Mr Qamar Khan attended briefly but left when it was explained that members of the public were not normally invited to address the Forum. 1 Agenda Item 2 Page 4 Admissions Forum – 8 February 2011 Item 2 1. INTRODUCTION & APOLOGIES Cllr Jerome welcomed members to the meeting. Apologies had been received from Cllr Moira Butt, Jane Pascoe (Stanley Park High School), Gemma Fitzpatrick, Martin Kearsey (Devonshire Primary), Ian Birnbaum and Philip Howard (The John Fisher School). RESOLUTION noted Clerk’s Note: Subsequent to the meeting an email apology was received from Gary Kirkwood, Foresters Primary School. Cllr Jerome and Dr Satchell proposed a vote of appreciation and thanks to Claire Potier, who had worked in Sutton for the past 16 years. Members enthusiastically agreed. Cllr Jerome pointed out that that day was Dr Birnbaum’s last day as Strategic Director (although he would be staying in Sutton as Interim Chief Executive) and the Forum expressed their thanks to him for his 20 years of service to education in Sutton. 2. MINUTES & MATTERS ARISING Minutes of the meeting held on 11 June 2010 had been circulated. There were no comments, and the minutes were agreed. There were no matters arising not covered elsewhere on the agenda. 3. PARENT & LOCAL COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES Sharman Lawson introduced Enclosure 1, which described the steps taken to recruit parent and local community representatives to membership of the Forum. Dr Satchell was concerned that the names of the applicants had been suppressed, since this was unlike any other situation where she was asked to choose between applicants. It was important that any information known to any member of the Forum about an applicant should be shared. Sharman Lawson replied that the object of the recruitment exercise was to obtain a balance of parents from a cross- section of schools, and that this school information had not been removed from the applications. Members then considered why, with 18 expressions of interest, there had been only 5 definite applications. It was suggested that this might be due to the timing of the meetings. During discussion, there emerged a consensus that members were willing to accept changes in the timing of the Forum meetings, provided that they were not always evening or twilight sessions. Cllr Jerome suggested that the matter be deferred pending a reconsideration of the timing of Forum meetings and enquiry of those who did not apply as to whether the timing of meetings had been a factor in their not following up their initial interest. 4. ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS 2011 – Update on Schools Adjudicator reports 2 Page 5 Agenda Item 2 Admissions Forum – 8 February 2011 Item 2 Sharman Lawson reported that three objections had been made to the Office of the Schools Adjudicator since the last meeting of the Forum. The objection by the local authority to the admission arrangements of Cheam Park Farm Junior School had been upheld, and the adjudicator had ruled that the school’s admission number should increase to 105 for the next three years. A parental objection to the arrangements of the John Fisher School had not been upheld. The determination in respect of a parental objection to the admission arrangements for the boys’ selective schools had not yet been received; it was expected in the following week. The objection relating to the John Fisher School had been in respect of nominated feeder primary schools. A similar objection to arrangements at Richard Challoner School in Kingston had been partially upheld. Simon Parr said that the diocese was actively reviewing these arrangements involving feeder primary schools. Cllr Jerome said that she felt the Cheam Park Farm Junior School situation had been very difficult. She was pleased that a definite decision had now been reached and thanked the Junior School for agreeing to the increased admission, so that everybody could move forward. Mrs Saddington said that the Governing Body had asked her to confirm to the Forum that they would not be seeking a judicial review of the determination. She had however, written to Dr Birnbaum expressing the Governor’s concern over breaches of procedure; she thought that that the draft adjudication which had been sent to the local authority for comment had been released to the public, since the school had received many phone calls prior to the formal publication of the adjudication seeking to take advantage of the extra places which would be made available. Mrs Saddington stressed that the Junior School was actively trying to work with the Infants’ School. Mrs Saddington also said that her Governing Body was concerned about the way in which the adjudicator had given priority to children with special needs. By placing such children at the head of the list, in advance of other application criteria, there was the potential that not all children in the Infants’ School would automatically transfer to the Juniors. She