3 Starting School - Section 1_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :42 Page 1 Introduction Starting primary or infant school is an important time for your child and Oxfordshire County Council wants to make sure that this first step is as smooth as possible for you and your child. We would also like to ensure that your child is offered a place at one of the schools that you prefer. Fortunately we were able to do this for 97% children starting (Reception) in September However, we may have more applications than there are places at some schools and we have to have a process that will enable Admission Authorities to decide which children can be offered a place and which children will need to go to other schools. This process must be fair and unbiased and follow the procedures set out on the Oxfordshire website and in this booklet. Most applications are now made online. Applying in this way offers the benefit of being able to start, save, change and complete your application at any time right up to the closing date of 15 January It is a good idea to list three preferences. This does not make it less likely that your child will be offered the school you most want (your first preference) but it does make it less likely that a place will be offered at a school you do not want. You are able to apply from 12 September 2013 with a deadline for on time applications of 15 January Those who apply on time will be much more likely to be offered a place for their child at one of the schools they have requested than those who submit late applications. This means that you need to submit your application (online or on paper) by 15 January You can apply on line at: Jim Leivers Director for Children s Services Schools Admissions Team Starting school in 2014/2015 1

8 Starting School - Section 1_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :42 Page 6 Admissions Process Parents of children born between 1 September 2009 and 31 August 2010 (inclusive) need to apply for a primary school place for their children. The closing date for on time applications is 15 January You can apply online at admissions. This is the main means of application. However, if you are unable to apply online you can apply using the Common Application Form (CAF). A copy of this form is enclosed at the end of this publication. When applying for a school place you need to use one method only either online or by using the paper CAF. Please do not apply both online and on paper as this may delay the processing of your application. You can list up to 3 schools on the online, or paper, CAF. You are asked to list these in order of preference and in order to maximise your chances of obtaining one of your preferred schools it is very important to apply on time, i.e. by 15 January Admissions to state funded primary schools in England are coordinated across local authority boundaries. This means that if you live in Oxfordshire and want to apply for a place at a school that is in a different local authority you need to apply through Oxfordshire using the CAF. As with applications made for schools within Oxfordshire it is best to apply online. Before deciding which schools to list on the CAF you are advised to visit school open events, read through the information given in Starting School and check school websites and prospectuses. If you find that a school requests the submission of a supplementary form it is important to remember that submitting a supplementary form does not amount to an application you have to complete the CAF as well but it is also worth remembering that where schools use these forms it is in your interests to complete and return them. In England schools use an Equal Preference System. This was introduced to prevent admission authorities giving a higher priority to parents who make a particular school their first preference. Every school listed on the CAF as a preference is treated as a separate application, each one is equal, and the priority for admission is established using the admission rules for the relevant school. Once this information is available the preferences are then considered by the Local Authority acting as the clearing house, for example if at this stage it was theoretically possible to offer a place at all three of the schools listed the school offered would be the one listed as the highest preference. If we cannot offer a place at one of the schools listed as a preference we offer a place at the nearest school with an available place. If we are unable to offer your child a place at one of your preferred schools you may place your child on the continued interest (waiting) list for each of the relevant schools and/or appeal for a place through the admission appeal process. With your offer letter, we will send you a response form. You should complete this form and send it back to the Admissions Team by 7 May Apply online

9 Starting School - Section 1_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :42 Page 7 Admissions Process If you do not send the response form back by 7 May 2014, or you reject the offer and do not tell us what other arrangements you are making to educate your child, we may withdraw the place offered and offer it to another applicant in the second allocation round. We will begin the reallocation process on 14 May Please note It is important to understand the admission rules for a particular school in order to assess the likelihood of being able to obtain a place for your child. If you are unable to gain a place for your child at one of the schools listed on your child s CAF it will be because there were other children who more effectively met the school s admission rules. Adding your child s name to a Continued Interest List and Changing Preferences Continued Interest lists Oxfordshire County Council does not hold waiting lists for entry to schools. In Oxfordshire, lists for children who cannot be offered a place at a school but where parents want them to continue to be considered, should a place become available, are called Continued Interest (CI) lists. A Continued Interest list is made up of children who have not been and cannot be offered a place at a school. These children are listed in order of the Published Admissions Rules for that school (not in order of how long they have been on the list). You can add your child s name to the Continued Interest list for a maximum of three schools where your child has already been considered but cannot be offered a place. You cannot add your child s name to a Continued Interest list for a school at which you have not yet requested a place. In this case this is called a change of preference (see below), and the Admissions Authority (AA) will firstly need to consider whether a place can be offered or not. If a place cannot be offered you will then be able to add your child s name to the Continued Interest list for that school subject to the maximum limit of three schools. The School Standards and Framework Act 1998, the Code of Practice on School Admissions and Oxfordshire County Council s Co-ordinated Admissions Scheme clearly state that the Local Authority (LA) must offer a place at the highest preference listed where it is possible to offer a place according to the Published Admissions Rules. If you add your child s name to the Continued Interest list for a school which could not be offered, you are stating that you want this school more than (and instead of) the school offered if it is possible to make an offer at a later date. Your child cannot be added to the Continued Interest list of a school which is lower on your list than the school they were offered. However, you can change the order of your preferences (see below), so that a new decision can be made whether a place can be offered at that school. After you have been notified of the decision, if a place could not be offered then it will be possible to add your child s name to the Continued Interest list. Schools Admissions Team Starting school in 2014/2015 7

10 Starting School - Section 1_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :42 Page 8 Admissions Process For example, your child cannot be added to the Continued Interest list for a school which you listed as third preference if they have been offered a place at the school which you listed as second preference. In this example, if you wanted your child to be considered for a place at the school originally requested as third preference, then this preference would need to be moved up your list to become second preference and the place offered at the school originally requested as second preference would need to be moved down your list to become third preference. The new second preference would need to then be considered as a change of preference (see below). If a place becomes available at a school and your child is at the top of the Continued Interest list for that school, the AA will automatically offer a place at that school where possible. However, late applications and changes of preference will be considered alongside, and not after, the Continued Interest list if any places become available at a school that can be reallocated. It is therefore possible during the late allocation round for a place to be allocated to a late application or change of preference rather than the child at the top of the Continued Interest list, depending on where the applicants fit in with the published admissions criteria for the school in question. In cases where the child at the top of the Continued Interest list is eligible to be given a place that has become available at a preferred school, the AA will automatically allocate a place at that school. The place at the school previously offered will be taken away so that it can be offered to another child. Your child cannot simultaneously hold the offer of a place at more than one school. For example, a child s name has been added to the Continued Interest lists for the schools which they wanted as first and second preferences but has been offered a place at the school they listed as third preference. A place becomes available at their first preference school and is offered. The place at their third preference school is taken away and offered to another child. They are also automatically removed from the Continued Interest list for their second preference school because this school is now lower down on their application than the school they have been offered. Eligibility for free home to school transport is assessed based on the Home to School Transport Policy. If a child was offered free transport to a school they were originally offered and is later offered a place at a school from the Continued Interest list, they will not automatically continue to qualify for free home to school transport to the new school. This will be assessed separately and offered if they qualify for transport under the Home to School Transport Policy. Changes of Preference A change of preference is the addition of schools which were not originally requested to the list of preferences, or the re-ordering of schools on the list which were originally requested. A maximum of three new schools can be added to an application at any one time. Changes of preference will be considered by the AA at the next available opportunity. 8 Apply online

