  • Laureate Academy Admissions Arrangements 2020/2021
    Laureate Academy Admissions Arrangements 2020/2021 Laureate Academy has an annual admission number of 210 pupils. Section 324 of the Education Act 1996 requires the governing bodies of all maintained schools to admit a child with a statement of special educational needs that names their school. Schools must also admit children with an EHC (Education, Health and Care) Plan that names the school. If there are fewer applications than places available at a school all applicants will be admitted. If there are more applications than places available, the criteria outlined below will be used to prioritise applications. Oversubscription criteria Rule 1: Children looked after and children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order). Rule 2: Medical or Social Children for whom it can be demonstrated that they have a particular medical or social need to go to the school, which includes children previously from abroad who were cared for by the state because he or she would not otherwise have been cared for adequately and subsequently adopted. A panel of HCC officers will determine whether the evidence provided is sufficiently compelling to meet the requirements for this rule. The evidence must relate specifically to Laureate Academy and must clearly demonstrate why Laureate Academy is the only school that can meet the child’s needs. Rule 3: Sibling Children who have a sibling on the roll of the school or linked school at the time of application*. This applies to Years 7 to 13.

    Nettleden with Potten End Parish Council www.nettledenpottenendpc.org.uk T: 01442 781124 E: [email protected] Nettleden with Potten End Parish Council Comments on the Dacorum Local Plan 2020 – 2038 Emerging Strategy for Growth Response to Dacorum Borough Council’s Regulation 18 Consultation, December 2020 – 28th February 2021 Agreed by the Council 18th February 2021 1. Do you think the overarching vision and the strategic objectives are right for the Borough? (pp3 – 26) No 1.1. The consultation process We appreciate the fact that the consultation period was extended, although this should have been agreed at the outset rather than imposing a significant workload during a national lockdown and over the Christmas holidays which self-evidently were always going to make it extremely difficult both to give the plan the attention it deserved and to undertake adequate public consultation. However we are still extremely concerned that the consultation has proceeded given that: • shortly after publication the Government changed its guidance on the level of housing growth required by the Borough, a key driver of the plan, and it now appears that the Borough is adopting a housing growth figure which is not consistent with the Government’s express intent to protect Green Belt land. • it is very difficult to understand how the majority of the proposed major developments can be described as “sustainable” given their distance from existing infrastructure. • neither the Infrastructure Development Plan not the Transport Plan are complete and under the current process it will not be possible to comment in any meaningful way on the Plan without the benefit of these significant elements.
