4 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 96% of Oxfordshire children starting Reception in the academic year 2015/16. 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 (AA) 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 Those who apply online will also be able to respond online to the offer after 18 April 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. In order to decide which school you would like your child to attend, I would advise you to read the school prospectuses and admissions rules and our new Home to School Transport Policy which came into effect in September It may also be possible to visit schools. Most importantly, I would also advise you to apply on time. Applying on time is likely to maximise your chance of your child being offered a place at one of your preferred schools. This means you need to submit your application by 15 January You can apply online at: Jim Leivers Director for Children s Services Schools Admissions Team Starting school in 2016/2017 1

9 Admissions Process The school application process Parents of children born between 1 September 2011 and 31 August 2012 (inclusive) need to apply for a primary school place for their children. The closing date for on time applications is 15 January You must apply for a school place even if your child attends nursery. You can apply online at 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. 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 application (online, or paper). 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. As with applications made for schools within Oxfordshire it is best to apply online. Before deciding which schools to list you are advised to read through the information given in Starting School and check school websites and prospectuses. It may also be possible to visit schools. 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 a place cannot be offered at any 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 9 May If you applied online you will be able to respond online. 6 Apply online
10 Admissions Process If you do not send the response form back by 9 May 2016, 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 16 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 application it will be because there were other children who had a higher priority for a place under the school s admission 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 5 February 2016, 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 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. It is not possible to apply online after 15 January Late applications must be made on the paper CAF. 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 Schools Admissions Team Starting school in 2016/2017 7
11 Admissions Process What happens after the first offer of places on 18 April 2016? If you have been offered a place at your first preference school, respond to the offer by 9 May We cannot always offer children a place at one of the schools listed as a preference. If this happens in the case of your child, you can place your child s name on the Continued Interest list for a maximum of three maintained schools. However, you are strongly advised to accept the place we have offered your child. This will ensure that your child will have a school place in September Please read our policy on Continued Interest lists and changing preferences. The deadline for returning the Continued Interest form is 9 May It is possible that you might decide that you no longer want your child to attend the school offered even though it is listed as your first preference. If this is the case you can change preferences. Please read our policy on changes of preference. You will have the right to appeal for any school you listed on your child s application where a place was not offered. The deadline for returning the appeal form for letters sent on 18 April 2016 is 18 May The Second Allocation (late allocation) Round from May to June 2016 After 9 May 2016 (the deadline for responses from the first allocation on 18 April), the responses are collated and any vacancies which have arisen, because of places being declined, are available to be re-offered on 13 June The following groups of children are all considered together in the second allocation and prioritised according to the school s admissions rules: Late applicants, who made an application after 15 January 2016 but by 9 May Children on the Continued Interest list, who could not be offered a place on 18 April but want to be re-considered for a place should one become available. Changes of preference, where a place was offered at a school on 18 April but the applicant has changed their preference(s) or added new preference(s) by 9 May 2016 which are higher than the school originally offered. On 13 June 2016, letters are sent regarding children who can be offered a place at a school or who can be offered a different place to the one offered on 18 April Letters are not sent regarding children whose offered school on 13 June 2016 is the same as the one offered on 18 April 2016, unless there has been a change of preference for which a letter needs to be sent. 8 Apply online
12 Admissions Process Adding your child s name to a Continued Interest List and Changing Preferences Continued Interest lists 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 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 first 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 School Admissions Code and Oxfordshire County Council s Co-ordinated Admissions Scheme clearly state that the Local Authority (LA) must offer a place at the school that is 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. For example, your child cannot be added to the Continued Interest list for a school which you listed as third preference if he/she was 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, Schools Admissions Team Starting school in 2016/2017 9
13 Admissions Process 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 rules 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 were wanted as first and second preferences but has been offered a place at the school listed as third preference. A place becomes available at the first preference school and is offered. The place at the third preference school is taken away and offered to another child. He/she is also automatically removed from the Continued Interest list for the second preference school because this school is now lower down on the application than the school 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. It is important to remember that your child can move up or down on a Continued Interest list, depending on whether other children come on to or are removed from it. Please note that some academies and churchaided schools may operate Continued Interest Lists for less than one academic year. Please see school websites for details, or the school s published admissions rules at The Continued Interest Lists for all except a small number of schools will be maintained from 16 May 2016 to 30 June 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. A change of preference requested after Offer Day, 18 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. 10 Apply online
14 Admissions Process 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). 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 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. Travel arrangements It is advisable for parents to consider how a child will travel to any schools listed on the Common Application Form. The Home to School Transport Policy does not provide free travel to designated area/catchment schools unless the school concerned is the nearest school to that address and it is either over 2 miles away for those of school age who are below the age of 8 (3 miles for those aged 8 or over) or the route would be unsafe to walk even if accompanied by a parent. It may also be helpful to check what service bus routes would be of help and whether individual schools intend to make any transport arrangements. However, there may be spare seats on home to school routes available for those who are not eligible for free travel (for a distance related charge). These seats are referred to as concessionary seats. Nevertheless please note that spare places are not always available on home to school transport routes. In addition where limited places are available there is no guarantee that they will remain available, as a child with an entitlement to free travel may need the seat, or an existing route may be cancelled. The Home to School Transport Policy is included in this booklet. Details of the Concessionary Fares Scheme are included in the Home to School Transport Policy.