11 Starting School - Section 1_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :42 Page 9 Admissions Process A change of preference requested after Offer Day, 16 April, will be considered alongside those who made a late application and those who were originally considered for that school, were unsuccessful in their application for a place and asked for their child s name to be added to the Continued Interest list. These three groups of children form the list of late applicants. If a child was offered free transport to a school they were originally offered and is later offered a place at a different school, they will not automatically continue to qualify for free home to school transport to the new school. This will be assessed separately and offered if they qualify for transport under the Home to School Transport Policy. A change of preference which is made too late to be considered as a late application will be determined as soon as possible after the closing date for acceptance of offers made in the late process. Once a change of preference has been considered, and notification has been made in writing, it is possible to add your child s name to the Continued Interest list for that school if a place cannot be offered, as long as this will not exceed the limit of a maximum of three continued interest lists. If a place can be offered at a school which has been added as a change of preference and this school is listed higher on your application than the school offered, the place originally offered will be taken away and offered to another child. It is not possible for a child to hold simultaneously an offer of a place at more than one school. If a place is offered at a school, the child s name will be automatically removed from the Continued Interest lists for any schools which are lower down on the list than the school which has been offered (see example above).

16 Starting School - Section 2_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :43 Page 14 Admissions Rules Measuring distances from home to school Children who live closest to the school using the shortest designated route as defined on the Directorate for Children, Education and Families Geographic Information System. For all schools where the Local Authority (LA) is the Admissions Authority (AA) for the school and any schools where the Admissions Authority (the Governing Body) has a policy to use the LA s measuring system, the route from home to school has been measured using the shortest designated route since September 2005 *. The start point of a measurement is the seed point of the home address. The seed point is provided by Ordnance Survey from information compiled from Royal Mail and/or district or city councils. The seed point normally falls within the bounds of a property. The accuracy of seed points is to the nearest ten centimetres. It is possible to move the location of an individual seed point, but this is not necessary for most addresses. It is not possible to verify the individual location of every seed point prior to measuring due to the number of addresses in Oxfordshire and surrounding areas. From the seed point the route firstly connects to the nearest point of the digitised network namely the road on which the house is situated. The positioning of front doors, driveways and back gates is not relevant to the route or the measurement and they are not programmed to be used by the measuring system. The digitised network is constructed from road data supplied by Ordnance Survey called the Integrated Transport Network (ITN). The Integrated Transport Network has been accurately digitised to measure along the centre of roads and takes corners at right angles. This is the same underlying information as used by internet-based mapping solutions (e.g. Google Maps). However, the LA has a more accurate start point than internet-based mapping solutions and the ITN has been augmented by the LA to take into account other available public routes (e.g. alleyways, public footpaths, bridleways, etc). The augmented ITN used by the LA is accurate to at least 1 metre. All 548,000 kilometres of roads in Great Britain are accurately mapped in a consistent and logical network. The network does not include routes that are not defined as public; these include crossing parks with no paths where the park is not open and available all the time, short-cuts across patches of open land without paths, or footpaths across private land which are not defined by Ordnance Survey as public routes. The end point of the shortest designated route is the nearest open gate of the school first arrived at from the direction of travel from the seed point that is officially available for use by students for entry and exit to the school site at the start and end of the school day. The location of these gates has been set by the LA. The LA consults with each individual school annually to ensure accurate placement of the gate and its availability for use. The shortest designated route is established using an algorithm within the bespoke software used by the LA. This software is called RouteFinder and is produced by Higher Mapping Solutions ( This programme integrates with the LA s database (ONE) which is supplied by Capita Children s Services ( 14 Apply online

17 Starting School - Section 2_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :43 Page 15 Admissions Rules RouteFinder measures in kilometres and the measurement is converted into miles accurate to three decimal places, which gives an accuracy up to metres. The shortest designated route is not necessarily a driving route because it may use in whole or in part a non-driveable route (e.g. footpaths). The shortest designated route is also not necessarily a walking route for example, where roads are used, the measurement is along the centre of the road not along the edge (pavement or equivalent) of the road. Other measuring systems may give a different measurement but the LA cannot take a measurement from another measuring system into account because this would constitute maladministration of the admissions process. For addresses which are outside the digitised network (approximately 6 miles outside Oxfordshire s county boundary) an internet mapping solution will be used. For addresses in Europe, we use maps.google.co.uk For addresses outside Europe we measure a straight line distance using longitude and latitude. Firstly, we derive a start point (the home address) using itouchmap.com/latlong.html We then measure the straight line distance in statute miles from this start point to the end point (the school gate) using * A small number of Own Admission Authority schools measure using a straightline distance from home to school. The LA also calculates these distances for those particular schools. Home Policy Home The address on the application should be the child s address at the time of application. This is the address at which the child spends the majority of term-time school nights (Sunday night to Thursday night). Changes of Changes of address which occur after 15 January 2014 can be taken into account if proof of this change is provided no later than 8 February 2014 (see below). To confirm your new address we need one of the following: A solicitor's letter advising contracts have been exchanged (if the property is being purchased); or A copy of a tenancy agreement (if the property is to be rented). If this tenancy agreement comes to an end before September 2014 we may not accept the address for admissions purposes; or A copy of your Council Tax Bill showing the same name(s) as in Section 5 of the CAF. We may also ask for proof from HM Revenue & Customs, Child Benefit Division or Tax Credits Division. Such correspondence must pre-date the application you have made. Multiple es Where children spend time with parents at more than one address then the address given on the form should be the one that they live at (i.e. sleep at) for the majority of term-time school nights (Sunday night to Thursday night). If Schools Admissions Team Starting school in 2014/

18 Starting School - Section 2_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :43 Page 16 Admissions Rules children spend time equally at different addresses then this should be declared in writing and signed by all parties with parental responsibility. We may ask for proof of the living arrangements (i.e. a court decision) and we may ask for confirmation of an address you have given. If it is accepted by the Local Authority that a child spends time equally at two different addresses (for example, one week with each parent in turn during term-times), the address used for admissions purposes will be the address most favourable (i.e. closest) to the first preference requested. Fraudulent Applications If a place has been obtained on the basis of a fraudulent or intentionally misleading application (for example, a false claim to residence in a designated/ catchment area) and this results in the denial of a place to a child with a stronger claim, the admission authority for the school may withdraw the offer of the place. This follows the guidance in paragraphs 2.12 and 2.13 of the School Admissions Code (February 2012) published by the Department for Education: [2.12].. Where an offer is withdrawn on the basis of misleading information, the application must be considered afresh, and a right of appeal offered if an offer is refused. [2.13] A school must not withdraw a place once a child has started at the school, except where that place was fraudulently obtained. In deciding whether to withdraw the place, the length of time that the child had been at the school must be taken into account. For example, it might be considered appropriate to withdraw the place if the child has been at the school for less than one term. Brothers and Sisters (siblings) For admissions purposes, a brother or sister is defined as one of the following: A brother or sister (both parents the same) living at the same home address; or A half- brother or half-sister (one parent the same) living at the same home address; or A step-brother or step-sister (sharing a parent who is married or in a civil partnership) living at the same home address; or An adopted child who, by reason of the adoption, now shares one or more parents with a child living at the same home address. Time of Entry The admission rules give a high priority to those with a brother or sister attending the relevant school at the applicants time of entry. This means that in the normal admissions round there will be no sibling connection for admission purposes for those applicants for Reception who have a brother or sister in Year 6 at a primary school. Similarly, there will be no sibling connection for admission purposes for those applicants for admission to Reception at an infants schools who have a brother or sister in Year Apply online