was also concerned that the sibling link applied only in an upwards direction, giving priority where the applicant had an older sibling at the Junior School, but did not operate to give priority admission for a younger sibling to the Infants’ school where the Junior School was able to offer a place to the older sibling. She had discussed both these points with Clare Potier and thought that an agreement had been reached, but the adjudicator had rejected arrangements. Mrs Saddington asked, on behalf of the Governing Body, for the views of the Forum. Sharman Lawson commented that the admission of children with special needs was something that could enable the school to go beyond its published admission number. However, she felt it necessary to defer the matter and consider the question of sibling links outside the meeting. Dr Satchell commented that the Admissions Code was not entirely clear; in one place it specified that siblings should be older, whereas in other 3 Agenda Item 2 Page 6 Admissions Forum – 8 February 2011 Item 2 places it made no such restriction. Mrs Saddington responded that a major intention of the Admissions Code was to accommodate family wishes by keeping children together so far as possible. 5. FAIR ACCESS PROTOCOL Enclosure 3 was the draft of the Fair Access Protocol 2009/10 & 2010/11. The major change was the introduction of cross-border arrangements with Merton, which had already been agreed at the Secondary Headteachers meeting. Discussions were now being held with Croydon and Kingston to see whether similar arrangements could be put in place. The Protocol had been sent to secondary schools for consultation. Dr Satchell said that she was concerned about the time required to admit a child under the provisions of the protocol. Peter Gasparelli accepted this but said it was an inevitable consequence of the need to pass information between several different parties. Sharman Lawson agreed with this explanation but said that nevertheless she would like to see quicker admissions. Steve Hume, on behalf of Glenthorne, said that his school was not inclined to sign the protocol in its present form. They had suggested a number of changes which he hoped would be discussed at the next meeting of secondary headteachers. He had already received some responses, had requested a reply by early November in order that the matter could be discussed at a meeting in the second week of November. His chief concerns was that schools were being asked to admit too many pupils, he suggested a maximum of four and that there should be a more even spread between schools. In view of the discussion being undertaken by secondary headteachers, it was agreed to defer this item to the next meeting of the Forum. 6. MID-TERM ADMISSION PROCEDURES Peter Gasparelli said that this was the first report about the functioning of the new mid-term co-ordinated admissions system. The new system was complex to operate, as it was London-wide, and teething difficulties, within some LAs and pressures following the summer holiday period meant that there had been some delays in processing applications.. However, there was a statutory requirement for such a system and, as it was a new process, procedures would be reviewed across London during the academic year.

  • 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.

  • The Pan-London Coordinated Admissions System: the Background
    Transferring to Secondary School September 2020 Guidance for Parents & Carers This is to explain the transfer to secondary school procedure. We appreciate this can be a really anxious time, but we are here to try to help parents understand the decisions they need to make, what they need to do and when they need to do it. These notes are relevant to Sutton residents and parents who are interested in Sutton schools. If you don’t live in Sutton there might be some differences and it is important to get a copy of your home local authority’s school admissions booklet in September. You must apply online if you can at www.sutton.gov.uk/admissions. This is a safer and more convenient option, and there are other benefits shown at paragraph 16 below. The Pan-London Coordinated Admissions System: the background 1. Since September 2005, all 33 London Local Authorities and a number of local authorities that border London have co-ordinated admissions to their schools. 2. The system is a voluntary extension of the requirement by the government that all councils co-ordinate admissions to their schools within their area. 3. To give you some idea, some 60,000 pupils living in London transfer to secondary school each year – between 12,000 and 15,000 pupils travel across borough boundaries to do so. 4. Previously parents in London who applied to several schools, often in more than one Local Authority, may have received more than one offer, which meant that others received no offer at all. 5. Pan London co-ordination makes the admissions system fairer and improves outcomes for parents.