21 Admissions Rules 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 (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989) at the time of making an application to a school. Previously looked after children The School Admissions Code 2012 introduced a requirement for all admission authorities to broaden the existing priority for 'looked after children' or children in care (defined in section 22 of the Children Act 1989) to also include 'previously looked after' children. Children who were 'previously looked after' were defined for admissions purposes as those who immediately after being in care became subject to an adoption, residence, or special guardianship order. A revised School Admissions Code came into force on 19 December 2014 and this states that previously looked children include those who were adopted under the Adoption Act 1976 (see section 12 adoption orders) and not simply those children who were adopted under the Adoption and Children Act 2002 (see section 46 adoption orders). In addition residence orders have now been replaced by child arrangements orders. Those who previously received a residence order are now deemed to have a child arrangement order. If applying on behalf of a previously looked after child the parent will need to provide the following evidence: an adoption order under section 46 of the Adoption and Children Act 2002; or an adoption order under the Adoption Act 1976; or a child arrangements order; or a residence order settling the arrangements to be made as to the person with whom the child is to live under section 8 of the Children Act 1989; or a special guardianship order appointing one or more individuals to be a child's special guardian(s), under section 14A of the Children Act Continued interest lists Parents will be able to place their children s names on the continued interest list for a community or voluntary controlled primary, infants school or junior school. For those applying through the normal admissions round for entry to Reception the continued interest lists will be maintained from immediately following initial allocation to the 30 June of the academic year of entry. In the case of those applying in year the continued interest lists will be maintained for one academic year. It will be possible to place a name on the list from 1 August, the beginning of the academic year, and the list will be discontinued on 30 June of that academic year. 18 Apply online
22 Admissions Rules 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 the primary school (or in Year 2 in the case of St Nicholas CE (Controlled) Infants School and Foundation Stage Unit, Wallingford). Admission outside the normal age group Parents of gifted and talented children, or those who have experienced problems or missed part of a year, for example due to ill health, can seek places outside their normal age group. Where the parents of a summer born child choose not to send that child to school until the September following their fifth birthday, they may request that they are admitted out of their normal age group to Reception rather than Year 1. Any decision will be made on the basis of the circumstances of each case. This will include: taking account of the parents views; any information about the child s academic, social and emotional development; whether they have previously been educated out of their normal age group; the views of the head teacher of the school(s) concerned. When informing a parent of the decision on the year group to which their child should be admitted, the LA will give clear reasons for the decision. Where it has been agreed that a parent s request for their child to be admitted out of their normal age group and, as a consequence of that decision, the child will be admitted to a relevant age group (i.e. the age group to which pupils are normally admitted to the school) the application will be: processed as part of the main admissions round, unless the parental request is made too late for this to be possible; and considered against the determined admission arrangements only, including the application of oversubscription criteria where applicable. The LA will not give a lower priority on the basis that the child is not of the correct age. Parents statutory right to appeal against the refusal of a place at a school for which they have applied will not apply if they are offered a place at the school but it is not in their preferred age group. 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.

