  • East Secondary 2019-20 Proof 2
    Definitions For Voluntary Aided, Foundation, Free Schools and Academies for Admission Purposes The following terms used throughout this booklet are defined as below, 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. Explanations of these terms can be found in the main booklet. 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 accompanying admissions booklet. Looked After and Previously 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 children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order). A ' looked after child' ( 1 ) or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption ( 2 ) child arrangements order (residency order) ( 3 ) or special guardianship order ( 4) . (1) A 'looked after child' is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989) at the time of making an application to a school (2) This includes children who were adopted under the Adoption Act 1976 (see section 12 adoption orders) and children who were adopted under the Adoption and Childrens Act 2002 (see section 46 adoption orders).
