This will normally be evidenced by a certificate of reception into the order of catechumens. iv) ‘Eastern Christian Church’ includes Orthodox Churches, and is normally evidenced by a certificate of baptism or reception from the authorities of the Church.

The school is committed to taking its fair share of vulnerable children who are hard to place, in accordance with locally agreed protocols. Accordingly, outside the normal round of admissions, the governing body are empowered to give absolute priority to a child where admission is requested under any local protocol which carries the agreement of both the governing body and the diocese for the current admission year. The governing body has this power even when admitting such a child would exceed the normal admission number.

In the event of over-subscription and when deciding between applicants who ostensibly have equal entitlement the Governors will use the following criteria when deciding priority:

a) The Total points scored based on the answers given in sections 1 to 6 of the religious reference which relate to attendance and involvement of families (see section b points 1 to 7 below) will be the first deciding factor.

Where applicants have the same total number of points, the following criteria will be used as a tie break. i. Looked after children (as defined by the LA as children in public care) with distance criteria as set out below (iii – vi) being used as a tie break. ii.

APPENDIX 23

CRITERIA FOR ADMISSION TO NORTHOLT HIGH SCHOOL IN SEPTEMBER 2009

There are places for 240 students to each Year Group of compulsory school age.

Should there be more applications than places available, then the following criteria will be applied in the order set out below :

i) Children in Public Care (Looked After Children)

ii) Brothers and Sisters must still be attending Northolt High School at the time of the sibling's admission

iii) Exceptional medical circumstances relating to the child

iv) Exceptional personal circumstances

v) Children who live within closest proximity to the school

N.B. a) Children who qualify under i) - v) above and for whom a statement of special educational needs has been made under the Education Act 1981 or in respect of whom the decision to make an assessment has been notified under section 5 thereof, provided that these needs can be met either within existing provision available at the School or by additional provision agreed with the appropriate education authority.

b) To qualify under iii) an applicant must send a supporting letter or report from the child’s consultant. If this is not done then we will not consider the application under this criterion. You must also include any personal circumstances you want us to consider.

4. ADMISSION LIMITS

Northolt High School’s Admission Limits is set at 240 students for each year group of compulsory school age.

5. NOTES ON ADMISSION CRITERIA ii) Brothers or Sisters Attending the School

Parents who hope to be allocated a place for their child because he/she has a brother or sister currently attending Northolt High School, MUST claim priority on the Application Form. Failure to bring the details of this relationship to the attention of the Governors by this means, will remove any entitlement to priority consideration.

The qualifying relationship is brother or sister. Other extended family relationships do not qualify.

Parents/Carers are required to provide sufficient details of the brother or sister (who forms the basis of the application under this criterion) to enable the Governors to satisfy themselves that a valid qualifying relationship exists.

When application is made using the brother or sister criterion, a FULL version of the birth certificates of the child for whom application is being made and the brother or sister whose attendance at Northolt High provides the entitlement, must be sent with the application form. Failure to provide these certificates by the final date for application will invalidate an application on sibling grounds. iii) Medical Grounds

After places have been offered in category i) above, the Governors will be prepared to consider applications on medical grounds only if details are received with the Application Form. Details must include :

- an indication on the Application Form that the parents/carers of the child concerned intend to apply on medical grounds

- full information about the medical condition.

Failure by the parents/carers to satisfy both of these requirements could make an application on medical grounds invalid.

The medical grounds which the Governors will be prepared to take into account will be a long term medical condition. The Governors will not be satisfied that sufficient medical grounds exist when the relevant condition, such as asthma attacks, migraine or symptoms of anxiety, are identified only after parents have been notified of the Governor’s decision not to offer a place to a child.

The Governors will need to be satisfied that admission to Northolt High School is necessary because :

- the medical condition requires attendance at a school that possesses specific facilities for meeting the needs of the child and which Northolt High possesses but which are not normally possessed by other schools in the locality.

- the child’s needs, arising out of the medical condition, require attendance at Northolt High School as a necessity rather than just as beneficial or advantageous.

At the time when an application requesting a place on medical grounds is submitted, a separate sealed envelope marked ‘Confidential’ and containing the following must accompany it :

- details of the medical condition which forms the basis of the application - an explanation of why the medical condition necessitates attendance at Northolt High School - a medical certificate in support of the application.

