INTRODUCTION & APOLOGIES Cllr Jerome welcomed members to the meeting. Apologies had been received from Simon Brown (Glenthorne High School), Peter Butterworth (Overton Grange School), Terry Gorley (Robin Hood Junior School), Jackie Saddington (Cheam Park Farm Junior School), Shirley Gruffydd (Holy Trinity CofE Junior School), Martin Kearsey (Devonshire Primary), Gary Kirkwood (Foresters Primary School), Dave Christmas (Brookfield Primary School) and Gemma Fitzpatrick. RESOLUTION noted Cllr Jerome welcomed Marian Primarolo to the Forum as an observer. Members were also advised that Gemma Fitzpatrick had resigned as Parent Member; she was thanked for her contribution to the Forum. 2. MINUTES & MATTERS ARISING a) Minutes of the meeting held on 8 February 2011 had been circulated. b) Paul Harding said that he did not agree with Minute 5, detailing changes with admission arrangements for schools currently consulting. In particular, he did not recall the Forum having been told of the introduction of a 6km priority circle for Wallington Girls; he was sure that other Headteachers were equally unaware since comment would have been made at the Forum meeting. Cllr Jerome said that the information had been published in the papers available to the meeting1 and she was sorry if members felt that the matter had not been addressed sufficiently thoroughly. Mr Harding responded that he felt more information should be given in the actual papers presented to the meeting. Cllr Jerome agreed that this could be done but asked that schools assist by highlighting any changes when publishing their consultation documents. These documents would have to be mounted on the Council website even if schools became responsible for their own admission criteria under academy status. Rosemary Satchell supported Mr Harding’s concerns, accepting that the detail might have been available but that there should have been more discussion. On behalf of Wallington Girls, Barbara Greatorex said that the consultation process had been conducted as usual, with the documents being placed on the Council website and individual schools notified. She also mentioned a paper produced by Sharman Lawson in December 2010, circulated to all secondary schools, which had detailed the changes, including the introduction of a 6km circle. 1 Clerk’s Note; The paper presented to the Forum identified 7 schools that were consulting, gave a reference to the full consultation papers on the Council website and stated that paper copies of the consultation documents would be available at the Forum meeting. 2 Page 5 Agenda Item 1 Admissions Forum 11 October 2011 – Item 2 Steve Hume pointed out that changes in the admissions procedure for one school affected other schools. He also referred to a prior agreement that the balance of selective and non-selective places in the Borough would remain constant, and said that Glenthorne Governors had written to Sharman Lawson expressing their concern that the additional places at Wallington Girls would upset the balance. Barbara Greatorex said that earlier changes in procedures had resulted in a drop of about 40 in the number of in-Borough children being admitted, and the addition of 30 extra places with a priority circle had been an attempt to redress this imbalance. Cllr Jerome reminded members that it was the LA’s responsibility to plan and provide enough places and thanked the 3 schools which had offered extra places. The system for offering places was very complex in Sutton with its mixture of selective/non-selective, mixed/single-sex schools. Damian Charnock pointed out that the adoption of academy status, with schools being responsible for their own admissions policies, would change the situation. The schools had committed to work together to produce a coherent plan which would then be discussed with the LA. c) The Forum discussed the mid-year admissions process, which was now co-ordinated by the LA. There had been initial problems with the IT systems; these were still causing some difficulty but the scale was much less. 3. UPDATE ON NEW SCHOOL ADMISSIONS CODE Peter Gasparelli introduced his paper, which sought to identify the key issues in the draft Admissions Code and Admission Appeals Code which the Government had issued for consultation. It was anticipated that the new Codes would be introduced in January 2012 and apply to the September 2013 intake. Changes related to mid-year admissions might be introduced in September 2012, but would require separate legislation to remove determined schemes already in place. One change introduced by the new Code was that the Admission Forum would no longer be a statutory requirement. He reminded members that this had been briefly discussed at the February meeting, and that the consensus had been to continue on a voluntary basis, with membership and terms of reference to be agreed. It was agreed that a full discussion should take place at the next meeting, by which time the final shape of the Code would be known. Cllr Jerome asked whether the Forum felt a working party should be established to review the role of the Forum, its membership and terms of reference. She said that Cheam Park Farm Junior School had raised the question of primary schools with academy status being a defined category for separate representation. Damian Charnock said that the secondary schools wished to discuss the issue amongst themselves, which would then lead to a decision on whether they wished for a working party. Primary schools would equally discuss the question via the Sutton Primary Heads Group. Cllr Jerome agreed this 3 Agenda Item 1 Page 6 Admissions Forum 11 October 2011 – Item 2 course of action and asked that any decision be communicated to Sharman Lawson and/or Peter Gasparelli. One feature of the new code that would significantly affect the selective schools is that ‘testing before preference’ is now to be a statutory requirement. However, it was not clear in the draft code whether this applied only to testing for selective schools or also to the assessment of bandings or to selection by aptitude, which may affect a number of Sutton schools. Peter Gasparelli said that the LA would be making a response to the consultation, both as an individual Authority and also as part of a pan- London response. The response was in process of being drafted. Some practical difficulties had already been identified, such as implementing the statutory duty to have information displayed on the Council website within 24 hours. Cllr Jerome suggested that schools would wish to respond either individually or as a group. Carol Jerwood said that the Diocese had concerns over infant class size legislation and the rulings on siblings and multiple births and the effect on appeals; the Diocese would be responding to DfE on this area of the proposals. Pam Cooper expressed concern about the removal of the requirement to hold admission appeals on neutral ground, since this could put undue pressure on the applicant. However, Damian Charnock said that secondary schools welcomed the easement, pointing out the loss of management time if their numerous appeals had to be held off site. It was suggested that primary schools, which typically had only one or two appeals, might group together to exchange appeal accommodation between themselves. 4. MEETING TO DISCUSS EAST OF LB SUTTON a) Sharman Lawson introduced the paper which sought to explore ways of meeting demand for secondary places in the eastern part of the Borough from 2013. The move of Stanley Park High School to a new site would have the effect of sliding its catchment area towards the new venue. This may disadvantage the Beddington and Roundshaw areas, which were, however, areas of population growth. Use of Merton schools as back-up was not sustainable in the long term, since that Borough has its own population pressures. The possible options that had been examined were: Ø Establishing priority areas, quoting the example of the Worcester Park circle for Cheam High. Ø Employing the Fair Access Protocol to force places for otherwise unplaced pupils.

