    Wednesday 6th September 2017 Dear Year 6 and Year 5 Parents and Carers, As your children start in Year 6 and Year 5 I know that many of you will have started considering secondary schools. The window for application to a secondary school (local authority, voluntary aided, academy or free school) starting in September 2018 is now open. A leaflet with the key dates is attached to this email and an electronic brochure giving detailed information about all aspects of the process is now available on Richmond Council’s website and can be accessed using the link below: http://www.richmond.gov.uk/media/3066/secondary_admission.pdf This brochure explains exactly what you need to do and when you need to do it, as well as giving information about the schools in Richmond. In addition to the brochure and prior to you making your decision about which schools to apply for, secondary schools offer opportunities to visit and look around. The timetable for Richmond schools’ open mornings and evenings is in the document attached with this letter. These visits offer you the opportunity to meet with the staff and pupils of the schools to find out more and ask questions. Although these are specifically related to the pupils starting secondary in September 2018, parents and carers of children in Year 5 may also wish to attend in order to start thinking about which school they would like their child to attend from September 2019. Several of our parents, whose children are now in secondary, did this when their pupils were in Year 5 and they found the experience helpful.

  • OSA Determination ADA3367: Waldegrave School 27 September
    DETERMINATION Case reference: ADA3367 Objector: A parent, carer or other person with parental responsibility for a child who will be the right age to join the school in September 2019. Admission Authority: The Waldegrave Trust for Waldegrave School, Richmond Date of decision: 27 September 2018 Determination In accordance with section 88H(4) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, I partially uphold the objection to the admission arrangements for September 2019 determined by the governing board of Waldegrave School on behalf of the Waldegrave Trust for Waldegrave School, in the London Borough of Richmond. 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, or such other date specified by the adjudicator. The arrangements must be revised within two months of the date of this determination to ensure that the boundaries of the catchment area and the location of the dividing line between Areas A and B are made clear to parents. If this is done by way of a map, the map must be published as part of the admission arrangements. The arrangements for admission to the sixth form must be revised with effect from 28 February 2019 to ensure that they comply with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 and paragraphs 1.1 and 1.8 of the Code.

It should be read together with the Richmond's infant, junior, primary and secondary schools brochure available on the Richmond Council website which provides information about the state-funded schools in Richmond. For the purpose of this brochure the term ‘parent’ is used to mean parent or carer unless otherwise differentiated. The normal admissions round is defined as the period when parents are invited to make an on- time application for transfer to secondary school and a determination is made by the authority on the national offer date. Applications to transfer into Year 7 in a secondary school in September 2022 must be completed by Richmond borough residents only. Please provide a copy of any supporting documentation requested as we will not be responsible for the return, loss or damage to any original documents supplied.

  • Secondary School Admissions
    TRANSFER TO SECONDARY SCHOOL SEPTEMBER 2020 YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED ABOUT OFFERS I have not been offered any school place. Why is this the case and what will happen next? The offer process starts on 2nd March and continues during the spring and summer until children start school in September 2020. This means that some parents will not be offered a place for their child on 2 March and we realise how disappointing and upsetting that is. However, experience shows us that places become available from movement on waiting lists, as families move out of the area or make alternative arrangements for their child’s education. We will be monitoring your situation closely and while we may not be able to contact you as regularly as we would like, please be assured that we will be keeping a close eye on your child’s progress on waiting lists and looking at alternative options which you may not have considered. We plan the number of school places required according to the number that will be needed for children to start school in September, rather than at the time offers are sent out initially in March. In previous years all initially unplaced children have been placed within a reasonable period of time and we expect the same to be the case this year. We hope that your wait for a school place for your child will be minimal, and we recognise that it is an anxious time. I have been offered a school place that I did not apply for. What can I do? Please make arrangements to visit the allocated school before you make a decision about the place offered.