23 Admissions Rules Sibling/brother or sister For admission purposes for community and voluntary controlled schools a sibling is defined as a brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, step brother or step sister who will be resident at the same address at the time of entry. Home address 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). 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. Fair Access Protocol The Fair Access Protocol is part of the admission arrangements of all community and voluntary controlled schools in Oxfordshire and all own admission authority schools that have adopted the same admission arrangements as those for community and voluntary controlled schools. In addition the admission authorities for all other mainstream state funded schools in Oxfordshire follow the Fair access Protocol. Change of address Changes of address which occur after 15 January 2016 but before 5 February 2016 may 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 2016 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. Parents may also be asked to provide proof of address from correspondence they have received from HM Revenue & Customs, Child Benefit Division or Tax Credits Division. Such correspondence must pre-date the application made. 20 Apply online
24 Admissions Rules Multiple addresses 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. 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 termtimes), the address used for admissions purposes will be the address most favourable (i.e. closest) to the first preference requested. Parents are unable to agree on the schools to be listed on the CAF If parents cannot agree on the schools to list on the CAF and submit separate applications the Local Authority will only consider the application made by the parent who receives Child Benefit for that child. If a parent is unhappy with this decision their only recourse would be to seek an order from the Court. 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 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 2014 published by the Department for Education: [2.12] An admission authority must not withdraw an offer unless it has been offered in error, a parent has not responded within a reasonable period 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 has 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. Schools Admissions Team Starting school in 2016/
25 Admissions Rules The nearest designated public route as defined on the Directorate for Children, Education & Families Geographic Information System For admissions purposes for all schools where the Local Authority (LA) is the Admissions Authority for the school, and any own admission authority schools that have adopted the LA s measuring system, the route from home to school will be measured using the shortest designated route. 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. 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 ( 22 Apply online
26 Admissions Rules RouteFinder measures in kilometres and the measurement is converted into miles accurate to three decimal places, which gives an accurate reading 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 Coordination of admissions for the normal admissions round All community and voluntary controlled schools are part of the coordinated admission process for Oxfordshire for entry to Reception in 2016/17. The Scheme is published on the County Council s public website. In year admissions (Reception to Year 6) All community and voluntary controlled schools are part of the coordinated in year admissions process for Oxfordshire. The In Year Admission Scheme is published on Oxfordshire County Council s public website. Other measuring systems may give a different measurement. However, the LA will not take a measurement from another measuring system into account because this would constitute maladministration of the admissions process.

The offer odf a place will lapse if the child concerned does not start school by April In cases of this kind the child s parent would need to reapply in June 2017 for a place in September NB Parents may request part time provision up until the child concerned reaches statutory school age. Staying in nursery provision Nursery education is no longer age appropriate once a child reaches statutory school age. Therefore children who have their fifth birthday between September and December 2016 may only stay in nursery provision up until the end of December 2016 but they need to be in receipt of full time age appropriate education from January This means that these children need to transfer to primary or infants school no later than January The alternative would be suitable age appropriate home education. Children who have their fifth birthday between January and March 2017 may only stay in nursery provision up until the end of March 2017 but they need to be in receipt of full time age appropriate education from April This means that these children need to transfer to primary or infants school no later than April The alternative would be suitable age appropriate home education. 24 Apply online
28 DEFERRED ENTRY Children who have their fifth birthday between April and August 2017may stay in nursery provision up until the end of the 2016/17 academic year but they need to be in receipt of full time age appropriate education from September This means that these children need to transfer to primary or infants school no later than September The alternative would be suitable age appropriate home education. Admission of summer born children outside their normal age group to any mainstream state funded school Summer born children are defined as those born from the beginning of April to the end of August and who reach compulsory school age on 31 August Where a parent wants to send their summer born child to school in the September after their fifth birthday (September 2017) and requests that they enter the Reception class the admission authority for that school needs to make a decision on the basis of the circumstances of each case. It would be unlawful for an admission authority to have a blanket policy which says that summer born children who start school in the September after their fifth birthday will be admitted to Year 1. Factors that may be considered by an admission authority are: a. The needs of the child and the possible impact on them of entering Year 1 without having first attended the Reception class b. In the case of children born prematurely, the fact that they may have naturally fallen into the lower age group if they had been born on their expected date of birth c. The extent to which a child s delayed social, emotional or physical development is adversely affecting their readiness for school d. Any relevant research into the outcomes of summer born and premature children If a child is educated outside of the normal age group whilst in primary school on applying for a secondary school place it will be for the admission authority of the secondary school to decide whether to admit the child outside of their normal age group. When making this decision the admission authority for the secondary school must make the decisions on the basis of the circumstances of each case. A child ceases to be of compulsory school age on the last Friday of June in the school year they become 16. If a child is educated outside of their normal age group (i.e. is in Year 10 when this date is reached) the school will continue to receive funding for that child but the child will no longer be of compulsory school age during the school year in which most children take their GCSE examinations. Parents who are refused a place at a school for which they have applied have the right of appeal to an independent admission appeal panel. However, they do not have a right of appeal if they have been offered a place and it is not in the year group they would like. Nevertheless they may make a complaint. All schools have a duty to consider complaints about the school and must have a published complaints procedure in place. Local authorities also have a complaints procedure.

