Introduction
Dear Parents and Carers,
Starting a new school is a special and exciting time for you and your child. You will of course have many questions and this booklet gives you information about Birmingham primary schools and helps you apply for a place for your child. If your child is starting school in September 2016, we would ask you to apply online at the following website www.birmingham.gov.uk/schooladmissions –Applying online means that you can find out which school your child has been offered by email on the offer day, rather than waiting for your offer letter to be posted to you. The option of using a paper form is still available if you prefer this method.
Birmingham City Council operates a ’co-ordinated scheme‘ for primary school admissions which means that families in Birmingham can apply for schools both inside and outside the Birmingham area. If you don’t live in Birmingham but want to apply for a Birmingham primary school, you should do this via the application process of your own local authority. Contact details for neighbouring local authorities can be found in Appendix 3.
We are very proud of all of our schools in Birmingham. Whichever school your child attends they will be made very welcome. Achievements in our primary schools continue to improve across the city. All staff in schools and in wider children’s services is committed to ensuring that every child is able to be the best they can be.
Schools also have their own prospectuses and websites. I recommend you take the opportunity to read these and also to visit our schools where you will find a lot more information to help you decide which school you would like your child to attend. Last year, over 94% of Birmingham children starting in reception class were offered a place at one of their preferred schools and it is our mission to ensure that your child thrives wherever they go.
If you have any questions about your child starting at school, or how to obtain places in other year groups, please contact the Children’s Information and Advice Service on 0121 303 1888 option 4 where staff will be pleased to assist you.
I wish your child a happy and successful education at primary school.

Out of school clubs (before and after school clubs) There are increasing numbers of out of school clubs (also known as before and after school clubs) in Birmingham. These clubs offer supervised play and care for school age children for two or three hours after school and sometimes before school starts as well.
Most clubs have to be registered by the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) (except those operating on school or crown property). Clubs are normally held in schools, church halls, community centres and nurseries. Some clubs also operate during school holidays. Some clubs also offer facilities and support for homework.
If you require such a facility, please speak to the schools that you are interested in to find out if they have an out of school club or other initiatives in place. Further information is also available from the Children’s Information and Advice Service on 0121 303 1888.

Children of staff in the school – Where there is no demonstrable skill shortage, priority may be given where the academy is oversubscribed to a child of a person who will have been employed in the academy for two or more years at the time the application for admission is made. Priority will be limited to one place for each form of entry in any year. e. Distance measurement – A child’s home will be the address at which the child normally resides and which has been notified to the academy and other relevant agencies as being the child’s normal place of residence. i. In those cases where the relevant LA measures distance on behalf of Ark Schools, the method they adopt for measurement and also selection between equal applicants and those living in flats will apply. ii. In those cases where Ark Schools is required to carry out the measurement itself, priority will be given to those children who live closest to the school using a straight-line measurement taken from Ordnance Survey Data from the academy building’s main reception to the main entrance of the child’s home
Where a child resides in a block of flats, the distance will be measured from the academy building’s main reception to the main entrance of the building in which the flats are located.

How to apply for Reception Class in September 2016 An application must be made online at www.birmingham.gov.uk/schooladmissions or by using the local authority preference form. You will also be required to complete an additional information form for this school, which is available from the school or the local authority.
How to make an in-year application Applications made outside the normal admission round (in-year admissions) must be made directly to the school(s) concerned. The local authority will provide an in-year application form for parents to complete. You will also be required to complete an additional information form as above.
Admission criteria 1. Looked after or previously looked after children. 2. Children living in the catchment area who, at the time of admission, have a sibling in either the Infant or the Junior School (Parents should note that Bournville Infant School has adopted the Local Authority’s ‘Sibling’ definition). The catchment area can be viewed at the School Office. 3. Other children living in the catchment area. 4. Children living outside the catchment area who, at the time of admission, have a sibling in either the Infant or the Junior School. 5. Other children living outside the catchment area.
In each of the above categories, places will be allocated according to the distance between home and school, beginning with children living closest to Bournville Infant School and whose circumstances remain unchanged on the day of admission. The school reserves the right to withdraw the offer of a place if a change in circumstances between allocation and admission would have resulted in a child not being offered a place at the time of allocation. Distances are calculated on the basis of a straight-line measurement between the applicant’s home address and the centre of the main school building. The Local Authority uses a computerised system, which measures all distances in metres. Ordnance Survey supply the co-ordinates that are used to plot an applicant’s home address within this system. Proof of address will be required by the school.
Where parents have shared responsibility for a child, and the child lives with both parents for part of the week, then the main residence will be determined as the address where the child lives the majority of the week. Parents may be requested to supply documentary evidence to support the address used.
In a very small number of cases it may not be possible to decide between the applications of those pupils who are the final qualifiers for a place, when applying the published admission criteria. For example, this may occur when children in the same year group live at the same address, or if the distance between the home and school is exactly the same, for example, blocks of flats. If there is no other way of separating the application according to the admissions criteria and to admit both or all of the children would cause the legal limit to be exceeded, the Local Authority will use a computerised system to randomly select the child to be offered the final place.
Parents should note that admission to Bournville Junior School will not result in automatic admission to Bournville Infant School for younger siblings. The admission of younger siblings will be dependent on a place being available to which they are entitled under the admission criteria.
Parents with a child attending Bournville Infant School in Year 2 who would like their child to transfer to Bournville Junior School in Year 3 will be required to complete a Local Authority Preference Form for a place at the school.