19 Starting School - Section 2_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :43 Page 17 Admissions Rules Twins and Children from Multiple Births Where the parent has made the same preferences of school and through the normal operation of the admission arrangements the last available place at a school has been allocated to one twin, or child from a multiple birth, the other twin, or the other children from the multiple birth, will normally be offered a place at that school. This means that in these circumstances the Published Admission Number would be exceeded. Random Allocation If the distance tie break produces an identical result for two or more applicants the Local Authority will use random allocation to determine who will be offered a place. Admission to an older or younger age group There is no legal barrier to children being admitted outside their normal year group but it is relatively uncommon. If a request for early or late admission is received it is for the admission authority for the relevant school to make the decision as to which year group the child will be admitted to and a decision of this kind has to be made on the circumstances of the individual case. Where, through the agreed procedure, a pupil is transferring school outside the normal year they will be treated equally to other children in the transfer group. Does your child have a disability as defined in the Equality Act (2010)? The Act is available online at: If you believe that your child has a disability as defined in this Act then you should add the details to section 3 of the Common Application Form. This information will only affect your child s priority for a school place if your child s disability affects your child s access to school and you are applying for a school that gives a degree of priority to children who fall in this category. Evidence of a child s disability must be submitted in writing by a medical professional before a child can, or will, be considered disabled by the AA for admissions purposes. The AA will not consider a child to be disabled until this evidence has been received an approved. Evidence of a child s disability must be submitted in writing by a medical professional before a child can or will be considered disabled by the AA for admissions purposes.

20 Starting School - Section 2_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :43 Page 18 Admissions Rules Late applications Parents are strongly advised to make sure that applications are submitted by the closing date of 15 January If an application is received after this date it will be classed as a late application unless there are extenuating reasons that mean we should process it as an on time application. The deadline to submit extenuating reasons is 8 February 2014, beyond which all late applications will be considered as late. Some examples are: An administrative error by a maintained school in Oxfordshire is responsible for the application being late. An administrative error by the clearing house, the LA, is responsible for the application being late. A sudden illness of a close family member prevents you from submitting the CAF on time. The death of a close family member (child s sibling, parent, grandparent) prevents the parent/carer from submitting the CAF on time. Given that any late application is likely to be less successful in obtaining a place at a preferred school any parent submitting a CAF after the deadline for on time applications is strongly advised to write to the Admissions Team setting out the reasons why the application is late. The What Happens Next? Leaflet Everyone who receives an offer of a school for his/her child will be sent a leaflet called What Happens Next? with the letter offering a school place. This leaflet explains how to: Accept the place you have been offered Place your child s name on one or more continued interest list(s) Lodge an appeal. You are strongly advised to accept the place we have offered your child or to accept a place at another school that has a vacancy. This will ensure that your child will have a school place in September Apply online

Details regarding how the appeals process works, and who organises appeals for particular schools, will be in the leaflet. Deferred Entry Parents and carers may want to defer their child s entry to school until after the start of term in September The table below shows when children can start the Reception Year, and when they must attend full-time education. Children born between Can Start School Must Start School 1 September 2009 and 31 December January 2010 and 31 March 2010 September 2014 (part-time or full-time)* September 2014 (part-time or full-time)* or January 2015 (full-time) April 2015 (full-time) 1 April 2010 and 31 August 2010 January 2015 (part-time or full-time)* September 2014 (part-time or full-time)* or January 2015 (part-time or full-time)* or April 2015 (part-time or full-time)* September 2015 (full-time) This is Year 1. However, if he/she does not start school by April 2015 at the latest, his/her place will be taken away and you will need to re-apply in June 2015 for a Year 1 place to start in September * Parents/carers can request full- or part-time provision in a school until their child reaches statutory school age.

A child in the care of the local authority or provided with accommodation by the local authority. 2 Children who, on the date of admission, will have a sibling at the school. (Sibling refers to brother or sister, half brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, step brother or sister, or the child of the parent/carer s partner where the child for whom the school place is sought is living in the same family unit at the same address as that sibling). Biological siblings who live at separate addresses will also be treated as siblings. Children residing in the same household as part of an extended family, such as cousins, will not be treated as siblings. Proof of the sibling relationship will be required (eg. short birth certificates). 3 Children who, on the date of admission, will have a sibling attending the neighbouring European School, Culham, with whom the educational site is shared between 2012 and Children who live closest to the four nodal points set out below. This will be measured using straight-line measurements. Each nodal point has a different weighting, these being: Nodal Point 1-50%, Nodal Point 2-30%, Nodal Point 3 10% and Nodal Point 4 10%.

Therefore, in the admissions year 2020/2021, there will cease to be a formal entry point at Year 7 as the current Year 6 cohort will transfer directly into the secondary school without the need for reapplication. Students will be able to transfer out of the school at any point. If a student opts to do this, the Heyford Park Free School will offer places up to the maximum capacity of 60 places per year and subject to the Admissions Code. The admissions of children below compulsory school age and deffered entry to school The Heyford Park Free School will provide for the admission of children in the September following their fourth birthday. Please note that: Parents can request that the date their child is admitted to school is deferred until later in the academic year or until the term in which the child reaches compulsory school age Parents can request that their child takes up the place part-time until the child reaches compulsory school age Admissions arrangements and oversubscription criteria In accordance with legal requirements, children who have a Statement of Special Educational Needs that names The Heyford Park Free School in Part 4 of that Statement will be admitted to the school.

72 Starting School - Section 3_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :47 Page 70 B Bicester Area BICESTER PRIMARY SCHOOLS If there are more applications than places for the Heyford Park Free School, the oversubscription criteria are shown below in descending order of priority. 1 Children who are looked after by a local authority within the meaning of section 22 of the Children Act 1989 at the time of their application and previously looked after children. The term previously looked after children refers only to children who were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order). 2 Disabled children who need to be admitted to a school on the grounds of physical accessibility. The definition of disability is that contained within the Equalities Act The required supporting evidence for this criterion will be a Doctor s letter from the child s registered GP. 3 Children with siblings (i.e. a whole, half, stepbrother or stepsister resident at the same address) who are already on roll at the school and will still be on roll when the child is admitted. 4 Those children whose permanent address is closest to the Heyford Park Free School by the nearest designated public route as defined on the Directorate for Children Education and Families Geographic Information System utilising the measuring system currently in operation by Oxfordshire County. This system measures the distance from the seed point of the house, as identified in Royal Mail s Ordnance Survey, to the nearest open gate of the school. In cases where parents have shared responsibility for a child, meaning those instances where the child spends equal time with each parent, the permanent address of that child will be the address at which the child is registered with their GP. Tie break policy Please note, where two or more applicants may otherwise have equal priority, random selection will be used to determine the place allocation. Children s names will be randomly selected from the total list of tied applicants by someone unconnected with the Heyford Park Free School. The first names selected will be offered places. 70 Apply online

