This booklet is designed to help you through the process of applying for a school place. Please read and keep it safe as it contains all the information you need about school admissions in West Sussex and you may wish to refer to it again. Before you complete your application, you are strongly encouraged to visit schools and attend their open sessions, to find out for yourself what they can offer your child. Although most children can be given a place at their parents’ first preference school, this is not always possible. It is therefore important that you provide three preferences for the schools you would like your child to attend and that you apply by the national deadline of Monday 31 October 2011. Applying after this deadline may significantly affect the school we can offer. I wish your son or daughter the very best for when they start at their new school.

    Adur & Worthing Playing Pitch Strategy Stage C Needs Assessment Report Adur and Worthing Playing Pitch Strategy Stage C: FINAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT for Adur and Worthing District Council December 2019 1 | P a g e Adur & Worthing Playing Pitch Strategy Stage C Needs Assessment Report CONTENTS 1 Introduction 3 2 Context 8 3 Football 24 4 Cricket 80 5 Rugby 101 6 Hockey 114 7 Tennis and Bowls 124 See also Key Findings and Issues – separate document 2 | P a g e Adur & Worthing Playing Pitch Strategy Stage C Needs Assessment Report 1 INTRODUCTION Introduction 1.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires local planning authorities to set out policies to help enable communities to access high quality open spaces and opportunities for sport and recreation. These policies need to be based on a thorough understanding of local needs for such facilities and opportunities available for new provision. 1.2 In view of the above, in 2019 Adur & Worthing Councils appointed Ethos Environmental Planning to review a joint study completed in 2014 to provide an up-to-date and robust assessment identifying needs, surpluses and deficits in open space, sport and recreation to support the Local Plans. 1.3 The two councils have separate local plans; this study will assist Worthing Borough in the preparation of a new plan and will support the implementation of the Adur Local Plan which was adopted in 2017. The study will also inform the Council’s asset management process, health and well-being plans and its investments and infrastructure funding process. 1.4 In summary the requirements of the brief are to provide: A comprehensive Open Space Assessment, Indoor/Built Sports Facilities Needs Assessment that represents an update to the existing (2014) assessment.

  • 180109 Schools Statement
    Statement by West Sussex MPs West Sussex MPs lobbied hard for the introduction of a National Funding Formula, and the extra £28 million for West Sussex schools has gone a considerable way towards making funding fairer. Our secondary schools will receive up to 12 per cent more funding when the Formula is fully implemented. We recognise that there is further to go, and that schools are facing cost pressures, and we are particularly concerned about the funding of primary schools once transitional help has passed, the sustainability of small rural primary schools and the challenges for schools in less well-off urban areas. We have been in constant discussions with our local schools and West Sussex County Council about these issues. Our schools should be funded on the same basis as those in their peer group across England, although we must be wary of crude comparisons since everyone is agreed that schools in very deprived inner city areas will always have additional needs. This issue remains a high priority for West Sussex MPs, and we will continue to stand up strongly for our local schools, including through representations to the new Education Secretary and the Chancellor. However, this is not just about funding. We are also very concerned about standards which in too many West Sussex schools have not been good enough, and we want to hear more about how improvements will be made. Notes 1. Overall impact of NFF on West Sussex The National Funding Formula delivers on full implementation (on the basis of current pupil numbers) an additional £28 million to West Sussex.