Linden Road, Birmingham B30 1JY Tel: 0121 472 1259 www.bournvillejunior.org.uk Type: Voluntary Aided Age Range: 7 – 11 Published Admission Number: 96 Approx. Number on Roll: 380 DfE No: 330 3353 Ward: Bournville
Year 2 to Year 3 transfer Parents with a child attending Bournville Infant School in Year 2 who would like their child to transfer to Bournville Junior School in Year 3 will be required to complete a Local Authority Preference Form for a place at the school. See Section 3 for more information on the Year 2 to Year 3 transfer process.
Where there are more applications than places available the following over-subscription criteria will apply.
1. Looked after or previously looked after children. 2. Children on register at Bournville Infant School at the end of Year 2 3. Children living in the catchment area who, at the time of admission, have a sibling in either the Junior or the Infant School. (Parents should note that Bournville Junior School has adopted the Local Authority’s ‘sibling’ definition.) 4. Other children living in the catchment area. 5. Children living outside the catchment area who, at the time of admission, have a sibling in either the Junior or the Infant School. 6. Other children living outside the catchment area.
How to make an in-year application Applications made outside the normal admission round (in-year admissions) must be made directly to the school(s) concerned. The local authority will provide an in-year application form for parents to complete.
Admission criteria 1. Looked after or previously looked after children. 2. Children living in the catchment area who, at the time of admission, have a sibling in either the Junior or the Infant School. (Parents should note that Bournville Junior School has adopted the Local Authority’s ‘sibling’ definition.). The catchment area can be viewed at the school office. 3. Other children living in the catchment area. 4. Children living outside the catchment area who, at the time of admission, have a sibling in either the Junior or the Infant School. 5. Other children living outside the catchment area.
In each of the above categories, places will be allocated according to the distance between home and school, beginning with children living closest to Bournville Junior School on the day of admission. Distances are calculated on the basis of a straight-line measurement between the applicant’s home address and the centre of the main school building. The Local Authority uses a computerised system, which measures all distances in metres. Ordnance Survey supply the co-ordinates that are used to plot an applicant’s home address within this system. Proof of address will be required by the school.
Where parents have shared responsibility for a child, and the child lives with both parents for part of the week, then the main residence will be determined as the address where the child lives the majority of the week. Parents may be requested to supply documentary evidence to support the address used.
In a very small number of cases it may not be possible to decide between the applications of those pupils who are the final qualifiers for a place, when applying the published admission criteria. For example, this may occur when children in the same year group live at the same address, or where there are twins, or if the distance between the home and school is exactly the same, for example, blocks of flats. If there is no other way of separating the application according to the admissions criteria and to admit both or all of the children would cause the legal limit to be exceeded, the Local Authority
Page 63 To apply online – visit www.birmingham.gov.uk/schooladmissions
will use a computerised system to randomly select the child to be offered the final place.
Parents should note that admission to Bournville Infant School will not result in automatic admission to Bournville Junior School for older siblings. The admission of older siblings will be dependent on a place being available to which they are entitled under the admission criteria.
Please see catchment area on page 62.