29 Deferred Entry The parent of a child who is eligible for admission to school in September 2016 but whose child does not have to start full time education until September 2017 and who wants them to start Reception in 2017 rather than Year 1 should make their request as early as possible in the academic year 2016/17. Requests should be made to the Admissions Team of Oxfordshire County Council using the form Request for the admission of summer born children outside their normal age group and attaching any evidence that they believe will be helpful. This form is available on Oxfordshire County Council s public website. Once the relevant form has been received by the Admissions Team all the admission authorities of the schools listed will be contacted to ask whether they are willing to accept an out of year group application in the next academic year. The parent will then be informed of the outcome of their request. 26 Apply online
30 Admissions Rules Designated areas (catchment areas) These can be viewed on the Oxfordshire public website. Living within a particular school s designated area gives a high priority for admission but there is no guarantee that a place will always be made available. Community and voluntary controlled schools converting to academy status When a school converts to academy status the school retains the existing admission arrangements. However, any new academy can consult on amending these at the next available opportunity. The Admissions Code states (paragraph 1.42) that admission authorities must consult on their admission arrangements at least every 7 years, even if there have been no changes to the arrangements in that period. Therefore unless a former community or voluntary controlled school converting to academy status in 2015/16 and subsequent years specifically consults upon and adopts different admission arrangements the arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools will apply. A child with 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 identified 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 is received and approved. The Children and Families Act 2014 The Children and Families Act involves the replacement of Statements of Special with Educational Need with Education, Health and Care Plans. Children with Education, Health and Care Plans have the same priority for admission as children with Statements of Special Educational Need. Schools Admissions Team Starting school in 2016/

240 Travel Home to School Transport Policy 2016/17 Introduction 1. The County Council is keen to encourage young people to walk or cycle to school or college or to make use of public transport, but it also provides free transport and some assisted transport as set out in the Home to School Transport Policy set out in this document. 2. The legal basis for the provision of home to school transport is set out in sections 508A, 508B, 508C, 508D and 509AD and Schedule 35B of the Education Act 1996 (as amended by Part 6 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006) and where appropriate the Equality Act and English and European case law. In addition local authorities are under a statutory duty to have regard to the Home to School Travel and Transport Guidance issued by the DfE in July 2014 and the Post16 Transport to Education and Training guidance issued in February 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. 4. Parents of those aged from 4 (Rising Fives) to 16 need to complete and submit a Transport Application Form if they wish to apply for free or subsidised home to school transport. If they wish to apply for subsidised travel an Application for Concessionary Travel on a School Bus needs to be completed. 5. 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 40p per mile. If through a change in circumstance1 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. 6. 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. 7. The responsibility for determining entitlement issues rests with the School Admissions Team since transport decisions relate to the school attended. The responsibility for organising transport rests with the Customer Service Centre and the Environment and Economy Department. School Admissions Team Starting Out 2015/
241 Travel 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. 9. 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 Operator Service Agency (VOSA). 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 substandard vehicles may lose their operator s licence. Statutory Walking Distance 10. 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 and, if necessary, a full risk assessment by Road Safety. Apply online Distance Measurement for Free Transport for Children of Low Income Families 11. 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 12. 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 Friend s Home 13. 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 14. Escorts are normally only provided when it has been established through the assessment or review process that a child with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan Statement or Special Educational Needs has a specific need to be accompanied. 15. Escorts will not normally be provided in any other circumstances. Parents accompanying children in OCC transport 16. Parents will not normally be able to travel in OCC provided transport. Assessment of Eligibility for Free Transport on Admission to Primary or 17. 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.
