Co-ordinated admission arrangements and what they mean

The law requires a Local Authority (LA) to co-ordinate admissions to all primary schools except independent (fee-paying) or special schools) in their area. Primary schools includes infant schools. Essex parents must apply for primary school places by completing the Common Application Form. This can either be completed online at www.essex.gov.uk/admissions, or you can use a paper application form. Please do not do both. Parents can express preferences for up to four schools, both in and out of Essex, in the order in which they would like them considered. On 16 April 2021, parents will be sent one offer of a place at the highest preference school that can be met. If none of the preferences can be met a place will be offered at the nearest Essex school to the child’s home address with a space available. Here are some examples of this process:

Example 1 – Parent has applied for four schools and the first preference can be met: Preference 1 – Offered Preference 2 – Not offered – right to appeal given* Preference 3 – Not offered – right to appeal given* Preference 4 – Not offered – right to appeal given*

Example 2 – Parent has applied for four schools and the second preference can be met: Preference 1 – Not offered – on waiting list and right to appeal given Preference 2 – Offered Preference 3 – Not offered – right to appeal given* Preference 4 – Not offered – right to appeal given*

Example 3 – Parent has applied to four schools and no preference can be met: Preference 1 – Not offered – on waiting list and right to appeal given Preference 2 – Not offered – on waiting list and right to appeal given Preference 3 – Not offered – on waiting list and right to appeal given Preference 4 – Not offered – on waiting list and right to appeal given Child will then be offered a place at the nearest Essex school to the home address with a space available. * You will note from examples 1 and 2 that children are only held on waiting lists for preferences higher than the one that can be met.

On 16 April 2021 (National offer day) Essex resident families will be sent a notification of the school offer being made. This will either be an email (for those that applied online) or a letter for all other applications. Page 6 South Essex

Looked After Children and previously looked after children (as defined in the Primary Education in Essex 2021/2022 booklet); 2. children with a sibling attending the school; 3. children living in the priority admission area; 4. remaining applications. Note 1 The Published Admission Number (PAN) is the number of places that the school has available for the new Reception intake in 2021. In general this will be the same as the PAN for 2020. The total number of applications received was collated on 16 April 2020. The PAN and the number of applications received for 2020 should give you an idea of the demand for places at the school. Treat this information carefully and talk to the school about it. For instance, some applications may have been second, third or fourth preferences and these increase the overall number of applications. However you should be aware that if you only apply for schools that are oversubscribed you may not receive a place at any of them. Note 2 Timing of Admission: As required by law with effect from September 2011, all infant and primary schools provide for the full time admission of all children offered a place in the reception year group from the September following their fourth birthday. This means that you have the right to a full time place at the school your child is offered from September 2021. Parents can request that the date their child is admitted to school is deferred until later in the school year or until the child reaches compulsory school age in the school year. Where entry is deferred, the school will hold the place for that child and not offer it to another child. The parent would not however be able to defer entry beyond the beginning of the term after the child’s fifth birthday, nor beyond the academic year for which the original application was accepted. Parents can also request that their child attends part-time until the child reaches compulsory school age. You would need to check with the individual school(s) what the part-time provision would be. Where parents choose to defer entry, the school may reasonably expect that the child would start at the beginning of a new school term/half term. South Essex Page 7
