NURSERY EDUCATION NURSERY NATIONAL CURRICULUM YEAR GROUPS YEAR CURRICULUM NATIONAL TYPES OF SCHOOLS IN CARDIFF

Cardiff has 125 schools, providing education to children and young people between the ages of 3 and 18 years old, as follows:

School Type Age Range Number of Schools Nursery 3 - 4 3 Primary 4 - 11 99 Secondary 11 – 16 2 11 – 18 16 Special Various ages 7 Pupil Referral Unit 11-16 1

Schools are classified as Community, Foundation, Voluntary Controlled or Voluntary Aided.

The majority of schools in Cardiff are community schools. There are: • 18 Welsh-medium community schools (15 primary schools and 3 secondary schools) • 67 English-medium community schools (58 primary schools and 9 secondary schools) • 2 dual-stream (English and Welsh community schools, both of which are primary) • 7 Special Schools and a further 21 Specialist Resource Bases, for pupils with additional learning needs, attached to mainstream schools.

Denominational education is provided at 28 schools. • 12 are Church in Wales schools (10 primary schools and 2 secondary schools) • 16 are Catholic schools (13 primary schools and 3 secondary schools)

The Schools directory is included at pages 64-84.

Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools usually have their admissions controlled by the Local Authority (LA). In the case of St Mellons Church in Wales Primary School the Council has agreed to delegate responsibility for admissions to the Governing Body of the school. Applications should be made directly to the school.

Voluntary Aided (Faith) Schools control their own admissions applications and allocations. Admission to Voluntary Aided Schools is determined by the Governing Body of the individual school.

You should contact the school directly for information in relation to admissions, policies and appeals for that school. Details of these schools and links to their admissions policies can be found at pages 80-82.

Applications for Whitchurch High School, Corpus Christi R.C High School and St Teilo’s CiW High School will come directly to Cardiff Council Admissions. You can apply online, just like any other community school. For full copies of their admission policies please contact the individual schools.

Please note, for applications to Corpus Christi RC High School and St Teilo’s CW High School you must also complete a Supplementary Form which is available from each school.

Welsh Immersion Units Immersion Welsh Secondary to a Welsh-medium transfer School normally Primary Welsh-medium attending Pupils on pages 40-45. with the arrangements School in accordance WELSH-MEDIUM EDUCATION WELSH-MEDIUM ‘Any other reasons?’ Speaking Welsh can help children build a fuller understanding of their wider community and their place within it. Welsh provides children with access to a culture – including literature, music, digital media, and a host of other things - that might otherwise be unavailable to them. For some people, the choice of Welsh- medium education is based on personal experiences: they know people who are bilingual or have bilingual children, and so want their own children to be able to be a part of the Welsh-speaking community, while also being completely at home in English.

‘Do families like mine choose Welsh-medium education?’ Every family - and every child - is unique, of course. But all kinds of families take advantage of Welsh medium education: families who don’t speak Welsh and those who do; families from all kinds of ethnic and religious backgrounds; families from Wales and those who’ve moved here from elsewhere.

‘We don’t speak Welsh at home - would that make my child stand out?’ Not at all. In fact, the vast majority - over 70% - of children in Welsh-medium education in Cardiff do not speak Welsh at home. And for some of those, a language other than English is the main language of the home. So coming from a non-Welsh speaking background is absolutely normal and the curriculum is designed with that in mind. Welsh-medium schools do not expect that children speak Welsh when they start, but will help those children to become fluent in Welsh before the end of their first year.

‘We’re not Welsh - would it be strange for us to choose Welsh-medium education?’ Not at all. You don’t have to be Welsh to speak Welsh. Parents of children in Welsh-medium schools in Cardiff have come from all over the world: Wales, the rest of the UK, Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America … While some might consider themselves to be Welsh, others might not - the key point is that learning Welsh is open to all.

‘Does Welsh-medium education have lower standards for English?’ Absolutely not. Children leaving Welsh-medium primary schools are expected to reach exactly the same standard of English as those in English-medium primary schools. And in secondary schools children in Welsh-medium education sit exactly the same GCSEs and A-levels as those in English-medium schools. (The reverse is not true: children in English-medium education do not reach the same standards or sit the same level of exams in Welsh as those in Welsh medium education.)