Admission criteria a. First priority for admission shall be given to relevant looked after children or children who were previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements order or special guardianship order. See notes below. b. Second priority for admission shall be given to children with a “serious and ongoing medical condition” where the school is the most appropriate school to meet the condition.
(Parents must provide supportive information from their child’s Hospital Consultant at the time of application in order to be considered under this criteria. This supportive information should include information about the needs of the child and should detail the difficulties the child would experience if they attended another school. Parents should also indicate why the preferred school is the most appropriate to meet their child’s medical condition rather than any other school. The Local Authority will not seek to obtain medical evidence on behalf of parents.) c. Third priority for admission shall be given to children who have a brother/sister, half brother/sister (where the children share one common parent), or step-brother / step-sister, living at the same address and who will still be attending the preferred school in the academic year 2016/2017. d. Any places that remain available once the above applicants have been admitted will be filled according to those children who live closest to the school, determined by a straight-line measurement in metres, from the home address to the main entrance of the school.
Notes •Relevant looked after children means children who are looked after by a local authority in accordance with section 22 (1) of the Children Act 1989 and who is (a) in care of a Local Authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a Local Authority in the exercise of their social services functions. •An adoption order is an order under section 46 of the Adoptions and Children Act 2002, or the Adoption Act 1976. A Child Arrangements Order is defined in section 8 of the Children Act 1989, amended by Section 12 of the Children and Families Act 2014. Section 14A of the Children Act 1989 defines a special guardianship order as an order appointing one or more individuals to be a child’s special guardian (or special guardians). •In accordance with legislation, a child with an Education Health and Care Plan will be offered a place at the school named in the Plan as the most appropriate to meet the child’s individual needs, this may reduce the amount of places available for children who do not have an Education, Health and Care Plan. •Any child not obtaining a school at any of their preferred primary schools will be allocated a place at the next nearest school, in consultation with the Local Authority, with a place available and advised about the independent appeals process. •Definition of brother or sister also relates to adopted or fostered children living at the same home address. •The home address is considered to be the child’s (along with their parents’) genuine principal place of residence at the time of the allocation of places i.e. where they are normally and regularly living. If a child is resident with friends or relatives (for reasons other than guardianship), the friends or relatives address will not be considered for allocation purposes. •Where parents have shared responsibility for a child, and the child lives with both parents for part of the school week, then the home address will be determined as the address where the child lives for the majority of the school week. Parents will be required to provide documentary evidence to support the address they wish to be considered for allocation purposes. At least one item of proof must demonstrate where the child lives. •Special conditions will apply in the event that one child from a set of twins or triplets does not gain admission to the preferred school through the admissions criteria. The Governing Body will exceed the admission number to prevent separation of twins / triplets. •Random allocation will be used as a tie-break in category d above to decide who has the highest priority for admission if the distance between two children’s homes and the school is the same.

Admission criteria 1. Looked after, or previously looked after children. 2.

Page 124 To apply online – visit www.birmingham.gov.uk/schooladmissions
i. Have one or both natural parents in common; or ii. Are related by a parents’ marriage; or iii. Are adopted or fostered by a common parent
Unrelated children living at the same address, whose parents/guardians are living as partners, are also considered to be siblings. Where parents/guardians have shared responsibility for a child, and the child lives with both parents/guardians for part of the week, then the main residence will be determined as the address where the child lives the majority of the week. Parents/guardians may be requested to supply documentary evidence to support the address used.
3. Distance – proximity of the child’s home to the entrance to the school gates, calculated on the basis of a straight line measurement with those living nearer being accorded higher priority.
In the event of being unable to determine between applications of those pupils who meet the above criteria; who are the final qualifiers for a place; e.g. distance being equal. If there is no other way of separating the application accordingly to the admissions criteria and to admit both or all of the children would cause the legal limit to be exceeded, the Local Authority will use a computerised system to randomly select the child to be offered the final place.

In a very small number of cases it may not be able to decide between the applicants of those pupils who are qualifiers for a place, when applying the published admission criteria. For example, this may occur when children in the same year group live at the same address, or if the distance between the home and school is exactly the same, for example, blocks of flats. If there is no other way of separating the application according to the admissions criteria and to admit both or all of the children would cause the legal limit to be exceeded, the local authority will use a computerised system to randomly select the child to be offered the final place.