242 Travel 18. 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. The Children and Families Act The Children and Families Act 2014 involves the replacement of Statements of Special Educational Need with Education, Health and Care Plans. 20. Parents of children with Education, Health and Care Plans may in certain circumstances have the option of a personal budget to meet some or all of the provision detailed in the plan and special transport will be an element of the personal budget. Free transport for those of school age (Reception to Year 11) 21. Children within the following categories are eligible for free transport: a. 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 Admissions Form (CAF). b. Children attending the nearest available school in Oxfordshire, 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 Admissions Form (CAF). c. Where at least 20% of addresses are nearest to the catchment school and the rest are nearest to another school free transport will be provided to the catchment school for all addresses if the distance is beyond the statutory walking distance or there is no safe walking route. This is referred to as the 'split village' entitlement (please see Appendix 1). d. 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. e. 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. f. 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 their 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. School Admissions Team Starting Out 2015/
243 Travel g. 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 from their home. The 2 mile distance is measured by walking route and the 15 mile distance is measured by road route. h. Children entitled to free transport from a previous address who then move house during Year 11 and continue to attend their original school, subject to the following limits: i. Transport can be provided other than by taxi ii. The distance travelled is no more than 15 miles NB Taxis will only be used in exceptional circumstances. i. Children with a disability who do not have an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan or 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. j. Children with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan or Statement of Special Educational Need or where one of the following applies: (i) 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. (ii)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 child s home to the school. (iii) 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. k. Children of statutory school age who live at RAF Benson and attend Icknield Community College.

Any additional trips will be the responsibility of the other agency. Applications for Transport Assistance on Grounds of Religion and Belief 30. 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). Payment of parental journeys for those with children at out county residential special schools 31. 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. School Admissions Team Starting Out 2015/
245 Travel 32. Examples of acceptable evidence are: a. The provision of a baptismal certificate. b. A statement of atheism. c. A statement of adherence to a particular faith. d. 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. 33. 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. 34. The LA will not take into account academic grounds for preferring a particular school when making a decision on whether to provide assisted transport on grounds of faith or belief. 35. 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 Service Manager for Admissions Home to School/College Transport Annual 16 to19 Transport Policy Statement 36. Details of travel provision for the 16 to 19 age group will be published by 31 May of each year in the Transport Policy Statement. This is intended to ensure that young people can make informed choices regarding post16 education. The Policy Statement can be amended in year in response to complaints or a direction from the Secretary of State. Complaints can be heard by the Appeals & Tribunals Sub- Committee. Free Travel 37. Students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities who are beyond statutory school age and who are aged 16 to 19, will receive free travel to that placement when they attend the nearest suitable school or educational placement to their home address that has an available place and one of the following applies: a. It is over 3 miles from their home to the educational placement. b. It is less than 3 miles from their home to the educational placement but it would not be safe for the young person, even if accompanied by an adult, to walk from home to that placement. c. The young person is unable to walk to the school or educational placement due to their learning difficulty and/or disability, or because of a temporary or long term medical condition. Evidence is required from a GP or consultant. 242 Apply online
246 Travel Subsidised Travel (16-19 age group) 38. Students who do not have learning difficulties and/or disabilities who are beyond statutory school age, are aged 16 to 19, and who attend either a college or a school may use the concessionary travel scheme where it is necessary to enable them to access the designated school or college for their area (lower concessionary charge payable) or to access a non-designated area school or college (higher concessionary charge payable). The concessionary travel scheme makes places available on transport provided for those who are eligible for free home to school transport. 39. Oxfordshire residents aged for whom Henley College is the nearest post16 provision will need to pay the distance related charges set out in the concessionary scheme if they obtain places on transport operated directly, indirectly or in partnership with Oxfordshire County Council. There is an annual review of the charges that apply to this group of students. In addition there will be a review of the policy regarding post 16 transport to Henley College during the academic year 2015/16 (dates are yet to be determined). 40. In exceptional circumstances, and only where places on relevant home to school transport routes are unavailable, season tickets on public transport may be provided for travel to the designated college or school from the student s home address at the relevant concessionary charge rate. This is meant to apply where a home to school transport route is full and it would be possible to use public transport and so avoid the unnecessary additional public expense of contracting for additional capacity on that route. Travel Arrangements for Learners with Learning Difficulties Assessments (aged 19-24) 41. An annual Learning Difficulties and Disabilities Transport Policy Statement will be issued by the LA either with the Transport Policy Statement or separately. This document will specify any transport or other arrangements, any payment of travel expenses and concessionary schemes which the LA plans to make available to this group of learners in the following academic year to publication. The Policy Statement will also set out the arrangements for facilitating boarding provision outside both the further education and higher education sectors. Complaints can be heard by the Appeals & Tribunals Sub-Committee. The Concessionary Travel Scheme 42. 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: a. The Council cannot guarantee that a young person will keep the seat for longer than two terms b. The parent, or in the case of Years 12 and 13, the student, must complete an application form for concessionary travel c. Parents are required to pay for two terms travel in advance School Admissions Team Starting Out 2015/