The Home to School Transport Policy applies to young people who live in the County of Oxfordshire. Those who are not resident in Oxfordshire are advised to contact their own home local authority for details of any policy that their home authority may have regarding home to school/college transport. When, under the Home to School Transport Policy, children and young people are entitled to free transport it is provided by the most cost effective means. This will usually be by the provision of a free bus pass. However, where numbers are small children sometimes have to be transported by taxi. Where parents wish to take their children to school and it is therefore possible to avoid the provision of a taxi the Local Authority may agree to the payment of a mileage allowance. The mileage allowance is provided for the child s journey to school and the return to the child s home. Parents are not provided with a mileage allowance for their own return to home in the morning or their journey to the school in the afternoon, i.e. the LA pays a mileage allowance for two journeys per day rather than four. The mileage allowance is the Revenue and Customs All Car Rate (currently 40p). If through a change in circumstance 1 the payment of the mileage allowance proves no longer to be the cheapest way of transporting the child to school the alternative means of travel will be offered and the parent will be given up to 6 weeks to consider the new arrangement. At the end of that period or when the alternative means of transport is taken up, whichever is the sooner, the mileage allowance will be withdrawn. Where free or concessionary travel has been agreed it is provided for attendance at the beginning and end of the school day and not for extracurricular activities. The Admissions Team decides whether a child is entitled to free transport because these decisions relate to the school attended. If the Admissions Team decide that free transport should be provided, and the parent concerned decides to accept the offer of free transport, the School & Social Care Transport Team makes the necessary arrangements, for example the issue of a bus pass. Any information regarding Oxfordshire s Home to School Transport Policy obtained from any source other than the Admissions Team of Oxfordshire County Council or the Oxfordshire public website should be disregarded. Buses and coaches used for home to school transport are public service vehicles and are subject to specific safety legislation. This is enforced by an initial inspection and certification of the vehicle followed by subsequent annual checks. Vehicles are also subject to random roadside checks undertaken by the Vehicle and 1 For example if a taxi contract is awarded to transport another nearby child to the same school and there is a spare seat in the vehicle. 236 Apply online

VOSA are able to prohibit any vehicle that is non-compliant, i.e. is in a dangerous condition, not roadworthy and/or the driver s hours are irregular. Any Service Provider using sub-standard vehicles may lose their operator s licence. Statutory Walking Distance In understanding home to school transport and what can and cannot be provided free of charge it is important to understand what is referred to as the statutory walking distance. This is 2 miles for children who are under 8 years of age, and 3 miles for those of statutory school age who are 8 and over. It is measured along the shortest route along which a child, accompanied by a responsible adult, may walk with reasonable safety. The route may include footpaths, bridleways, and other pathways, as well as recognised roads. All such routes need to be open to the public. When there are issues raised over the possible safety of a walking route the Admissions Team will arrange for an initial assessment by the Integrated Transport Unit and if necessary a full risk assessment by Road Safety. Walking routes The status of routes (and hence eligibility to free home to school transport) may change either in response to the issuing of revised guidance or material changes to routes (through, for instance, the installation of a controlled crossing or widening a footpath). When a route assessment is required the Admissions Team commission a route assessment from the Road Safety Team. When assessing a route the Road Safety Officer applies the relevant guidance set out in the Road Safety GB publication Assessment of Walked Routes to School. Distance Measurement for Free Transport for Children of Low Income Families The 2 mile limit is measured in the same way as the statutory walking distance. However, the 6 mile and 15 mile upper limits are not walking routes. They are measured along routes that are passable using a road route suitable for motorised vehicles. Home A child s home is considered to be the child s main place of residence during the normal school week. Free transport can only be provided from that one address. Travel to a Friends Home No seat can be provided on an ad hoc basis to children wishing to travel to the homes of children who are entitled to free transport. Escorts Escorts are normally only provided when it has been established through the assessment or review process that a child with a Statement of Special Educational Needs has a specific need to be accompanied. Escorts will not normally be provided in any other circumstances. Parents accompanying children in OCC transport Parents will not normally be able to travel in OCC provided transport.

240 Starting School - Section 5_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :54 Page 238 Travel Assessment of Eligibility for Free Transport on Admission to Primary or An assessment of eligibility for free transport is made as part of the normal admissions process for entry to school. Parents are normally notified of the decision in the letter offering a school place. If a child ceases to be eligible during the course of the school term, for example due to moving address, the provision should cease at the end of that term. Free transport for those of school age (Reception to Year 11) Children within the following categories are eligible for free transport: 1. Children attending the designated (catchment) school for their address if the distance from home to school is over the statutory walking distance of 3 miles if 8 or over or 2 miles if less than 8 and of statutory school age. This applies whether or not the school was listed on the Common Application Form (CAF). 2. Children attending the nearest available school or educational placement to their address, if the distance from home to school is over the statutory walking distance of 3 miles if aged 8 or over or 2 miles if less than aged 8 and of school age. This applies whether or not the school was listed on the Common Application Form (CAF). 3. Children who are aged 8 or over and are under 11 years old who are eligible for Free School Meals or whose parents are in receipt of the maximum level of Working Tax Credit and attend the nearest school if it is over 2 miles from their home. 4. Children aged 11 to 16 who are eligible for Free School Meals or whose parents are in receipt of the maximum level of Working Tax Credit and who attend one of their three nearest suitable schools (or places other than school at which they might receive education under section 19(1) of the Education Act 1996), where they live more than two but not more than 6 miles from that school. The 2 mile distance is measured by walking route and the 6 mile distance is measured by road route. 5. Children attending the nearest available school to their address even if it is less than the statutory walking distance, if it would not be safe for a child accompanied by an adult to walk from the home to the school. This applies whether or not the school was listed on the CAF. If the route is subsequently determined to be safe the free transport will be withdrawn. The parent will be given up to 6 weeks to consider the new arrangement. At the end of that period, or when the alternative means of transport is taken up, whichever is the sooner, the mileage allowance will be withdrawn or the free bus pass will be withdrawn. 6. Children aged 11 to 16 who are eligible for Free School Meals or whose parents are in receipt of the maximum level of Working Tax Credit and want their child to be educated in accordance with their religion or belief and they attend the nearest suitable school preferred on grounds of religion or belief that is over 2 miles but no more than 15 miles 238 Apply online

