It sets out the arrangements for the transfer of children to secondary schools for the academic year beginning in September 2017 and gives details of how places are allocated. The law gives parents/carers the right to express a preference for which school you wish your child to attend. It is very important that you understand that this is not the same as being able to choose a school. Admission to your school of first preference depends on meeting the criteria that are explained in this booklet. The booklet tells you about the schools in Warrington, how to apply for a place and what to do if we cannot meet the preferences that you express. Please take the time to read the booklet carefully before completing your application, even if you have already decided which schools you prefer. Each school produces a prospectus which contains a great deal of information about that school. It is also useful to visit the schools which interest you before completing the application form. Our schools welcome visits from prospective parents/carers; please telephone the school for a convenient appointment. If you have any queries about individual schools, do not hesitate to contact the Headteacher concerned. Finally, please make sure that you submit your application before the deadline date, 28 October 2016, as late applications will normally only be considered after the main allocation of places is finished. If you do not submit your form on or before this date, it will reduce our ability to meet the preference for schools that you express. Yours sincerely Steve Reddy Executive Director, Families and Wellbeing Directorate Apply online until 28 October 2016 at www.warrington.gov.uk/admissions 7 Information about schools Admission Arrangements 2017/18 All admission authorities must have admission arrangements that clearly set out how children will be admitted to their school, including the criteria that will be applied if there are more applications received for the school than there are places available (oversubscription criteria). Admission arrangements must be determined annually by 15 April, even if they have not changed from the previous years and a consultation has not been required. The arrangements detailed in this book were determined on 15 April 2016. A copy of the full arrangements for community schools are available to download from our website: www.warrington.gov.uk/admissions Raising the participation age The Education and Skills Act 2008 increased the minimum age at which young people in England can leave learning, thus requiring them to continue in education or training to the age of 18. Raising the participation age does not necessarily mean young people must stay in school; they will be able to choose one of the following options: • Full-time education, such as school, college or home education • Work-based learning, such as an apprenticeship • Part-time education or training if they are employed, self-employed or volunteering for more than 20 hours a week. All 11 year olds starting secondary education in September 2017 will continue their learning in education and training until the age of 18. Types of secondary school There are three types of secondary schools in Warrington. The names stand for the different roles which the Local Authority, school Governors or Academy Trusts have in running the school. These are: Academies and free schools The Academy Trust is the admission authority for the school. Each Academy Trust has it’s own published admission criteria as detailed on pages 19-30 and is responsible for the allocation of places. The Local Authority informs parents of the allocation decisions on the school’s behalf. Community schools The Local Authority is the admission authority for all community schools and deals with the allocation of places using the published admission criteria for community schools as detailed on page 31. Faith schools The Governing Body is the admission authority for the school. Each Governing Body has it’s own published admission criteria as detailed on pages 34 - 45 and is responsible for the allocation of places. The Local Authority informs parents of the allocation decisions on the school’s behalf. www.warrington.gov.uk/admissions 8ApplyApply online online until until 31 October28 October 2012 2016 at www.warrington.gov.uk/admissions at 3 University Technology College and Studio School Technology Colleges and Studio Schools are academies which cater for key stage 4 and 5 children only (entry at years 10 and 12 only).

    DETERMINATION Case reference: ADA 2459-2474, 2478, 2487-89, 2495-2503, 2532, 2536 Objectors: Parents and other individuals Admission Authorities: Warrington Borough Council and the Governing Bodies of Great Sankey High School Warrington, University Academy Warrington, Beamont Collegiate Academy and Penketh High School Date of decision: 29 August 2013 Determination In accordance with section 88H(4) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, I partially uphold the objections to the admission arrangements determined by Warrington Borough Council and Great Sankey High School. I have also considered the arrangements for Great Sankey High School in accordance with section 88I(5). I determine that they do not conform with the requirements relating to admission arrangements. By virtue of section 88K (2), the adjudicator’s decision is binding on the admission authorities. The School Admissions Code requires the admission authorities to revise their admission arrangements as quickly as possible. The referral 1. Under section 88H(2) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, (the Act), 30 objections have been referred to the Adjudicator by parents and other individuals (the objectors), about the admission arrangements (the arrangements) for Great Sankey High School (the school), an academy school for boys and girls aged 11 to 18, for September 2014, and about the admission arrangements determined by Warrington Borough Council, the local authority (the LA) for community secondary schools in the LA’s area. 2. The objection concerns the removal of feeder school status from most of the primary schools in the borough, each of which was a feeder primary school to one of the secondary schools in the LA’s area for admissions in September 2013.
