All schools in Suffolk are day schools for both boys and girls of all abilities. The age range of pupils at schools varies, depending on which part of Suffolk they are in. Further information can be found in the booklet ‘Admissions to Schools in Suffolk 2014/2015’ . This is available by contacting the Admissions Team or online at: www.suffolk.gov.uk/admissionstoschools . We deal with applications for all types of schools, acting on behalf of the governors in the case of voluntary aided, foundation/trust, academy and free schools.

4 Directory of Schools in Suffolk for High Schools for the 2014/2015 school year Section 2 Section 2 How we offer school places
It is important that all schools are able to provide education for their pupils in suitable accommodation, which is not overcrowded. This means that schools can only offer a set number of places in any one year. This number is called the published admission number (PAN), which is based on a national formula for deciding how many children can go to a school, without causing overcrowding. Although the PAN applies to the year of entry we would normally apply this number across all year groups in the school. However, there may be occasions for other year groups where it is not possible to admit up to this number. If the number of applicants is less than the PAN all applicants will be admitted. For any of your preferred schools, there may be more applications for that school than there are places available. Suffolk County Council makes decisions about admissions for community and voluntary controlled schools. If the number of applications for a school is greater than its PAN, we use our oversubscription criteria to decide who gets a place. In the case of voluntary aided schools, foundation/trust schools, academies and free schools governing bodies determine the order in which applications should be ranked according to their oversubscription criteria. The offer of places is made on their behalf by Suffolk County Council. For in-year applications the governing body will also advise us whether a place can be offered in the relevant year group. We will use this information to make the offer of a place to parents/carers. However, East Bergholt High School and Ormiston Sudbury Academy will write to you directly. Where a voluntary aided school, foundation/trust school, academy or free school has their own admissions oversubscription criteria this is displayed underneath the school details in this directory. The wording in this booklet may be a summary of the full admissions policy and therefore you must refer to the school’s own full admissions policy, which sets out how places will be prioritised. You can get a copy of the full policy from the school or online at: www.suffolk.gov.uk/admissionstoschools . There is a separate directory for the oversubscription criteria for primary, infant, junior and middle schools. If you are applying for a place at a voluntary aided school, foundation/trust school, academy or free school you may also need to complete a supplementary information form (SIF) and send it directly to the school. How the allocation process works Step 1 If we can meet your first preference, we will offer you a place at that school.
Step 2 If we cannot meet your first preference but can meet your second preference, we will offer you a place at that school. For the normal year of entry only, we will also place your name on the waiting list for your first preference school.
Step 3 If we cannot meet your second preference but can meet your third preference, we will offer you a place at that school. For the normal year of entry only, we will also place your name on the waiting list for your first and second preference schools. Step 4 If we cannot meet any of your preferences, we will offer you a place at your catchment area school (if you have not included it in your preferences and if there is still a place available there) or at the next nearest school which has a place available. This will take into consideration the availability and cost of home to school transport. The next nearest school is measured by walking distance. Walking distance is from the front door of the home to the nearest school gate. Where there is more than one home within a single building (for example apartments) we will measure from the main entrance of the building. For the normal year of entry only, we will also place your name on the waiting list for your first, second and third preference schools.
Directory of Schools in Suffolk for High Schools for the 2014/2015 school year 5 Section 2
Admissions oversubscription criteria
If there are more applications than places available the following oversubscription criteria shows the order of priority for places at community and voluntary controlled schools (and at those foundation/trust schools, academies and free schools where it has been agreed that Suffolk County Council will manage their admissions arrangements). For applications to the normal year of entry at a school, these criteria will be applied according to the circumstances existing on or before the closing date.
We will offer you a school place on the following basis: Children who have a statement of special educational needs which names the school must by law be offered a place at that school.
1 Looked after children (children in care) 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).
2 Children who are brothers and sisters of, or who live as a family at the same address as, pupils who are already at the school or who have already been offered a place, and who will still be there at the time of admission (but not in the sixth form). Priority will be given, where necessary, to applications where there is the smallest age gap. If you have more than one child at the school, please name the youngest one.
3 Children who are ordinarily resident in the catchment area. Places will be allocated in the following priority order: a. If the school is voluntary controlled, children whose parents/carers are applying on the grounds that the child and/or the family are practising members of the Church of England. (You must provide a letter at the time of application from a priest or minister. This letter must specifically state that you and/or your child is a practising member of the Church of England and that you and/or your child go to church regularly, that is to say at least once a month). b. Children who live nearest to the school. We will measure the distance by a straight line (‘as the crow flies’). All straight line distances are calculated electronically by Suffolk County Council using data provided jointly by the Post Office and Ordnance Survey. The data plots the co-ordinates of each property and provides the address-point between which the straight line distance is measured and reported to three decimal places. Where there is more than one home within a single building (for example apartments) we will measure to a single point within that building irrespective of where those homes are located.
4 Children who live outside the school’s catchment area in the same priority order as set out in (a) and (b) above.
We will treat all your preferences (up to three) as equal. We will look to see if a place is available at each of your preferences and offer you a place at your highest preference school with a place available.