Time out in term time can seriously damage your child’s educational progress. Such leave will only be authorised by Head Teachers in exceptional circumstances. Unauthorised absences will lead to a referral for action by the Local Authority.
Holidays during term time Time out in term time can seriously damage your child’s educational progress. Such leave will only be authorised by head teachers in exceptional circumstances. Unauthorised absences will lead to a referral for action by the Authority.
Parents, penalty notices and court As a parent you are legally responsible to ensure your child receives a suitable full time education and for most children this is by attending school regularly. A child should only ever be absent when s/he is so authorised by the head teacher. Failure to ensure your child’s attendance can leave you liable to the authority issuing a penalty notice or taking court action against you. This would never be done without the Education Welfare Service first seeking to work with you to ensure your child’s attendance.
If you are worried about your child’s attendance speak to your child’s school and mention this article to them. There are a number of services and teams of specialists who work in partnership with schools to help with problems of attendance, learning, behaviour, and emotional or general development.
Long-term illness If your child is suffering with long-term illness they can still be supported by the school and, if needed, teachers from the James Brindley Hospital School. Speak to your school if illness is preventing attendance.
School uniforms Governing bodies are responsible for deciding whether or not pupils should wear a school uniform. Parents should contact individual schools for details of the uniform policy and any sports kits. Generally school uniforms should be available in high
Page 246 To apply online – visit www.birmingham.gov.uk/schooladmissions
street shops and other retail outlets rather than from one supplier. Schools should offer arrangements so that no family feels unable to apply for admission on account of high uniform costs and details should be available from individual schools.
Religion/belief The law requires all schools without a religious character to provide religious education that fulfils the requirements of a locally agreed syllabus. For Birmingham schools this is the Birmingham Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education. Voluntary aided schools with a religious character normally follow a diocesan syllabus or one agreed by the governing body.
Religious education (RE) is intended for all pupils. However, parents have the right to withdraw their child from all parts of RE. This will need careful thought and discussion and parents are encouraged to discuss with head teachers the religious education provision in the school.
All schools are also required to have collective worship for all pupils every day. This will follow a pattern agreed by the governors of the school. Collective worship is intended for all pupils. However parents also have the right to withdraw their child from collective worship.
Contributions to school funds and school trips There is no charge or cost related to the admission of a child to a school. Many schools operate a school fund to which they ask parents to contribute small sums. Such donations are entirely voluntary. The money collected in this way is used to pay for activities or to buy equipment that is not provided from the school budget.
School trips are an important part of school life and can contribute to the ethos of the school. Schools may ask parents for a voluntary contribution towards the cost of a school trip but may not charge for a trip, which takes place in school hours or is part of the national curriculum. Many schools offer help to those who are unable to afford the cost of school trips. Details are available from individual schools.
Military families Birmingham City Council understands that families of UK service personnel often have to move at short notice within the UK and from abroad. If we receive an application along with an official letter from the MoD, FCO or GCHQ stating a relocation date, then we will be able to arrange a school place in advance of the relocation. Please contact the Children’s Information and Advice Service on 0121 303 1888 (option 4) for further advice.
Admission to nursery schools/classes attached to primary schools Birmingham City Council provides free nursery education for pre-school children through places at primary schools or via separate nursery schools across the city. Children can attend state nurseries in the September following their third birthday. This is normally on a part-time basis, although there are a small number of nurseries that have full time places.
If you are interested in a pre-school place for your child, contact the school/class/nursery/children’s centre you are interested in to get more information. You are advised to put your child’s name on the waiting list of the nursery you prefer before your child’s third birthday. Although this will not in itself give you any priority it will help the nursery plan their future needs.
Sometimes it might not be possible for your child to go to the school/class/nursery/children’s centre you would prefer because it may be full. Priority is given in council maintained settings to children with particular educational or social needs, for example: communication problems, emotional difficulties, physical or mental difficulty. Priority is also given to children with an older brother or sister already at the school (or at a linked school on the same or a nearby site) and who will still be in attendance at the time the younger child enters the school. The distance from home to the school will also be used to decide whether or not a place is allocated. Private and voluntary nurseries operate their own admission policies.
All providers of early education manage admissions themselves on an individual basis and not through a centralised system. Please contact your preferred provider for further information on their admissions policy and vacancies. More information on private and voluntary settings in your area can be obtained from the Family Information Service on 0121 303 1888 or visit www.birmingham.gov.uk/fis