247 Travel d. The price charged covers a return journey for every school day of the relevant period e. 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 f. If a seat is available a bus pass will only be issued on receipt of a completed application form, and correct payment g. 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 h. The concessionary charge will be waived for the following low income groups: i. young people who are aged 8 to 19 in the relevant academic year in which travel is required who are eligible for Free School Meals on income grounds; ii. young people who are aged 5, 6 or 7 in the relevant academic year in which travel is required who would have been eligible for Free School Meals on income grounds; iii. young people aged 5 to 19 in the relevant academic year in which travel is required whose parents are in receipt of the maximum level of Working Tax Credit. i. 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. Priority for Concessionary Places Priority Category 1 Those with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan or a Statement of Special Educational Needs naming the school 2 Children 3 Years 12 and 13 (if there is no available service bus route) 4 Children in receipt of Free School Meals or whose parent/parents are in receipt of the maximum of Working Tax Credit 5 Those who travelled on the route the previous term 6 By year group, in ascending order of priority from Reception to Year 11 (or to Year 13 if there is an available service bus route) 7 Those living closest using the shortest designated public route on the County Council s Geographic Information System 43.

252 Miscellaneous The Fair Access Protocol 2016/17 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 11 Academies, free schools, studio schools, voluntary aided schools, trust schools, voluntary controlled schools and community schools in Oxfordshire and is consistent with the requirements set out in paragraphs 3.9 to 3.15 of the Schools Admission Code 2014, 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 Schools Admission Code 2014 requires all admission authorities of state funded mainstream schools to participate in the Fair Access Protocol in order to ensure that unplaced children are allocated a school place quickly. There is no duty for local authorities or admission authorities to comply with parental preference when allocating places through the Fair Access Protocol. 3. The purpose of the 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. 4. The published guidance from the Department of Education sets out a clear expectation from the Secretary of State that all state funded mainstream schools 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. 5. 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. 6. When reviewing a request to direct admission to an academy 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 7. The Fair Access Protocol is binding on all state funded mainstream schools in Oxfordshire. 8. The arrangements regarding the admission of students above the published admission number will not apply to Meadowbrook College, Oxfordshire s Pupil Referral Unit. 9. When making placements the Fair Access Panels will take into account any special circumstances, including possible transport costs. 10. There is no duty to comply with parental preference when allocating places through the Protocol but it is expected that the wishes of a child s parents will be taken into account. School Admissions Team Starting Out 2015/
253 Miscellaneous 11. When seeking to place a child under the Protocol, all schools will be treated in a fair, equitable and consistent manner. 12. The Fair Access Protocol will not be used as a means to circumvent the normal inyear 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. 13. An application to the Secretary of State to direct a child s admission to a particular school will only be requested as a last resort. 14. While a child is on roll at a school the school concerned is responsible for the child s educational provision. 15. 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. 16. There will be an annual review of the Protocol. 17. 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. 18. 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. 19. 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 20. The Fair Access Protocol can be used for the placement of children who fall within the following categories: a) children from the criminal justice system or Pupil Referral Units who need to be reintegrated into mainstream education; b) children who have been out of education for two months or more; c) children of Gypsies, Roma, Travellers, refugees and asylum seekers; d) children who are homeless; e) children with unsupportive family backgrounds for whom a place has not been sought; f) children who are carers; g) children with special educational needs, disabilities or medical conditions (but without a statement); h) 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; i) children who are at serious risk of permanent exclusion; j) those children whose parents have been unable to find them a place after moving to the area, because of a shortage of places; k) those children who have been refused a place at a school because they are believed by the school concerned to be challenging. 250 Apply online