Notes:
Distance tie breaker It is possible that the PAN of the school will be reached in any one of the categories. For this reason, all applications will be prioritised according to the rules described. Decisions will be made about the offer of places in accordance with those priorities. If it is necessary to use a tie-breaker to distinguish between two or more applications, a distance criterion will be used. We will give priority to the applicants who live nearest to the school as measured by a straight line. In the unlikely event that two applicants competing for a single place at a school live the same distance from the school, the place will be offered to one applicant on the basis of lots drawn by an officer of Suffolk County Council not involved with admissions.
Twins, triplets and other multiple births If the final place available at a school is offered to a twin, triplet or other multiple birth and the remaining sibling/s would ordinarily be refused, we will offer places to the remaining sibling/s at the same school.
Waiting lists If you apply for a school place in the normal admissions round and one or more of your preferences are refused, your child’s name will automatically be placed on a waiting list for these schools (as described in step 2 to step 4 on page 5). Names are placed on the waiting list in the priority order with reference to the school’s admissions oversubscription criteria. The order of children does not remain static – as circumstances change, a child’s place on the waiting list can go up or down, for example, due to withdrawals or additional applications. If you change your address while your child is on a waiting list you must let us know. Please be aware that this may change your child’s position on the waiting list, particularly if you move into or out of the school’s catchment area. Written evidence of this will be required. Having your child’s name on a waiting list will not affect your right to appeal for any of the schools you have been refused a place at. See the booklet ‘Admissions to Schools in Suffolk 2014/2015’ for how to appeal. Late applicants will be added to any waiting lists in oversubscription priority order if their parental preferences cannot be met. If a place becomes available, we will offer it to children on the waiting list for that school in priority order. We do not offer places on the basis of the date on which names were placed on the list. The waiting lists will cease to operate at the end of the first full week of the spring term (Friday 9 January 2015). Suffolk County Council does not hold waiting lists for in-year applicants. Some voluntary-aided schools, academies and free schools may hold waiting lists throughout the year for all year groups. This information is available from the schools directly. Further information on applying for a school place can be found in the booklet ‘Admissions to Schools in Suffolk 2014/2015’ .
Making another application for a place at the same school
A parent/carer can apply for a place for their child at any time to any school outside of the normal admissions round. However, if your application for a school place is refused, we will not determine a further application for a place in the same school in the same academic year, unless there has been a significant change in the circumstances of the parent/carer, child or school. Such circumstances might be a house move or a place becoming available at the school. If there is no significant change in circumstances, you can make another application for the following academic year but this will not normally be considered more than one term ahead of the date when you want your child to start at the school.
Directory of Schools in Suffolk for High Schools for the 2014/2015 school year 7 Section 3 Section 3 School details
Suffolk County Council makes decisions for community and voluntary controlled schools. The governing bodies of voluntary aided schools, foundation/trust schools, academies and free schools determine the order in which applications should be ranked according to their oversubscription criteria. These are known as own admission authority schools. More information is available in the booklet ‘Admissions to Schools in Suffolk 2014/2015’ . The following pages provide alphabetical lists of Suffolk upper and high schools, sixth form colleges, special schools and pupil referral units. We have provided some key information about each school to help you when you are applying for a place, including: • the school’s address • the school’s website (if they have one) • the age range and type of school • headteacher and phone number • specialism (if applicable) • the published admission number (PAN) for 2014/2015. This is the number of pupils who will be allowed to join the school in the year group. * indicates that as the PAN for 2014/2015 is lower than the PAN for 2013/2014 you should be aware that places will be more limited and the pattern of admissions may change. • the sixth form PAN for 2014/2015. This is the number of students who can be admitted from outside the school to Year 12 (that is to say, not including those students who transfer from Year 11 itself). • the school’s oversubscription criteria, if it is different to Suffolk County Council’s oversubscription criteria which is on page 6 of this directory. The wording in this booklet may be a summary of the full admissions policy and therefore you must refer to the school’s own full admissions policy which sets out how places will be prioritised. You can get a copy of the full policy from the school or online at: www.suffolk.gov.uk/admissionstoschools . We have also included information relating to the on time applications we received for the normal year of entry to the school in September 2013 (2013/2014 school year). This is to help you judge whether or not your application for a school place in the entry year might be successful, when you are filling in the application form. It includes: • the published admission number (PAN) for 2013/2014 • the number of pupils on roll at the school in May 2013 • the number of applications received by the closing date. This is the number of applications for which no higher preference school was offered. It may include second and third preferences as well as first preferences. The figure is intended to give you an idea of the demand for places at the school. Please note that if you only apply for schools that have previously had more applications than places, there is a possibility that you will not be offered a place at any of them. • the number of places that were actually allocated at the school to on time applicants • the number of on time applications that were refused • the criterion under which the last child was admitted to oversubscribed schools. Where schools were not oversubscribed all applicants were admitted. Where schools were oversubscribed, the oversubscriptions criteria was applied and the cut-off point is indicated. Notes: If a website address is not included with a school’s information you may be able to access their details at: www.school-portal.co.uk . We have not included information on independent schools. The information is correct as at August 2013.

