The main principle of admission to Lytchett Minster School is to maintain the character of the school as a comprehensive school, providing for the needs of young people within the 11-18 age range living in our priority admission areas defined below and attending a named feeder school. We have a separate admission policy for the sixth form. Admission to our school is not dependent on any ‘voluntary’ contribution. The school will endeavour to provide places for students who live outside the priority admission areas and who do not attend a feeder school whose parents wish them to attend Lytchett Minster School provided they can be accommodated within the admission limits. Students will be admitted at the age of 11+ without reference to ability or aptitude using the criteria below. The admission number/limit into Year 7 will be 260. The school participates in the Local Authority co-ordinated scheme and all deadlines within that should be adhered to by applicants. As required by the School Admissions Code 2011, the school will give top priority to applications on behalf of children who are ‘looked after’. A ‘child who is looked after’ (CLA) is a child who is in the care of a local authority or being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions.

  • Examine the Value of Place-Names As Evidence for the History, Landscape And, Especially, Languages of South East Dorset
    Examine the Value of Place-Names as Evidence for the History, Landscape and, Especially, Languages of South East Dorset. Gemma Ellis Overview This paper analyses 40 place-names in South East Dorset, stretching from the modern boundary of Hampshire, along the Purbeck coast, to just east of Weymouth (Fig. 1). Continuing the trend of place-names throughout England, most names have Old English (OE) origins, as the Anglo-Saxons renamed places as they immigrated to land which was largely swamp or forest.1 However, there are three names of Brittonic origin. Welsh influence is expected due to the relatively close proximity to Wales. Figure 2 shows the large amount of surviving Celtic names in Dorset. For a similar reason I have found no direct Old Norse linguistic influence because Dorset was securely in the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Wessex when Danelaw was enacted in the 9th century to separate Viking invaders. Despite large Roman settlements at Poole, there is little evidence of the Latin language because it was not generally spoken in rural areas.2 Although, Dorchester, to the west of my corpus, retains the chester element because a Roman road went from there to Wimborne Minster and down to Poole Harbour. On the other hand, there are many Old French (OFr) place-name elements which originate from Norman aristocratic family personal names. I will be dividing the place-names by Figure 1 Maps illustrating the position of my corpus. whether they are topographical, habitative or Place-names marked in red are derived from OE, blue personal and within each category will study the have Celtic elements, yellow have Norman family names’ linguistic origins, offering more insight names, green are modern names, and pink have Latin or into the area’s history and language change.