254 Miscellaneous Monitoring of the Protocol 21. The Admissions and Transport Services Manager assisted by the SIOs will monitor placements under the Protocol and the operation of the Fair Access Panels. 22. Each Fair Access Panel will receive a report on in year admissions for the academic year. This report will be prepared by the Admissions Team and will normally be presented by the Admissions and Transport Services Manager. It will include the number of admissions under the Fair Access Protocol. The report will not include the names of children and will be a public document. 23. Once issues have been identified the Admissions and Transport Services Manager will seek to resolve them through contact and negotiation with the relevant school, service or panel. Problems regarding the Protocol will be identified in the annual report to the Schools Adjudicator. Publication and Review 24. The Fair Access Protocol will be published on the admissions page of the Oxfordshire public website and will form part of the admission arrangements for all state funded schools in Oxfordshire. 25. The Protocol will be reviewed annually and the review will involve all schools. The Admissions and Transport Services Manager will be responsible for the undertaking the review, reporting the outcome to schools and councillors and submitting the Protocol for approval to the Local Authority. The next annual review of the Protocol will take place for at least 6 weeks between 1 October 2015 and 31 January of 2016 and the Protocol will then be officially determined by Oxfordshire County Council by no later than 28 February Looked after children, previously looked after children, children with an Education Health and Care Plan and children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs naming a school 26. Requests for places for looked after children, previously looked after children, children with an Education Health and Care Plan and children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs naming a school, will not be referred to the Fair Access Panels. 27. In accordance with legal requirements children who have an Education Health and Care Plan 22 An Education, Health and Care plan is a plan made by the local authority under Section 37 of the Children and Families Act 2014 specifying the special education provision required for that child. that names the school will be admitted to that school. In addition those children who have a Statement of Special Educational Needs that names a particular school in Part 4 of that Statement will also be admitted to that school. 33 Statements of Special Educational are being superseded by Education, Health and Care plans 28. Similarly children who are looked after 44 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 (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989) at the time of making an application to a school by a local authority within the meaning of section 22 of the Children Act School Admissions Team Starting Out 2015/
255 Miscellaneous at the time of their application and previously looked after children will always be admitted. 55 This group includes children who were adopted under the Adoption Act 1976 (see section 12 adoption orders) and children who were adopted under the Adoption and Children Act 2002 (see section 46 adoption orders). 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 child arrangements order 66 Under the provisions of s.14 of the Children and Families Act 2014, which amend section 8 of the Children Act 1989, residence orders have now been replaced by child arrangements orders. or special guardianship order 77 Section 14A of the Children Act 1989 defines a special guardianship order as an order appointing one or more individuals to be a child s special guardian (or special guardians). 29. Proposals to place children with an Education Health and Care Plan and children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs at a school outside the normal admissions round will be the subject of a formal consultation with the relevant school. Following the consultation if the responsible local authority decides a place is still required it will be made available by the school concerned. 30. Looked after children and previously looked after children will normally be placed promptly through the in year admission arrangements. If this is not possible or when a school placement needs to be arranged as an emergency measure a formal consultation will take place with the school concerned. Apply online In the case of looked after children for whom Oxfordshire is responsible the social worker responsible for the child will approach the Admissions Team to check the availability of school places and to establish the distance from the child s placement to local schools. The social worker will then contact the Virtual School for advice on the provision available at the schools being considered. After considering the advice received the social worker will complete an application form for a school place and submit the form to the Admissions Team. The Admissions Team will then write to the school to request a place. The school will then respond within 7 days. 32. A direction may be sought if a looked after child, previously looked after child or child with a statement of special educational needs naming the school is refused a place by the requested own admission authority school. 33. Once a place has been offered to a looked after child, or previously looked after child, and the place has been formally accepted (or the child is already on roll) it is open to the school concerned to raise issues such as requests for additional funding at the next available Fair Access Panel. Fair Access Panels are not able to determine alternative school placements for these children. Referrals to Fair Access Panels 34. Referrals for consideration under the Protocol can be made by any state funded schools in Oxfordshire or by the Admissions Team. 35. No referrals can be made by parents. 36. In any academic year normally no more than 1 child per year group will be admitted above the Published Admission Number of a primary, infant, or junior school through the Protocol.

Guidance on educational provision for children from overseas In the majority of cases, children who have arrived from abroad to reside in England may attend a state-funded school (a maintained school or academy). Their parents may apply under the admissions arrangements set out in the Schools Admissions Code. However, the following children are not entitled to a state education: Children from non-european Economic Area (EEA) countries who are here as short term visitors. These are children who live abroad but have been admitted to the UK for a short visit (most usually with their families), for example to visit relatives or for tourism purposes. These children are not entitled to enrol at a state school. Unaccompanied non-eea children who have been granted leave to study in the UK. These are granted such leave on the basis that they will study in the independent fee paying sector. Where such children are found in the state sector they will not be denied education but schools and local authorities are expected to raise the issue with the Home Office who will investigate further. Children with Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plans or Statements of Special Educational Needs If your child has a Statement of Special Educational Need or a new Education, Health and Care Plan (EHC) Plan 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.