A “looked after child” or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, residence, or special guardianship order. A “looked after child” is a child who is; (a) in the care of a LA, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (“looked after children” as defined in section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989). 2.

Other children by distance from Beccles Free School, with priority for admission given to children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies. Distances are measured between the two full UK postcodes of the student’s home and the school postcode using a website that calculates the distance up to three decimal places between the two points. 4. Random allocation will be used as a tie-break in category ‘3’ above to decide who has highest priority for admission if the distance between two children’s homes and the school is the same.

Note 4 - Private fostering If you are caring for someone else's child for more than 28 days, you do not have parental responsibility for them and you are not a relative such as a grandparent, brother, sister, uncle or aunt (whether full blood, half blood or by marriage or civil partnership) or step-parent, you may be private fostering. It is a legal requirement that you contact Suffolk County Council on: 0808 800 4005 or email: [email protected].!
Note 5 – Transport If your child is given a place at an out-catchment school of your preference, you will have to get your child to and from school and pay for any transport needed. We would only provide transport to an out-catchment preferred school if it is the next nearest school to your home with places available, taking into consideration the availability and cost of home to school transport, and your child is either (a) under eight years of age and you live two miles or more from that school or (b) is eight or over and you live at least three miles from that school.
Please note if you receive free home to school transport, your child is under eight years of age and you live more than 2 miles but less than 3 miles from the school allocated, transport will end at the end of the academic year following their eighth birthday.
Note 6 – Siblings It is important that you provide this information because it can affect your child’s priority or offer of a school place. You should check the definition of a sibling for the school you are applying for in the Directory of Schools in Suffolk. For any community and voluntary controlled schools please name the youngest sibling who is at or about to start at each preferred school. This does not include siblings in the sixth form. You should also include the sibling if you are applying for an associated infant/junior school.
Note 7 – Voluntary controlled schools If your application for a place at a voluntary controlled school is based on religious grounds, you must attach a letter from a priest or minister specifically stating that you and/or your child is a practising member of the Church of England and go to church at least once a month. You will also need to tick the box on the application form to confirm this has been included.
Note 8 – Voluntary aided, academies and free schools If you are applying for a place at a Church of England or Catholic voluntary aided school, you must also get a supplementary information form (SIF) from either the school, the Admissions Team or online at www.suffolk.gov.uk/admissionstoschools. This needs to be filled in and taken or sent to the voluntary aided school direct. You may also need to complete a SIF for an academy or free school (please check these school’s individual policies to confirm if this is a requirement).
Other information School Preference Advice Service School Preference Advisers are available during term time to help you find out about schools in Suffolk, how to make an application or how to appeal for a school place. Their aim is to help you make informed and realistic decisions about which schools to apply for to best meet your child’s needs.

! Section 5 Section 5 Comments, compliments and complaints
Have your say
Our aim is to make sure that your child gets the best education possible. If you have any comments, complaints or compliments about any area of your child’s education, it is best to discuss it with the person concerned as soon as possible. If you prefer, you can write to them. If there is a problem about something that is wrong at school, you should speak or write to the member of staff or the headteacher about it. Most problems can be sorted out without taking any further action. However, if you are not happy with the outcome, ask the school for details of their policy on how to make a complaint. In most cases, the headteacher and governors are responsible for putting matters right. If your complaint relates to a service you have received from Suffolk County Council, other than an issue arising in a maintained school, you should first try to sort it out with the member of staff or team concerned. If you do not want to do this, you can contact Customer Rights on: 01473 260711 or email: [email protected]. If you are happy with our service and the system or have views about this booklet Customer Rights would also be very pleased to hear from you.
We have been careful to make sure that the information in this publication is accurate at the time of printing. We cannot rule out, however, the need for changes between now and the start of the 2014/2015 school year. Any changes will be up-dated at: www.suffolk.gov.uk/admissionstoschools.