‘How can I help my child with homework if I don’t speak Welsh?’ As most children don’t speak Welsh at home, Welsh medium schools are very experienced in supporting both pupils and parents. For younger pupils, homework instructions will be given in writing in both English and Welsh. At a later age, children will be able to explain their work to their parents themselves. In fact, research suggests that dealing with their work in two languages can actually help children understand the subject that they are studying. The education website Hwb (http://hwb.wales.gov.uk) also gives access to a range of nationally provided digital learning tools and resources.

‘Will learning Welsh make it harder to learn another language?’ Not at all. There’s almost no limit to a child’s ability to learn languages. In most European countries, young children can commonly speak two or three languages. Speaking one language can help reinforce the other, making it easier for the child to learn more languages later on.

‘Will it be difficult to get my child into Welsh medium education?’ All Welsh-medium schools in Cardiff are community schools. So the application procedure is exactly as it is for English-medium community schools - the child’s home language or religion or national identity are not considered in the application process.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ACCEPT THE OFFER OF A SCHOOL PLACE

If you want to decline the offer of a school place it is most important that you advise us as soon as possible so a place can be offered to another child.

What will happen if you have not accepted a school place by September 2019? If the Council has not been able to offer a place at any of your preferred schools, you will be provided with details of schools with vacancies at that time, provided you have not informed the Council you have secured an offer of a place for your child at a Faith, Foundation School or Independent School.

If the Council’s records indicate that you have still not accepted a place for your child to start school from September 2019 or that you have not made other arrangements the Education Welfare Service will contact you.

Under Section 7 of the Education Act 1996, parents have a legal duty to ensure that their child receives an education suitable to his/her age, ability and aptitude and any special needs. Should you fail to register your child at a school and not make suitable alternative education arrangements, then Cardiff Council may have to consider taking legal action against you.

Catchment Area: Children living in this area get a higher priority for admission to their catchment school compared to other schools they may be interested in. Catchment schools are not always the closest school to your child’s home. You can find out about your catchment schools by checking online www.cardiff.gov.uk/onlinemaps. Living in a school’s catchment area does not guarantee a place.

Change of circumstance: There may be changes in a family’s circumstances after the initial outcome of the application was issued (for example, a change of address). This change may mean that the application no longer meets the grounds on which it was originally assessed. In this situation the application will be re-assessed and in some circumstances may result in the withdrawal of the original offer of a place. Careful consideration should therefore be given to changing address. It is important that you tell us if you move house after you have made your application.

For Annual Admissions, if you move between the date of application and the start of the autumn term (Tuesday 1 September 2020) your application will not be assessed on the new address until after the initial allocation of places.

Child’s residence On your application, you must use your child’s place of residence. This is where the child lives for most of the time and the majority of the school week (atleast 3 out of 5 school days). This must be where your child lives at the point of application and until the school year begins. It is where you and your child live together, unless you can show that they live elsewhere with someone with legal care and control of your child. For admission purposes, this must be a residential property that is your child’s only or main residence.

When considering applications for oversubscribed schools, stringent residence checks will be completed. Please be aware we carry out spot residence checks. The following are examples of evidence you may be required to provide: • Council tax information • Recent utility bills • Driving licence • Child benefit information • Bank statement • Tenancy agreement.

We can refuse to accept the address stated if there is insufficient evidence or we receive information that suggests a false address has been provided. If we have concerns about the address provided, we will ask for more evidence to confirm where you and your child live. If satisfactory evidence is not received a school place will not be offered on the basis of residence.

SCHOOL PLACES CAN BE REMOVED IF WE RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT SUGGESTS YOU DO NOT LIVE AT THE ADDRESS PROVIDED IN YOUR APPLICATION.

Multiple Birth siblings Multiple birth siblings include twins, triplets, etc. When we allocate places, we give first priority in specific criteria to applications from multiple birth siblings.

Oversubscription criteria. These are the criteria that we use when a school has more applications than places available. This ensures that places are given fairly to all applicants. Make sure you are familiar with these criteria and provide any evidence needed to support your application.

Parental Responsibility An application may only be made by the “parent” of the child (as defined by Section 578 of the Education Act 1996). This includes any person who is not a parent of the child but has parental responsibility for them or who has care of them. If you are not the parent then you must arrange for the application to be completed by them or provide written permission from them. If you are not the parent but have parental responsibility, you will need to prove this by providing official documentation.

Preferences In your application you are asked to provide preferences. These are the schools that you would like your child to attend. You should put them in the order that you want them, with the first being your highest preference. We will try to offer you a place in your highest preference. Each preference is considered equally until we are able to offer you a place. Each preference will be assessed against the Council’s published Oversubscription Criteria.

