North · Lancaster and Morecambe · Wyre · Fylde Primary School Admissions in North Lancashire 2018/19 This information should be read along with the main booklet “Primary School Admissions in Lancashire - Information for Parents 2018-19” APPLY ONLINE www.lancashire.gov.uk/schools The closing date for applications is Monday 15 January 2018 comms: 5145 www.lancashire.gov.uk/schools This supplement provides details of Community, Voluntary Controlled, Voluntary Aided, Foundation and Academy Primary Schools in the Lancaster, Wyre and Fylde areas. The policy for admission to Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools is listed below. For Voluntary Aided, Foundation Schools and Academies a summary of the admission policy is provided in this booklet under the entry for each school. Some schools may operate different admission arrangements and you are advised to contact individual schools direct for clarification and to obtain full details of their admission policies. These criteria will only be applied if the number of applicants exceeds the published admission number. A full version of the admission policy is available from the school and you should ensure you read the full policy before expressing a preference for the school. Similarly, you are advised to contact Primary Schools direct if you require details of their admissions policies. Admission numbers in The Fylde and North Lancaster districts may be subject to variation. Where the school has a nursery class, the number of nursery pupils is in addition to the number on roll. POLICIES ARE ACCURATE AT THE TIME OF PRINTING AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE Admission Criteria for Community & Voluntary Controlled Schools When a school is oversubscribed on parental preferences, then the following priorities apply in order: 1. Looked after children and those who have been previously looked after, then 2. Children for whom the Local Authority accepts that there are exceptional medical social or welfare reasons which are directly relevant to the school concerned, then 3. Children with older brothers and sisters attending the school when the younger child will start, then 4. Remaining places are allocated according to where a child lives. Those living nearest to the preferred school by a straight line (radial) measure will have priority. The distance criterion which will be used as the tie breaker if there is oversubscription within any of the admission criteria is a straight line (radial) measure. If the Local Authority is unable to distinguish between applicants using the published criteria (e.g. twins or same block of flats) places will be offered via a random draw. The distance measure is a straight line (radial) measure centre of building to centre of building. Definitions for Voluntary Aided and Foundation Schools and Academies for Admission Purposes The following terms used throughout this booklet are defined as follows, except where individual arrangements spell out a different definition. DISTANCE - The 'straight line' method of measurement only applies for admission purposes. For transport 'walking routes' are used to determine distance. PARENTS / FAMILY MEMBERS - A parent is any person who has parental responsibility or care of the child. Where admission arrangements refer to 'parent's attendance at church' it is sufficient for just one parent to attend. 'Family members' include only parents and siblings. MEDICAL/SOCIAL/WELFARE - Where schools have a medical/social/welfare admission criterion then this should take into account the circumstances of the child and the family. Please note the Local Authority information in the main admissions booklet. LOOKED AFTER CHILDREN - The School Admissions Code (December 2014) states that within the oversubscription criteria, the highest priority must be given to looked after children and previously looked after children. Previously looked after children are children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangement, special guardianship or accommodation order). Further references to previously looked after children in the Code means such children who were adopted (or subject to child arrangement orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been looked after. Admission Authorities for faith schools may give priority to all looked after children and previously looked after children whether or not of the faith, but they must give priority to looked after children and previously looked after children of the faith before other children of the faith. Where any element of priority is given in relation to children not of the faith they must give priority to looked after children and previously looked after children not of the faith above other children not of the faith.
