TRANSFER TO SECONDARY SCHOOL, SEPTEMBER 2017 APPLICATIONS FOR KING’S OAK ACADEMY

306 applications were received by 31 October 2016 for King’s Oak Academy which has an Admission Level of 150. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to meet all the requests for places at King’s Oak Academy and it has, therefore, been necessary to use King’s Oak Academy’s published admission criteria to decide which applicants should be offered the available places. It is important to stress that experience suggests that, beyond 15 March, it is likely that further places will become available. For children who initially have not been successful in securing a place at King’s Oak, this situation may change beyond March. Parents may wish, therefore, to request that their child’s name is added to the waiting list for a place, or they still have the right to appeal.

1 place was required for a child with a Statement of Special Educational Needs or an Education, Health and Care Plan which names King’s Oak Academy.

The remaining 149 places have been offered to applicants in the following priority order:

25 local siblings.

55 children for whom King’s Oak Academy was indicated as a preference who live within the consortium area for which , King’s Oak Academy, School and Winterbourne International Academy have equal responsibility.

69 children for whom King’s Oak Academy was indicated as a preference who live outside the consortium area for which Downend School, King’s Oak Academy, Mangotsfield School and Winterbourne International Academy have equal responsibility who live closest to King’s Oak Academy. Distances from home to school are measured in a direct line between the address point of the child’s home and a central point within the main school buildings using the Local Authority’s computerised mapping system. The farthest child from King’s Oak Academy offered a place under this criterion is measured to a distance of 1.646 miles from the school.