Failure to provide this information by the final date for applications could make an application on medical grounds invalid. Evidence can be considered at a later date in exceptional circumstances. Governors reserve the right to make further enquiries in order to satisfy themselves that the conditions on which parents or carers have based an application meets the grounds indicated above. If parents apply for a place under this criterion they will be deemed to have given their consent to such enquiries being made. iv) Special Personal Circumstances

After places have been offered in categories i) and ii) above, the Governors will be prepared to consider applications of special personal circumstances only if details are received with the Application Form. Details must include :

- an indication on the Application Form that the parents/carers of the child concerned intend to apply on the grounds of special personal circumstances

- full information about the circumstances.

Failure by the parents/carers to satisfy both of these requirements will make an application under this criterion invalid.

The special personal circumstances which the Governors will be prepared to take into account will be long term circumstances. The Governors will not be satisfied that sufficient grounds exist when the circumstances are identified only after parents have been notified of the Governor’s decision not to offer a place to a child.

The Governors will need to be satisfied that admission to Northolt High School is necessary because :

- the circumstances require attendance at Northolt High School specifically and no other local school can meet the needs of the child

- the child’s needs, arising out of the special circumstances, require attendance at Northolt High School as a necessity rather than just as beneficial or advantageous.

Under this criterion, the Governors may be prepared to take into account a chronic medical condition of members of a child’s immediate family provided they are satisfied that this necessitates the child’s admission to Northolt High School and provided the information is disclosed.

At the time when an application requesting a place on the grounds of special personal circumstances is submitted, a separate sealed envelope marked ‘Confidential’ and containing the following must accompany it :

- details of the special personal circumstances which form the basis of the application,

- an explanation of why the circumstances necessitates attendance at Northolt High School

- a letter from an appropriate agent (e.g. Doctor, Social Worker) in support of the application.

Failure to provide this information by the final date for applications could make an application on the grounds of special personal circumstances invalid. Evidence will be considered at a later date in exceptional circumstances.

Governors reserve the right to make further enquiries in order to satisfy themselves that the conditions on which parents or guardians have based an application meet the grounds indicated above. If parents apply for a place under this criterion they will be deemed to have given their consent to such enquiries being made. v) Closest Proximity

After places have been offered in categories i), ii) and iii) above, the Governors will offer places under the closest proximity criterion. Closest proximity is assessed in the following manner :

- distance from the child's permanent home address to Northolt High School. This is measured by using the shortest route used by a pedestrian, along public highways and footpaths which are lit. Common land is excluded from consideration.

APPENDIX 24

WEST LONDON ACADEMY General West London Academy is a publicly funded independent school. The Academy has an agreed annual admission number of 60 pupils per year for the Primary School and 180 students for the High School. The Academy is not a selective school and admits children against the following process and criteria: Consideration of applications 1. The Academy will consider all applications for places. Where fewer than 60 Primary applications and 180 Secondary applications are received, the Academy will offer places to all those who have applied. 2. The Academy may refuse admission to particular applicants in cases where fewer than the published admission number have applied. These are applicants who have been excluded from two or more other schools, and the ability to refuse admissions runs for a period of two years from the last exclusion.

Procedures where the Academy is oversubscribed Where the number of applications for admission is greater than the published admissions number, applications will be considered against the criteria set out below. The criteria will be applied in the order in which they are set out below: a. Pupils with statements of Special Educational Needs where the Academy has agreed to be named on the statement; and looked after children, as defined under section 22 of the Children Act 1989; b. Confirmed special medical reason which necessitates attendance at West London Academy (a letter from a hospital consultant is required as proof of such a reason); c. Special personal circumstances which necessitate attendance at West London Academy. Such circumstances will be assessed by the Admissions and Appeals Committee of West London Academy; d. Pupil already attends West London Academy Primary School; e. Brother or sister attending West London Academy Primary or High Schools. This includes siblings living in the same household, step-siblings and adopted siblings, but does not apply to cousins; f. Proximity to the Academy, as measured by comparing the distance from the student’s permanent home address to the front gate of the school by a safe walking route, with those living nearer being accorded the higher priority.

Arrangements for appeals panels a. Parents will be given 14 days to lodge an appeal on receipt of notification that their application for a place was unsuccessful. The reasons for refusal will be indicated on this notice. Appeals will be heard by an appeal panel. b. The Appeal Panel will be independent of the Academy and will be composed of three members who will include: • At least one person who has no personal experience of the Academy defined as a ‘lay member’; • At least one person with experience in education. c. Parents will be given 14 days notice of their appeal panel hearing. Decisions by the appeal panel are final. The arrangements for appeals will be in line with the Code of Practice on School Admission Appeals published by the Department for Education and Skills as it applies to Foundation and Voluntary Aided Schools.
