All parents are encouraged to apply using the online application system at www.westsussex.gov.uk/admissions All the information you need to help you through the process of applying for a school place is in this booklet. Before you complete your application, please take the time to read this important information, in particular the frequently asked questions pages and the admission arrangements for schools, which may help you decide on the best schools for your child. Before deciding which schools to apply for you are strongly encouraged to visit schools and attend their open sessions, to find out for yourself what they can offer your child. Although most children can be given a place at their parents’ first preference school, this is not always possible if there are more applications for a school than there are places available. When this happens places will be offered by applying the oversubscription criteria. You are strongly advised to provide preferences for the three different secondary schools you would like your child to attend as this provides you with the best chance of getting your child into a school you want. Remember if you want your child to attend their catchment school, you must include this as one of your preferences. It is really important that you apply by the national deadline of Wednesday 31 October 2012. Applying after this deadline may significantly affect the school we can offer. I wish your son or daughter the very best for when they start at their new school.

    Adur & Worthing Playing Pitch Strategy Stage C Needs Assessment Report Adur and Worthing Playing Pitch Strategy Stage C: FINAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT for Adur and Worthing District Council December 2019 1 | P a g e Adur & Worthing Playing Pitch Strategy Stage C Needs Assessment Report CONTENTS 1 Introduction 3 2 Context 8 3 Football 24 4 Cricket 80 5 Rugby 101 6 Hockey 114 7 Tennis and Bowls 124 See also Key Findings and Issues – separate document 2 | P a g e Adur & Worthing Playing Pitch Strategy Stage C Needs Assessment Report 1 INTRODUCTION Introduction 1.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires local planning authorities to set out policies to help enable communities to access high quality open spaces and opportunities for sport and recreation. These policies need to be based on a thorough understanding of local needs for such facilities and opportunities available for new provision. 1.2 In view of the above, in 2019 Adur & Worthing Councils appointed Ethos Environmental Planning to review a joint study completed in 2014 to provide an up-to-date and robust assessment identifying needs, surpluses and deficits in open space, sport and recreation to support the Local Plans. 1.3 The two councils have separate local plans; this study will assist Worthing Borough in the preparation of a new plan and will support the implementation of the Adur Local Plan which was adopted in 2017. The study will also inform the Council’s asset management process, health and well-being plans and its investments and infrastructure funding process. 1.4 In summary the requirements of the brief are to provide: A comprehensive Open Space Assessment, Indoor/Built Sports Facilities Needs Assessment that represents an update to the existing (2014) assessment.

  • 180109 Schools Statement
    Statement by West Sussex MPs West Sussex MPs lobbied hard for the introduction of a National Funding Formula, and the extra £28 million for West Sussex schools has gone a considerable way towards making funding fairer. Our secondary schools will receive up to 12 per cent more funding when the Formula is fully implemented. We recognise that there is further to go, and that schools are facing cost pressures, and we are particularly concerned about the funding of primary schools once transitional help has passed, the sustainability of small rural primary schools and the challenges for schools in less well-off urban areas. We have been in constant discussions with our local schools and West Sussex County Council about these issues. Our schools should be funded on the same basis as those in their peer group across England, although we must be wary of crude comparisons since everyone is agreed that schools in very deprived inner city areas will always have additional needs. This issue remains a high priority for West Sussex MPs, and we will continue to stand up strongly for our local schools, including through representations to the new Education Secretary and the Chancellor. However, this is not just about funding. We are also very concerned about standards which in too many West Sussex schools have not been good enough, and we want to hear more about how improvements will be made. Notes 1. Overall impact of NFF on West Sussex The National Funding Formula delivers on full implementation (on the basis of current pupil numbers) an additional £28 million to West Sussex.