  • Overton Grange School on Behalf of the Overton Grange School, in the London Borough of Sutton
    Determination Case reference: ADA3526 Objector: London Borough of Sutton Admission authority: The Governing Board for Overton Grange School on behalf of the Overton Grange School, in the London Borough of Sutton Date of decision: 4 October 2019 Determination In accordance with section 88H(4) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, I uphold the objection to the reduction in the PAN for September 2020 from 240 – 210 determined by the governing board of Overton Grange School for Overton Grange School, Sutton. I have also considered the arrangements in accordance with section 88I(5) and find there are other matters which do not conform to the requirements relating to admission arrangements in the ways set out in this determination. By virtue of section 88K(2) the adjudicator’s decision is binding on the admission authority. The School Admissions Code requires the admission authority to revise its admission arrangements within two months of the date of the determination. The school must increase its PAN to 240, and make revisions to the definition of ‘home address’ and Oversubscription criterion iii) within this timescale. The referral 1. Under section 88H(2) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, (the Act), an objection has been referred to the adjudicator by the London Borough of Sutton (the objector) about the admission arrangements (the arrangements) for Overton Grange School (the school), an academy school for pupils aged 11 – 18 for September 2020. The objection is to the arrangements for admission of pupils to Year 7 (Y7), and concerns a reduction in the published admission number (PAN) from 240 to 210.

  • The London Borough of Sutton Annual Report 2016/17 It Is a Real Pleasure to Present This Report at a Time When the Duke of Edinburgh’S Award in Sutton Is Thriving
    The London Borough of Sutton Annual Report 2016/17 It is a real pleasure to present this report at a time when The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award in Sutton is thriving. As we move into a second year of a new licensing model, I’m delighted to report that opportunities for young people are significantly increasing. As you will see from the report, more young people than ever before are taking part in a DofE programme – nearly 1,700 young people started a DofE programme in Sutton this year. The number of young people going on to achieve an Award is also rising significantly – nearly 800 young people achieved an Award in Sutton; an increase of 73% on the previous year. The breadth of activities that young people are taking up, of their own choosing, is also impressive. We have seen them starting recycling projects, caring for animals, coaching younger children, volunteering at summer school, taking up new sports such as climbing and archery and travelling to new countries for their DofE Expedition and Residential. All of these activities have arisen from increasing opportunities for young people to do their DofE and it is important that we capitalise on the current momentum and huge desire that young people have to take part. My role is to ensure that young people have the opportunities to take part in a DofE programme – not just at the Bronze level, but also at the higher Silver and Gold levels. Where we have a desire by young people to undertake their DofE programme, I wish to ensure that any barriers to their participation are removed.

  • Statement from the Partnership of Sutton Secondary Schools 20Th January 2014
    Statement from the Partnership of Sutton Secondary Schools 20th January 2014 Secondary place planning and the need for a new secondary school in Sutton The Partnership of Sutton Secondary Schools notes that a phased increase in school places is required to meet local needs and that Sutton has been allocated £35m for school expansion between 2015 and 2017. The Partnership recognises that to help to meet the demand for school places in Sutton, a new secondary school will be required to open in September 2017, in addition to expansion at existing schools for 2015 and 2016. The Partnership notes that a new school would have to be a sponsored academy or free school, and that currently the only approved sponsor in the Partnership is Greenshaw. The Partnership would want any new school to be developed within the Partnership and believes that urgent action is required to ensure the school is open on time. All schools in the Partnership support Greenshaw High School Educational Trust as the sponsor of the new secondary school in Sutton, working within and with the support of the Partnership and with the Local Authority.