You are not guaranteed a place at any particular school. Please consider which preferences you submit and the order you place them.

Refusal and waiting list If you have not been offered a place in your preferred schools, your application will be placed on a waiting list. Applications received will remain on the waiting list until 18 December 2020. After this time, an In Year Transfer application will need to be made.

Shared Parental Responsibility Where parents have shared responsibility for a child, and the child lives with both parents for parts of the week the home address will be determined as the property where the child lives for the majority of the school week (i.e. 3 out of 5 school days). Parents will be required to provide documentary evidence to support the address they wish to be considered as the child’s main home for admission purposes.

Siblings You must provide information on a child’s siblings if you want your application to be assessed on these terms. A sibling, for this purpose, is: A brother or sister, a half brother or sister (children who have one parent in common), an adopted or fostered brother or sister, a step brother or sister (children who are related because their parents are married, co-habiting or in a civil partnership), but in every case the children must be living in the same family unit at the same address and is enrolled and attending the school when your child is due to start school.

APPLY ON TIME

• Make sure you complete your application form accurately and on time, providing all the information requested in the form to allow us to properly assess your application. • Submit all supporting evidence by the closing date. • It is your responsibility to provide any specific information that you believe to be essential to the oversubscription criteria. • Any applications received after the closing date will be looked at after the results for on time applications are issued. • A late application means it is much less likely you will get a place at a school you prefer.

USE ALL YOUR PREFERENCES

• You can only apply once for each school so use all your preference options. • Each preference is treated equally. • The order you put your school preferences in is important. We will ALWAYS allocate the highest preference where possible. • At nursery and primary level the Council only processes applications for community schools. • At secondary level you can include Whitchurch High School, Corpus Christi Catholic High School and St Teilo’s CiW High School. • Please apply for all other faith schools separately and direct to the school(s) themselves.

CHOOSE WISELY

• Think about the Council’s oversubscription criteria. • You have a limited number of preferences so be realistic. • Consider including your catchment school as a preference. • Do not assume you will be given a place just because you have a sibling in the school or your child attended the school’s nursery. • Do not assume you are in catchment just because you live near a school. Check the Council’s website to make sure: www.cardiff.gov.uk/onlinemaps

Many issues that worry parents and children can be resolved without the need to move schools.

WE STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST A TRANSFER REQUEST WHERE POSSIBLE.

Talking to your child and staff at your child’s present school may avoid the need for your child to transfer. It is important that you consider whether a transfer is really the best option for your child. If your request for a School Transfer is for any of the reasons listed below you should take the steps indicated before applying:

The Council will not normally exceed the school’s admission number or breach the limitations imposed by statutory maximum class size of 30 where this applies.

In all cases the request and the reasons for the admission request will be made known to the Head teacher of both the current and prospective school. Applications may be referred to the Council’s Fair Access Panel for consideration.

Where a school transfer is approved in cases that are not the result of a change of address, the transfer will normally take place at the beginning of the next school term to minimise disruption to your own child and other children’s education.

Applications received in respect of pupils who are the subject of a Statement of Special Educational Needs will be forwarded to and dealt with by the Additional Learning Needs Casework Team. The telephone number is (029) 2233 0711.

What happens at the appeal? Your appeal will normally be heard in private, but, if there are several appeals for one school the first stage of the appeal may be done as a group with other parents present who have also appealed. The appeal hearing is held in 2 parts.

1. In the first part, Cardiff Council will explain why they turned down your application and why the school would be too crowded if extra pupils are admitted. You will be able to ask Cardiff Council questions about their reasons for refusal. You and Cardiff Council will then leave the room whilst the Panel makes their decision.

If at this stage the Panel decides that there was no need to refuse a place, for instance, if the school would not be too crowded, the hearing will end and you will be informed that the appeal has been successful.

2. If the Panel decides that there were reasons for refusal on the grounds that the school would be too full, then a second stage will follow.

The second stage is always individual (private) appeals. Cardiff Council will explain which other schools are available for your child, and using a map will show how far they are from your home address. You will then be able to explain why your child should be provided with a place at the school even though it is full. Cardiff Council can ask you questions and the Panel may also ask you questions so that they can understand all of the circumstances.

What happens after the hearing? After the hearing, you will receive a telephone call at the end of the day (or at the end of the day when all appeals have been held for group appeals) confirming whether or not the appeal has been successful – a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ about whether your child can attend the school. After that you will usually receive a full written decision notice giving you the reasons for the Panel’s decision within 5 working days although this may be longer between April and July.