241 Starting School - Section 5_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :54 Page 239 Travel from their home. The 2-mile distance is measured by walking route and the 15-mile distance is measured by road route. 7. Children entitled to free transport who then move house during Year 11 and continue to attend their original school subject to the following limits: Transport can be provided other than by taxi The distance travelled is no more than 15 miles Taxis will only be used in exceptional circumstances. 8. Children with a disability who do not have a Statement of Special Educational Need who by reason of their disability are unable to walk even relatively short distances to school and children with a mobility problem caused by a temporary medical condition, for example a broken leg. This assistance is subject to confirmation of the medical reasons for the provision by a GP or consultant. 9. Children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs where one of the following applies: The school attended is the nearest suitable school or educational placement to their address that has an available place, if the distance from home to school is over the statutory walking distance of 3 miles if aged 8 or over or 2 miles if less than aged 8 and of school age. (The school attended is the nearest suitable school or educational placement to their address that has an available place and the distance from home to school is less than the distances set out in h(i) but it would not be safe for a child accompanied by an adult to walk from the home to the school. The children concerned are unable to walk to school by reason of their special educational need or, if disabled, their disability or because of a temporary or long term medical condition. Evidence is required from a GP or consultant. Details of free travel arrangements to residential special schools have not been included since this publication is concerned with admissions to mainstream schools. Applications for Transport Assistance on Grounds of Religion and Belief Decisions on applications for transport assistance on grounds of faith or belief will normally be taken by a panel of three. The chairman will normally be the Admissions and Transport Services Manager.In making decisions on assistance with transport the LA will respect parents' religious and philosophical convictions as to the education to be provided for their children in so far as this is compatible with the provision of efficient instruction and training and the avoidance of unreasonable public expenditure (as per para.134 of the Home to School Travel and Transport Guidance issued by the then DfES in 2007). However, a parent will need to satisfy the LA of the genuine nature of the religious and/or philosophical belief and that the application is made in good faith. The burden of proof lies with the child s parent/parents. Examples of acceptable evidence are: The provision of a baptismal certificate. A statement of atheism. A statement of adherence to a particular faith. Schools Admissions Team Starting school in 2014/

242 Starting School - Section 5_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :54 Page 240 Travel 240 A letter of support from a priest or rabbi stating that the child belongs to a particular congregation. Normally two pieces of evidence will be required. It is important to note that the LA will take into account the financial consequences of any applications for assistance and that setting up new coach services or taxi routes or specifically continuing them when they could be discontinued in order to accommodate new travellers would normally fall within the definition of unreasonable public expenditure. However, where there are spare seats on already existing home to school transport routes, or scheduled public transport services, the LA will be able to consider applications for places under the concessionary travel arrangements. The LA will not take into academic grounds for preferring a particular school when making a decision on whether to provide assisted transport on grounds of faith or belief Home to School/College Transport Details can be found on the Oxfordshire public website. The Concessionary Travel Scheme Concessionary seats are spare seats on home to school transport routes. These are routes that are operated for the benefit of those who are entitled to free transport to and from school. The key points regarding this scheme are set out below: The Council cannot guarantee that a young person will keep the seat for longer than two terms Apply online Fare prices are reviewed annually The parent, or in the case of Years 12 and 13 must complete an application form for concessionary travel Parents are required to pay for two terms travel in advance The price charged covers a return journey for every school day of the relevant period There will be no rebates for those deciding to travel for less than the maximum number of possible journeys per term, for example there is no rebate if a young people decides to use his/her bus pass for morning travel and returns by some other private means in the afternoon If a seat is available a bus pass will only be issued on receipt of a completed application form, and correct payment No guarantee can be given that the bus will continue to run throughout a young person s time at a school, or that the place on the bus will not be withdrawn at some future date if the place is required for a young person who is entitled to free travel The concessionary charge will be waived for those eligible for Free School Meals or for those whose parents are in receipt of the maximum level of Working Tax Credit. In addition the cost of the concessionary charge will be waived for the third and subsequent children of families where they have more than two children using the same home to school transport service. When there are more requests to pay for seats on a particular route than there are seats available they will be allocated in the descending order of priority shown in the table Priority for Concessionary Places.

The Clerk to the Appeals Sub-Committee will not be a member of the Admissions Team or the Integrated Transport Team. 8. The Appeals Sub-Committee makes a decision as to whether to uphold or refuse the appeal The decision of the Appeals Sub-Committee will be considered binding by the LA and there is no further right of appeal. The LA will not consider requests for a further transport appeal within the school year unless there has been a significant change of circumstance. The Appeals Sub-Committee hearings will be organised as soon as possible following the request from parents to lodge an appeal. The timing of the appeal will depend upon the availability of councillors. A representative of the Admissions Team will present the LA s reasons for not providing transport and appellants can present a case in writing and /or in person (if the parent wishes, accompanied by a friend). The format of the appeal is set out below: 1. Presentation of the LA s case by the LA representative 2. Committee members and the parent are able to ask questions of the LA representative 3.

245 Starting School - Section 5_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :55 Page 243 Miscellaneous The Fair Access Protocol 2014/15 Introduction 1. The School Admissions Code requires every local authority to have in place a Fair Access Protocol. The Fair Access Protocol for Oxfordshire applies to all state funded mainstream schools in Oxfordshire and is consistent with the requirements set out in paragraphs 3.9 to 3.23 of the Schools Admission Code 2012, the non-statutory guidance published by the Department of Education in November 2012, the Education (Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2006 and the School Standards and Framework Act The purpose of this Fair Access Protocol is to ensure that outside the normal admissions round unplaced children, especially the most vulnerable, are found and offered a place quickly, so that the amount of time any child is out of school is kept to the minimum. 3. The published guidance from the Department of Education sets out a clear expectation from the Secretary of State that all schools (including academies) and local authorities should work together to identify a school place for those children who have had difficulty finding one. This guidance also states that all schools are expected to respond to requests by local authorities to admit a child under fair access protocols within seven calendar days. 4. The process that local authorities and academies need to follow when a request is made to the Secretary of State to direct an academy to admit a named child will mirror, as closely as possible, the timing set out in relation to maintained schools in the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 and the School Admissions Code. 5. When reviewing an academy direction case, the Education Funding Agency will act on behalf of the Secretary of State to consider whether due process has been followed in applying the provisions of the Fair Access Protocol. Principles 6. The Fair Access Protocol is binding on all state funded mainstream schools in Oxfordshire. 7. The arrangements regarding the admission of students above the published admission number will not apply to Meadowbrook College, Oxfordshire s Pupil Referral Unit. 8. When making placements the Fair Access Panels will take into account any special circumstances, including possible transport costs. 9. There is no duty to comply with parental preference when allocating places through the Protocol but it is expected the wishes of the parents are taken into account. 10. When seeking to place a child under the Protocol, all schools will be treated in a fair, equitable and consistent manner. 11. The Fair Access Protocol will not be used as a means to circumvent the normal in-year admissions process. A parent can apply for a place as an in-year admission at any point and is entitled to an appeal if a place cannot be made available. 12. An application to direct from the Secretary of State will only be requested as a last resort. 13. While a child is on roll at a school the school concerned is responsible for the child s educational provision. 14. Any child without a school place is the responsibility of the Local Authority up until the point at which they are taken on roll at a school. Schools Admissions Team Starting school in 2014/

