted.

How to apply Applications for admission to the reception class should be completed at www.eadmissions.org.uk using the online application form. See page 10 for further information.

Halley House will manage its waiting list in conjunction with Hackney Learning Trust for late applications and those not successful in the first round.

Oversubscription criteria

Waiting list Unsuccessful applicants (including any applications received after the closing date) will be included on the school’s waiting list ranked in order of priority under the oversubscription criteria above, without regard to the date that the application was received. Please note a child’s position on the waiting list can go down as well as up. For example, if a new application is received or if a child on the list moves nearer to the school, the waiting list may need to be revised. The offer of a place does not depend on the length of time your child’s name has been on the waiting list. Waiting lists will be held for one school year after the year of entry, unless parents specifically request to have their child’s name remain on the list.

In-Year admissions For In-Year admissions, parents/carers must apply to the school on the in-year common application form. Applications will be considered in accordance with above oversubscription criteria. In the event that it is not possible to offer a place the child will be added to the waiting list and appeals procedures will apply.

Children with an Education, Health and Care plan that names the school will be admitted. In the event that Halley House is oversubscribed, after the admission of children with an Education Health and Care plan naming the school, priority for admission will be given to those children who meet the criteria set out below, in priority order: 01. Looked after children and children who were previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, a child arrangements order or special guardianship order. 02. A child subject to a Child Protection Plan for whom Halley House is their nearest school. 03. Children with a sibling at the school at the time of admission. 04. Children of staff at the school. 05.

GLOSSARY Explanation of educational terms used in this guide Academies Academies are state-funded schools independent from the local authority and responsible for their own admission arrangements. Acute medical or social needs Children whose acute medical or social need justifies a place at a particular school. These cases will always require supporting professional evidence (for example, a written statement from a medical consultant, senior social worker or other appropriate professional) which has to demonstrate a clear connection between the child’s need and why the child should be given a place at a particular school and an explanation of the difficulties which would be caused if the child were to attend another school. It is the responsibility of the parent to produce the evidence. The local authority and/or the school will make decisions on such cases and will seek, if necessary, advice from the Health Service. A parent’s medical need, alone cannot justify a place at a particular school. Allocated / Allocation The offer, or the process of offering, a school place. Applicant It’s the person (parent, carer or family member) who has parental responsibility or care of the child. Application lists These lists are created in order to offer places to children when there is a vacancy. They are similar to a waiting list. CAF (Common application form) It’s the local authority admission form to primary and secondary schools applications. The CAF must be submitted to the local authority of the area in which you live by the published closing date. CCP (Certificate of Catholic Practice) This is an additional form to be completed for applicants considered under the criteria of Catholic schools. All practising Catholic families applying for a place at Hackney’s Catholic secondary schools must complete and return a CCP signed by their parish priest directly to the school by the published closing date. CCP forms are available from the Catholic schools and Hackney Learning Trust.

Computerised distance measuring system A way of calculating distances from a child’s home address to the main entrance of the school. Cut-off distance The last pupil admitted under the distance criterion. DfE Department for Education www.education.gov.uk Distance Distances for Hackney’s schools will be measured in a straight line using a computerised distance measuring system from the child home address to the main entrance of the school. Those living closer to the school will receive higher priority. For the purpose of calculating distances, the home address is identified by using the property geographical references known as eastings and northings provided by the national land and property gazetteer (www.nlpg.org.uk). Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) The Early Years Pupil Premium is additional funding for early years settings to improve the education they provide for disadvantaged 3 and 4 year olds. Education, Health and Care Plan An education, health and care (EHC) plan is for children and young people aged up to 25 who need more support than is available through special educational needs support. EHC plans identify educational, health and social needs and set out the additional support to meet those needs. Fair Access Protocol A process for admitting pupils to school outside the normal admissions process. Free schools Free schools are all-ability state-funded schools independent from the local authority and responsible for their own admission arrangements. Home local authority A child’s home local authority (local council) is the local authority where they live ie the council you pay your council tax to.

Community schools State-funded schools whose admission arrangements are set by the local authority.
