The booklet can be found on the Norfolk County Council website at www/norfolk.gov.uk/admissions. Education Health and Care Plans(EHCP)/Statements of Special Educational Needs Where a child's EHCP/Statement of Special Educational Needs names a specific school the school must admit the child regardless of whether the school has a place available. The over subscription rules for most schools include children with EHCPs/statements as the first priority to help parents understand that children with statements have the highest priority legally. For these schools the remaining list of rules are used to prioritise applications if the school is over subscribed. Children in Public Care and Looked After Children In oversubscription rules "children in public care" and "looked after children" are defined as looked after children and previously looked after children. Previously looked after children are children who were looked after and ceased to be so because they were adopted or became subject to a Residence Order or Special Guardianship Order. Distance Distance will be measured on a straight line 'crow flies' basis using Ordnance Survey data. The measurement will be taken from the Post Office postcode address point on the child's home to the Post Office postcode address point on the school. Siblings In the oversubscription rules ‘brother’ or ‘sister’ means: brothers or sisters living at the same address including adopted children, step-brothers, step-sisters and children in foster care within a family unit. Some admission authority schools may have a different definition. See the individual school admission policy for details. Refer to “Parents Guide to Admissions to school in Norfolk 2018” for full information Only siblings attending school at the time of your child's proposed admission will be given a higher priority in the oversubscription rules. Children of Staff at the School Admission authorities may give priority in their oversubscription criteria to children of staff at the school in either or both of the following circumstances: a) where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, and/or b) the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage Feeder school. Feeder school priority will only apply in the first year of entry to the school and does not apply in year admissions. Random Allocation Where random allocation is used to determine the allocation of school, applicants will have their names drawn by lots to see who should be offered the place(s). There will be an independent scrutiny of the random allocation process. Children due to transfer Pupils transfer to secondary education from primary schools or junior schools at 11+. Secondary schools are for 11 to 16 year olds or 11-18 year olds if the school has a sixth form. Any parent seeking a place for their child out of their chronological age group will need to apply in writing to the local authority. The admission authority for the school must consider the circumstances of each case. Where the application is accepted the child will be considered alongside all other applicants. Where the application is refused the parent will be offered the right of appeal unless a place can be offered in another year group.