246 Starting School - Section 5_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :55 Page 244 Oxfordshire MiscellaneousAdmissions Process 15. There will be an annual review of the Protocol (see Publication and Review). 16. The number of children admitted under the Protocol to each state funded school in Oxfordshire will be published on the Oxfordshire public website. This data will be updated at the beginning of each term. 17. The Fair Access Protocol is not applicable to admissions made through the normal admissions round for primary, junior or secondary schools and cannot be used where this would involve contravening the regulations on the size of infant classes. 18. The Fair Access Protocol will not be used to require a school to automatically admit another child with challenging behaviour in the place of a child excluded from that school. Children covered by the Protocol 19. The Fair Access Protocol can be used for the placement of children who fall within the following categories: Children from the criminal justice system or Pupil Referral Units who need to be reintegrated into mainstream education. Children who have been out of education for two months or more. Children of Gypsies, Roma, Travellers, refugees and asylum seekers Children who are homeless. Children with unsupportive family backgrounds for whom a place has not been sought. Children who are carers. Children with special educational needs, disabilities or medical conditions (but without a statement). Permanently excluded children, including those whose parents have successfully appealed against exclusion, but where the independent appeal panel has decided that the pupil should not be reinstated. Children who are at serious risk of permanent exclusion. Those children whose parents have been unable to find them a place after moving to the area, because of a shortage of places. Those children who have been refused a place at a school because they are believed by the school concerned to be challenging. Guidance on educational provision for children from overseas Parents who have moved from overseas to reside in England with their children may express a preference for their children to attend a maintained school or academy under the normal admission arrangements regardless of their immigration status. This includes the children of asylum seekers; parents who have limited leave to enter or remain in the UK; and teachers coming to the UK with their children on a teacher exchange scheme. British citizens and lone children with right of abode There are no restrictions on entry to the UK for children (whether accompanied or unaccompanied by their parents) who hold full British citizen passports (but not British overseas territories or British Overseas passports) or children from countries whose passports have been endorsed to show that they have the right 244 Apply online

Such children will be permitted to enter this country irrespective of their purpose in doing so and are entitled to apply for a place at a maintained school or academy. EEA nationals The European Economic Area (EEA) was established on 1 January 1994 following an agreement between the member states of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and the European Community. Under European Community law, and where the provisions of the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 are satisfied, nationals of the European Economic Area (which comprises the all member states of the European Union together with Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein) and their children of any age, who come to the UK lawfully to work or for certain other economic purposes have a right to reside in the UK. They enjoy the same rights to education as British citizens. This applies equally to lone EEA national children who come to the UK as students, who are unaccompanied by their parents. Non-EEA children of EEA parents who are unaccompanied by their parents do not have this right. Non-EEA nationals Non-EEA children who apply on their own for leave to enter or remain in the UK to study will only be granted leave to enter or remain if they satisfy the following requirements of the Immigration Rules. The Immigration Rules can be viewed on the UK Border Agency website at For children coming to study for six months or less, (paragraph 46A -child visitor). A child must attend a school or private education institution that meets the requirements of paragraph 46A (vii). It must be outside the maintained sector, unless the child is coming for a short exchange or educational visit. In the latter instance the requirements of paragraph 46A (viii) must be met. For children coming to study for more than six months, (paragraph 245ZZ child student). If the child is less than 16 years old, he or she must produce proof of acceptance for a course of study at an independent fee-paying school outside the maintained sector or a bona fide private educational institution. If a child is found to be attending a maintained school other than for a short exchange or educational visit, they will infringe the conditions of their leave to enter and action could be taken against them by the United Kingdom Border Agency. Other applicants Holders of passports describing them as British overseas territories citizens (formerly known as British Dependent Territories citizens) or British Overseas citizens have no automatic right of abode in the UK, nor do other non-eea nationals. They and their dependent children are in the same position as those described in the Non-EEA Nationals paragraph above. However, the majority of British overseas territories citizens also hold British citizenship. On 21 May 2002, those who held British overseas territories citizenship became British citizens automatically by virtue of section 3(1) of the British Overseas Territories Act (BOTA) 2002 Schools Admissions Team Starting school in 2014/

248 Starting School - Section 5_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :55 Page 246 Miscellaneous (unless citizenship was held only by a connection with the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia in Cyprus). Those who acquired British citizenship under the BOTA 2002 are therefore eligible to apply for a British passport and have the right of abode in the UK under section 39 of the British Nationality Act (BNA) Those who acquired British citizenship under the BOTA 2002 also maintain their status as a British Overseas Territories citizen (BOTC) and therefore are eligible to carry both categories of passport. However, a person is only entitled to hold one form of evidence of their right of abode in the UK i.e. either a British citizen passport or a certificate of entitlement in their BOTC passport. It is important to understand the admission rules for a particular school in order to assess the likelihood of being able to obtain a place for your child. If you are unable to gain a place for your child at one of the schools listed on your child s CAF it will be because there were other children who more effectively met the school s admission rules. Children with Statements of Special Educational Need If your child has a Statement of Special Educational Need you are advised to raise the question of school placement at your child s annual review. In addition if you have any queries you should discuss these with the SEN Coordinator in your child s current school. Please remember that you cannot apply for special schools or bases through the secondary transfer process. Private Fostering A privately fostered child is a child under 16 years old (or 18 years old if disabled) living away from his/her birth parents for longer than 28 days with a person who is not: A parent of the child Someone who has parental responsibility for the child A close relative of the child The Children Act 1989 (Section 105) defines a relative as a grandparent, brother, sister, uncle or aunt (whether of the full blood or half blood or by affinity) or step parent (Section 10 (5) a) refers to a step parent being someone who is, or has been, a party to a marriage).

250 Starting School - Section 5_STARTING SCHOOL 15/08/ :55 Page 248 Miscellaneous 248 Definition of a 'Baptised Catholic' for use in the Criteria for Admissions to Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Birmingham To establish clarity, consistency and fairness in the application of Criteria of Admissions in Catholic Schools, in accordance with the Trust Deed of the Archdiocese of Birmingham, it is necessary to define the description of a 'Baptised Catholic' for the benefit of parents who are making applications and for Governors who formulate and apply the criteria for admissions. A 'Baptised Catholic' is one who: Has been baptised into full communion (Cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, 837) with the Catholic Church by the Rites of Baptism of one the various ritual Churches in communion with the See of Rome (i.e. Latin Rite, Byzantine Rite, Coptic, Syriac, etc., Cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1203). Written evidence* of this baptism can be obtained by recourse to the Baptismal Registers of the church in which the baptism took place (Cf. Code of Canon Law, 877 & 878). Or Has been fully validly baptised in a separated ecclesial community and subsequently received into full communion with the Catholic Church by the Right of Reception of Baptised Christians into the Full Communion of the Catholic Church. Written evidence of their baptism and reception into full communion with the Catholic Church can be obtained by recourse to the Register of Receptions, or in some cases, a sub-section of the Baptismal Registers of the church in which the Rite of Reception took place (Cf. Rite of Christian Initiation, 399). Apply online Written evidence of Baptism The Governing Body of St Gregory the Great Catholic School and the Blessed George Napier School will require written evidence in the form of a Certificate of Baptism or Certificate of Reception before applications for school places can be considered for categories of Baptised Catholics. A Certificate of Baptism or Reception is to include: the full name, date of birth, date of baptism or reception, and parent(s) name(s). The certificate must also show that it is copied from the records kept by the place of baptism or reception. Those who would have difficulty obtaining written evidence of baptism for a good reason, may still be considered as baptised Catholics but only after they have been referred to their parish priest who, after consulting the Vicar General, will decide how the question of baptism is to be resolved and how written evidence is to be produced in accordance with the law of the Church. Those who would be considered to have good reason for not obtaining written evidence would include those who cannot contact the place of baptism due to persecution or fear, the destruction of the church and the original records, or where baptism was administered validly but not in the Parish church where records are kept. Governors may request extra supporting evidence when the written documents that are produced do not clarify the fact that a person was baptised or received into the Catholic Church, (i.e. where the name and address of the Church is not on the certificate or where the name of the Church does not state whether it is a Catholic Church or not.)