258 Miscellaneous 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). 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.)

264 Jargon Buster Ordnance Survey Partner school Preference Previously Looked After children Primary school Prospectus The national mapping agency of Great Britain, an executive agency and nonministerial government department of the UK Government. In Oxfordshire, all state schools are organised into partnerships where infant schools are linked to a primary or junior school. If a child attends an infant school but lives outside the designated (catchment) area the admissions rules for most junior schools give them a slightly higher priority for that school if it is listed as a preference. The Admissions Authority will not guarantee that a child considered under this rule will be offered a place. The school or schools you would most like your child to attend. The Law states that an Admission Authority must comply with your preference unless to do so would conflict with the Admissions Policy or Rules if there are more applications than places available. The Law also states that the Local Authority must offer a place at the school listed highest on the application where it is possible to offer a place at more than one school. A child who was looked after in the past but is no longer looked after because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order). 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.

GIS-based software produced by Higher Mapping Solutions ( which is designed to find the shortest measurement between two defined points using the digitised network. 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). The seed point used by the Admissions Team of Oxfordshire County Council is the all numeric British Co-ordinate System (easting and northing). The shortest route from the Home to the school measured using Oxfordshire County Council s computerised measuring system. See page 16 for more information on how the shortest designated route is measured. Another word for brother or sister (see above). 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 New Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice came into effect on 1 September Between September 2014 and April 2018, Statements of Special Educational Need will be replaced by Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plans. A type of state-funded school set up to meet the needs of children with Statements of Special Educational Need. 262 Apply online
266 Jargon Buster Statement of Special Educational Need (SEN) Statutory home to school transport Tie-break Tracking (pupil tracking) Transport Appeal Trust school Twins and Multiple Births Voluntary Aided school Voluntary Controlled school 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. A new Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice came into effect on 1 September Between September 2014 and April 2018, Statements of Special Educational Need will be replaced by Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plans. 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. For school admissions purposes this is the responsibility placed on the Local Authority by central government to know and/or find out where or how a child is receiving an education suitable to their age, aptitude and ability. 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 date of birth 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 is the case even if this would create a class of more than 30 children per one qualified teacher. 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. A type of state-funded school in which a foundation or trust (usually a Christian denomination) has some formal influence in the running of the school but where the Local Authority (LA) employs the school s staff, is responsible for school admissions and owns the school s estate.

267 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 2016 but before 5 February 2016 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 2016 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 18 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. 264 Apply online
268 Applying 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] 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 Four primary, infant or junior schools will be selected at random each year 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 or nursery. 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 2015, 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 1. Families Information Service Starting school in 2016/
269 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. 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. 266 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 an Education Healthcare Plan or a Statement of Special Educational Need? A very small number of children in Oxfordshire have an Education Healthcare Plan or 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 an Education Healthcare Plan or 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. Apply online 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 child arrangements 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.
270 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. Some schools require proof that your child has been baptised. If you are sending a baptismal certificate with this CAF then please read the text Families Information Service Starting school in 2016/
271 Applying in this section and tick the box. If you are sending an original baptismal certificate and want it back, you must tell us this. 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. By ticking the box and signing the form you have given your explicit consent to Oxfordshire County Council to collect personal data and sensitive personal data on you and your child for the processing of your application for a school place. You have also given your explicit consent to Oxfordshire County Council to disclose your personal data and your sensitive personal data to other agencies and admissions authorities (third parties) for the purposes of processing your application for a school place. The information you tell us on this form will never be shared with an individual or agency that is not entitled to see or know the information. By ticking the box and signing the form, you have also confirmed that the information you have provided is accurate to the best of your knowledge. Oxfordshire County Council will store your personal data and sensitive personal data securely.

Replying to the allocation letter With your allocation letter, we will send you a response reply form. You should fill this in and send it back to the Admissions Team by 9 May If you do not send the response form back by 7 May 2016, 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 on 18 April 2016 and offer it to another applicant in the second allocation round.
