Finding a school place Issue 9 Information for parents about applying for a school place during the school year

1 Welcome

Dear parents and carers Welcome to the borough of Barking and Dagenham. We are very pleased that you are considering sending your child to one of our schools. This e-booklet is designed to help you through the ‘In-year application process’. Barking and Dagenham is a small, friendly borough with schools and other learning opportunities close to all neighbourhoods. The borough has a good reputation for its teaching and learning. We are very proud of our schools’ achievements. We have a total of four all-through schools, 42 infant, junior and primary schools, 8 secondary schools and one technical and training school. All our schools are fully comprehensive and have a clear commitment to raising the levels of achievement for all their pupils and students. We believe that attending any of the schools in Barking and Dagenham will provide the educational opportunities your child needs to prepare for future life. By law, all children aged between 5 and 18 must be receiving an education or taking part in training. There is a different process for dealing with applications for children with special needs or those aged 16 to 19. If your child has a statement of special educational need or Educational Health Care (EHC) plan you must contact the EHC Team (see page 36). If your child is aged 16 to 19 they must receive education, employment or training, and the 16 to 19 Careers Guidance and Information Service will deal with your request (see page 36). If your child is aged between 5 and 16 and you would like to apply for a place at any of our schools during the school year, you will need to apply to the School Admissions Team, and not directly to the schools. This e-booklet is designed to help you through this ‘In-year’ process.

5 In-year admission – For children in reception to Year-11

If you have moved to our borough and would like to apply for a place at any our schools, you will need to apply online using our in-year hub. If you want to apply for a school outside the borough, you will need to contact that borough and follow their application process. What you need to do There are three possible stages you need to go through to apply for a school place. The stage you follow depends on whether you want to apply for a place at one of our faith schools or for a place at our other schools. If one of your preferences is a faith school, you need to go through all three stages. For all other schools, please do not follow stage three.

Fill in your application online through our in-year hub (see page 9 for the website address). The ‘fair access’ information we ask for on your application is important as it could help us decide if your child can be considered under our ‘fair access protocol’ (see our website for 1 more details).

At the welcome meeting with the school we offer your child a place at, you will be asked to provide proof of your child’s identity (including their legal name and date of birth) and the address where you and your child are living, as stated on the application form. You must take one original document (no photocopies) from each of lists A, B and C (see page 7) with you 2 to the welcome meeting.

If one of your preferences on your application is a faith school, there are extra steps you must take if you apply under the school’s faith criteria. Church of England schools use an ‘In-year supplementary reference form’ (SIF) and Catholic schools use a ‘Certificate of Catholic practice form’ (CCP) with a cover note. 3 Make sure you read and follow the application process for faith schools, which is listed on page 8 and the relevant criteria on pages 15 to 23.

Stage 1 – Apply online using the in-year hub

The person with parental responsibility for the child must apply. Please remember to provide proof that you are the Apply online now child’s legal guardian if you are not their natural parent. for an in-year school place at You need to apply for each child and answer all questions on our www.lbbd.gov.uk/admissions form. Please read pages 24 to 30 on ‘What you need to know’ before you fill in your form.

66 Application details Use the space below to record the email addresses and passwords you have used to make your application. Your application is only valid once you have pressed the ‘Submit application’ button at the end of the ‘Check & submit’ page. We will then send you a confirmation email.