We can offer these spare seats to children who are not entitled to free transport for one term at a time (based on a three-term year). There is a charge for this. There is no entitlement to these spare seats and we cannot guarantee that a child can keep a seat beyond the agreed period. This is because we only provide vehicles for those entitled to free transport. See page 240 for Oxfordshire County Council s policy.

Adoption - the Adoption and Children Act 2002 came in to force in December 2005 and as such only children who have left care subject to an adoption order since December 2005 qualify for priority as previously looked after children who left care through adoption. In addition, these Regulations only apply to England and Wales and so children who have left care through adoption under Scottish or Northern Ireland legislation are not included. Special Guardianship Orders - Special Guardianship orders were a new order brought into force by the 2002 Act, which essentially amended the Children Act 1989, and therefore there should be no children with a Special Guardianship order prior to December 2005 when these orders came into existence The relevant Regulations only apply to England and Wales and this means that children who may be subject to a Residence Order under Scottish or Northern Ireland legislation are not included. Residence Orders - Residence Orders were introduced under the Children Act 1989 and as such, unlike children adopted or subject to a special guardianship order, children qualifying under this provision may have left care through a Residence Order before December The relevant Regulations only apply to England and Wales and this means that children who may be subject to a Residence Order under Scottish or Northern Ireland legislation are not included. A school with classes for children aged 5 to 11 (or 3 to 11 If the school has a nursery). Children in Year 6 at a primary school must apply to start Year 7 the following September at a secondary school. Details a school publishes about itself. See Admission Number (AN). Where children are considered under the same criterion and have the same distance but are not of the same family and do not live at the same home address and there are not enough places to offer to all of them, one or more names will be selected by the drawing of lots by an officer of the Local Authority not employed as an officer of the Admissions Team. A 1997 court decision which found that it was acceptable to have catchment areas but children living in the catchment area could only be given priority for a place at a school if they had asked for a place as one of their preferences. Children who live in the designated (catchment) area for a school but had not requested a place could not be given a higher priority than children who live outside the designated (catchment) area who had requested a place. 254 Apply online

Every state school has a seven digit number which identifies it. The first three digits are the number for the Local Authority where the school is situated (for example, Oxfordshire s number is 931) and the other four digits are a number unique to the school. Using the school s code number helps identify which school you mean when there are several schools with the same or similar names. A geographically defined spatial point set by Royal Mail and/or district or city councils, and supplied to Ordnance Survey which then sells that data to other organisations (e.g. Oxfordshire County Council).

If a child has difficulty with learning in school, then they have special educational needs. Firstly these are identified by a school and a child can be placed on School Action (SA). If the need is more severe then the child may be moved to School Action Plus (SA+). In certain special circumstances a very small number of children need a Statement of Special Educational Need (SEN). A type of state-funded school set up to meet the needs of children with Statements of Special Educational Need. A special document written by an officer of the Local Authority where the child lives which lists the difficulties that a child has with learning at school, what measures will be taken by the school to deal with this and names the school(s) where this will happen. Only a very small number of children ever need a Statement of SEN. See free home to school transport. If children are considered under the same admissions criterion, but there are not enough places to offer to all of them, the distance from home to school is used as a tie-break. If children have the same home to school distance but do not live at the same home address (not children of the same family) random allocation will be used.

It is the responsibility of the Local Authority to ask a parent where they are sending their child to school or how they are ensuring their child receives an education if not attending school. It is the responsibility of parents/carers to inform the Local Authority (LA) where or how their child is, or will be, receiving an education. If Oxfordshire County Council s Transport Rules mean that free home to school transport is not offered, a parent has a right to appeal against this decision. A type of state-funded school in which a trust (usually a non-religious organisation) runs the school, employs the school s staff, is responsible for school admissions and owns the school buildings. Children of the same family sharing the same parents and living at the same home address. If through the normal application of the admission rules one or more children from a multiple birth living at the same address can be offered a place/places but one or more of the children from the birth cannot additional places must be offered above the Admission Number (AN) to avoid the children having to attend different schools. This the case even if this would ordinarily create a class of more than 30 children per one qualified teacher (exceptional circumstance). A type of state-funded school in which a foundation or trust (usually a religious organisation) has substantial influence in the running of the school, employs the school s staff, is responsible for school admissions and owns the school buildings.

259 Starting School - Section 6_PRIMARY 15/08/ :56 Page 257 Applying How to apply using the Common Application Form (Caf) These explanatory notes are provided to help you complete the form correctly. If you live in England but not within Oxfordshire you must complete an application (on line or on paper) via your home local authority. If you do not know which local authority is your home authority you can find out at the DirectGov website: local.direct.gov.uk/ldgredirect/start.do?mode=1 Section 1: Child s Details Names The Legal Surname is the one on your child s birth certificate, adoption certificate or change of name deed poll. If your child uses a different surname on a day-to-day basis then you can enter that in the box marked If your child is known by a different surname, please state here. Fill in your child s first name, middle names (if any), gender and date of birth. It is important that your address and postcode are correct because for many Oxfordshire schools the location of an address and the distance from that address to the school are important in determining whether a place can be offered. The address on the CAF should be the child s address at the time of application. Changes of address which occur after 15 January 2014 but before 10 February 2014 can be taken into account if proof of this change is provided (see below). To confirm your new address we need one of the following: A solicitor's letter advising contracts have been exchanged (if the property is being purchased); or A copy of a tenancy agreement (if the property is to be rented). If this tenancy agreement comes to an end before September 2014 we may not accept the address for admissions purposes; or A copy of your Council Tax Bill showing the same name(s) as in Section 5 of the CAF. We may also ask for proof from HM Revenue & Customs, Child Benefit Division or Tax Credits Division. Such correspondence must predate the application you have made. It is essential that you notify the Admissions Team of any change to your address which occurs before places are offered on 16 April Where children spend time with parents at more than one address then the address given on the form should be the one that they live at (i.e. sleep at) for the majority of term-time school nights (Sunday night to Thursday night). If children spend time equally at different addresses then this should be declared in writing and signed by all parties with parental responsibility. We may ask for proof of the living arrangements (i.e. a court decision) and we may ask for confirmation of an address you have given. Fraudulent Applications If a place has been obtained on the basis of a fraudulent or intentionally misleading application (for example, a false claim to residence in a designated/ catchment area) and this results in the denial of a place to a child with a stronger claim, the admission authority for the school may withdraw the offer of the place. This follows the guidance in paragraphs Families Information Service Starting school in 2014/