The decision of the appeal panel is final and legally binding on you and Cardiff Council. The decision can only be overturned by the courts where either you or Cardiff Council are successful in applying for Judicial Review of that decision.

If you consider there was maladministration on the part of the Panel, or a fundamental flaw in the way the Panel conducted the case or arrived at its decision you may have the right to make a complaint to the Public Services Ombudsman, the National Assembly for Wales.

What happens if I change my mind about the alternative schools offered? You should contact the School Admissions Team on 02920 872087 if you want to accept a place in one of the alternative schools offered at any time before or after the hearing. Please note availability can change on a daily basis, which means School Admissions may provide you with details of different alternative schools.

Was Cardiff Council’s decision to refuse a place one which a reasonable authority would make in the circumstances of the case?

In an Ordinary Prejudice Appeal This means that the Panel will balance the prejudice (unfairness) to the School in admitting another child which may mean it is overcrowded, against the prejudice to your child in not being admitted to that School.

The questions the Panel has to consider are; 1. Is there sufficient evidence to satisfy the Panel that the admission arrangements are lawful? 2. Is it a reasonable admission number? 3. Has the number been reached? 4. Has prejudice to the school been proved? 5. a) Has Cardiff Council properly implemented its admission arrangements? b) If not, would the child have been offered a placed if Cardiff Council had properly implemented its admission arrangements? 6. Would there be more prejudice to the child if not admitted, than prejudice to the school if the child is admitted?

FREE SCHOOL MEALS

Free School Meals are available to pupils whose parents/guardians are in receipt of one of the following Benefits:

• Income Support • Jobseeker’s Allowance (income-based) • Employment and Support Allowance (income-related) • Child Tax Credit, with a household income of £16,190 or less • Universal Credit with a net earned income below £7,400 • Pension Credit (guarantee element)

Children attending Independent’/ Private schools are unable to receive Free School Meals.

Working Tax Credit is NOT a qualifying Benefit and if you are in receipt of Working Tax Credit, you will not be entitled to Free School Meals even if you get this together with one of the benefits above. This is because Working Tax Credit is intended to include assistance towards the cost of school meals.

If you meet this criteria, a Free School Meals application will need to be completed, these are available in all Council HUB offices, schools or can be downloaded from the Cardiff Council website.

Your completed application will then need to be submitted to the Free School Meals department for assessment. This can be done via the post, email or by attending a HUB. We will then check if you are entitled to receive this payment with the Department for Work and Pensions

By Free Post to: CARDIFF COUNCIL HOUSING BENEFIT, PO Box 6000, Cardiff, CF11 0WZ Email: [email protected]

If your application is successful, the free school meals award will begin from the date we receive your application form.

Who is entitled to Free School Transport? Parents are able to choose an English-medium, Welsh-medium or a denominational school. Free transport will be given to the nearest suitable school (within the Cardiff Council boundary) as long as the home address is more than the statutory walking distance from the school; (2 miles for a primary school pupil and 3 miles for a secondary school pupil). No transport is provided to pupils/students aged 16+ in Year 12 and above.

What transport is available? If your child qualifies for free home to school transport, the Passenger Transport Team will normally give permission to travel on a special contract vehicle if there is one serving your area. In other cases a bus pass will be provided to travel on public transport.

How will you be notified? The Passenger Transport Team automatically checks eligibility for free school transport. Details of travel arrangements are sent out to parents in August. Bus passes are issued direct to the schools for distribution during the first week of the Autumn Term. During this period, pupils can travel on the school buses using the letter confirming the transport arrangements.

What if your child is not entitled to Free School Transport? Pupils who do not qualify for free transport are sometimes permitted to travel on buses contracted by the Council, on payment of a fee, but only where a spare seat is available. The provision of this facility does not represent an obligation on the Council as it is entirely dependent on the capacity of the vehicle used. It may be necessary to withdraw the facility at short notice if a child who is eligible for free home to school transport requires the seat.

For information on other travel options please visit Keep Cardiff Moving which includes a link to Traveline Cymru to help you plan journeys by bike and public transport, Cardiff’s Walking and Cycling map and advice on cycle training and where to hire or buy a bike

Full details of Cardiff Council School Transport Policy can be found on the Council’s website: www.cardiff. gov.uk/schooltransport