260 Starting School - Section 6_PRIMARY 15/08/ :56 Page 258 Applying 2.12 and 2.13 of the School Admissions Code (February 2012) published by the Department for Education: [2.12] An admission authority must not withdraw an offer of a place unless it has been offered in error, parents has not responded within a reasonable amount of time, or it is established that the offer was obtained through a fraudulent or intentionally misleading application. Where the parent has not responded to the offer, the admission authority must give the parent a further opportunity to respond and explain that the offer may be withdrawn if they do not. Where an offer is withdrawn on the basis of misleading information, the application must be considered afresh, and a right of appeal offered if an offer is refused. [2.13] A school must not withdraw a place once a child has started at the school, except where that place was fraudulently obtained. In deciding whether to withdraw the place, the length of time that the child had been at the school must be taken into account. For example, it might be considered appropriate to withdraw the place if the child has been at the school for less than one term. A link to the School Admissions Code 2012 can be found on our website: Checking Process Each year four primary, infant or junior schools will be selected at random and, prior to places being offered on 16 April, all applicants who have requested a place at either school as their first preference will be required to provide proof of address. Current school Please enter the name of your child s current school. Once you have done this move on to Section 2 Your preferences. Section 2: Your preferences You can list up to three schools that you would like your child to attend. The schools listed need to be state schools located in England (they do not have to be within Oxfordshire). Therefore do not list independent schools. If you list a state school outside Oxfordshire then details of your application will be sent to the local authority coordinating admissions for that school. This will be done by secure electronic transfer after the closing date. You should enter the name of the school that you most want your child to attend as your First Preference. Please enter the school s code number (if you know it) or the school s postcode (if you do not know the school s code number). Do not list the same school more than once. If a school is listed more than once it counts simply as one application and does not increase the chance of obtaining a place at that school. If your child has an older brother or sister who will, in September 2014, still be attending one of the schools you have listed, please give the details of their name(s) and date(s) of birth in the space provided. A brother or sister is defined as a brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, stepbrother, step-sister, adopted brother or adopted sister living at the same address as the child whose details are shown in Section Apply online

261 Starting School - Section 6_PRIMARY 15/08/ :56 Page 259 Applying You also have a small space to summarise the reasons for your preference. If you need more space please use the larger space provided in Section 3. When you have completed Section 2 please turn over and complete page 2 of the form. Section 3: Extra Information In the space above this section please enter your child s first name and surname. This will enable us to keep track of your form if it is on two sheets of paper. Firstly answer the four questions in this section: Does your child have a Statement of Special Educational Need? A very small number of children in Oxfordshire have a Statement of Special Educational Need. This is a special document written by the local authority detailing the difficulties that a child has in learning at school, and the measures which the school will take to help them. If you do not know if your child has a Statement of Special Educational Need, you should leave this question blank. Is your child looked after or previously looked after by a Local Authority? Some children are cared for by a Local Authority, and a Social Worker will act as parent for the child. If your child is looked after please answer yes to this question and tell us the name of your child s Social Worker and/or the local authority that looks after your child. If you are the fosterparent of the child in Section 1 you must tell us the name of the child s Social Worker. It would be helpful if the Social Worker were to write a letter to say that they support the application you are making, and the letter can be attached to this CAF. The term previously looked after refers to children who have been looked after in the past but who are no longer looked after but have been adopted or who are now subject to a residence order or special guardianship order. If your child falls within this group you need to answer yes to this question and provide evidence of the adoption, residence order or special guardianship order. Does your child have a disability as defined in the Equality Act (2010)? The Act is available online at: If you believe that your child has a disability as defined in this Act then you should answer yes to this question and give details of the disability in the space provided. You can also use the extra space available at the bottom of Section 3 if you need to tell us more about your child s disability. This information will only affect your child s priority for a school place if your child s disability affects your child s access to school and you are applying for a school that gives a degree of priority to children who fall within this category. Evidence of a child s disability must be submitted in writing by a medical professional before a child can or will be considered disabled by the AA for admissions purposes. The AA will not consider a child to be disabled until this evidence is received and approved. Families Information Service Starting school in 2014/

262 Starting School - Section 6_PRIMARY 15/08/ :56 Page 260 Applying Are you moving as a new posting as Service or Crown Servant Personnel? When families of service personnel with a confirmed posting to Oxfordshire, or crown servants returning from overseas to live in Oxfordshire, do not have a relevant address in the area, Admission Authorities will accept an official letter that declares a relocation date and a Unit postal address or quartering area address as proof of residence. If your child falls within this category please answer yes to this question and provide proof of the posting at the earliest opportunity, preferably at the time the application is submitted. Other information You can use the space in the last box in this section to tell us anything else you think we should know to support your application, or because there is not enough space in one of the other boxes on the form. Any information you bring to our attention will be noted. If it is relevant to a preference you have made for a school where the Governors decide to whom places are to be offered (see information in Section 4 below), we will forward this information to that school. Information is relevant if it affects any of the admissions criteria under which your child could be considered for a place. Please look at the admissions rules for the schools you list on this form if you need to know how applications will be considered and how places will be offered. Section 4: Specific information for OAA( Own Admissions Authority )schools [optional] An OAA school ( Own Admissions Authority ) is one in which the school s Governors, or a subgroup of the Governors, or a group appointed by the Governors will decide to whom places should be offered. An admissions decision is never made by one person alone. Community and Voluntary Controlled schools are not OAA schools. All other state funded schools are OAA schools. Therefore church (Voluntary Aided) schools (for example Catholic schools and a small number of Church of England schools), Free Schools, Trust schools, Foundation schools, Studio schools, Academies and City Academies are all OAA schools. You only need to complete this section if you have listed one or more of these schools as a preference in Section 2. The Governors of OAA schools may find the information in this section useful in deciding to whom places should be offered at their school. The admissions rules for all OAA schools are shown on the Oxfordshire public website at on each school s website and in the Starting School booklet. There is a space for you to write your child s faith or denomination and when and where they were baptised (if applicable). Information about your or your child s religious affiliation is defined by the Data Protection Act 1998 as sensitive personal data. You must give explicit consent for Oxfordshire County Council to collect this information and process it for the purposes of an application for a school place. See notes on Section 6 (below) for further information about the Data Protection Act 1998 and the collection of personal data and sensitive personal data.

If you attach a certificate and do not tell us that you want it back we will not return it. Some OAA schools have a supplementary form. If applying for a school that has such a form you are advised (but not required) to complete and return it. However, if you complete and return a supplementary form but do not complete and return a CAF (or apply online) your application will not be valid. If you complete a CAF (or apply online) but do not complete a supplementary form your application will be valid but it may affect how your child s preference for the school is considered. If you are not sure if you need to fill in a supplementary form then you should contact the school concerned. If you attach a supplementary form to the CAF, please read the text carefully and tick the box. Section 5: Your details Please complete this section with the details of all of the parent(s)/carer(s) living at the address shown in Section 1 who have parental responsibility for the child named in Section 1. If you tell us the name(s) of more than one adult with parental responsibility living at the address in Section 1, we will choose one of those adults to enter onto our computer system. We will usually choose the person listed as mother of the child whose details are in Section 1. This is the person to whom the offer letter will be addressed. The letter will not be addressed to more than one person. Section 6: Declaration Please read the Terms & Conditions carefully, tick the box, then sign and date the form.
