Dear Parent/Carer
Welcome to Hackney! Home to some of the countrys most rapidly improving primary
schools, filled with a vibrant, dynamic and diverse mix of children.
The Learning Trust provides the education service
in Hackney on behalf of the council.
Currently, two-thirds of our primary schools are rated
by Ofsted as good or outstanding, and none are in
special measures. The total percentage of pupils
achieving the target Level 4 or above in both
English and maths before they leave primary school
has risen from 71% to 76%. This is one of the
biggest improvements in the country, a 17
percentage point rise since 2007, and puts the
borough above the national and London average.
In Hackney, we are committed to providing the
highest quality teaching and learning, supported
by dedicated and experienced staff all working
together towards the same goal creating the best
possible opportunities for your child.
This guide tells you about our primary schools so
that you can choose the best school for your child.
Starting school for the first time is a major event for
you and your child. We all know that primary
education is a vital stage in a childs development;
one that shapes them for life. When you have
chosen the schools that you think will suit your child,
it will be a good idea to visit these schools, have a
look around and talk to the Headteacher and staff.
1 LEARNING TRUST
55 VIBRANT NURSERY & PRIMARY SCHOOLS
897 INSPIRATIONAL TEACHERS
18,161 SMILING FACES
76% achieve Level 4 or above at KS2
I know that any one of our primary schools will give

your child an excellent start to their school career
and help improve their learning in the future.
Your child will become part of a community of
Hackney schools that is proud and excited about
its achievements so far and the direction in which
its headed. We call it Success in the Making.
Visit www.successinthemaking.co.uk and see some
of the exciting work taking place.
Our schools have strong community links and
reflect the communities they serve. Hackney
primary schools are committed to diversity, and
actively promote equality and tackle discrimination.
Pupils are encouraged to achieve their full potential
and make positive contributions to our diverse
society as they grow up. We expect our pupils to
live active healthy lifestyles; to take advantage of
the opportunities offered by the schools; to set
high expectations for themselves and fulfill their
potential by working to the best of their ability.
We believe that primary education is about

children experiencing the joy of discovery, solving
problems, being creative, developing their self
confidence as learners and maturing socially and
emotionally. We are also committed to providing
opportunities for pupils to develop in a safe and
stable environment. Above all, we encourage
positive parental involvement with our schools,
so that you can contribute to your childs learning,
support the school by maintaining high standards
of work and behaviour, and encourage your child
to achieve their best.
Your child is about to begin the first stage of the
journey to success. I wish you well in your choice
of school.

2012 ADMISSION TO
HACKNEYS PRIMARY SCHOOLS
This booklet contains information about childcare, nursery places and applying for a
primary school place.
You should read sections one, two and especially
the table in section three that has the cut-off
distances for community schools and shows how
places were allocated at religious schools. Please
be aware that it is not possible for every parent to
get a place at one of their preferred schools. Many
schools are heavily oversubscribed and so you will
need to think carefully before deciding which
schools to apply for. Weve also included other
information that you may find helpful, such as how
to apply for free school meals and what to do if
your child has an SEN statement.
Visiting schools
Our Headteachers are more than happy for parents
to visit their schools. We recommend that you do
this because it will give you an idea of what the
school has to offer. All our primary schools have
well qualified teachers who are committed to
helping your child achieve their best. Schools
encourage parents to get involved in school life.
If you arent able to visit the school, you can always
visit their website for more information. Details of
their website addresses are on pages 10-17.

Who do I contact to get

information about childcare?
Why should I send my child to a

nursery?
If you are looking for information on childcare in

Hackney, but dont know where to start, you should
call the Hackney Family Information Service or visit
their web page. They can tell you about your
childcare options and give you information about
help with paying for childcare, such as free nursery
places for 3 and 4 year olds and tax credits. They
have lists of all registered childcare providers
including nurseries, playgroups, childminders,
holiday playschemes, after-school and breakfast
clubs.
Going to a nursery school or class will give your

child a valuable introduction to school life. It will
allow them to develop their skills, as part of a large
group of children of their own age, in a happy and
relaxed atmosphere. The day is planned so that
children are able to develop at their own pace.
If your child goes to a nursery class attached to a
primary school, there is no automatic transfer into
the reception class at the same school. You will
have to complete a separate application form for a
place in a reception class. Please see section two
for details.
The service also has information on other activities

such as leisure and family support services. It also
produces the Hackney Family Directory which
explains all this in more detail.
There is a phone line and drop in service if you
want to speak to an adviser personally about any
childcare issues. Please call the Hackney Family
Information Service on 020 8820 7590 or visit
www.learningtrust.co.uk/fis
When can my child start in a nursery

class?
SECTION ONE
starting nursery class
Children can start nursery classes attached to a

primary school, or one of the nursery schools, in
the school term after they reach their third birthday.
The age they can start depends on how many
places are available. Most nursery places are for
half a day, either morning or afternoon. Take a look
at the table on page 21 to see the exact term when
your child would be eligible to start at a nursery
class in a primary school. Full time places will only
be offered to those children who meet the criteria.
Further information about this is available from the
primary school.
The Learning Trust
How do I apply for a nursery place

at a school?
If you want to apply for a nursery place for your
child, you should contact at least three of your
preferred schools when your child is two years old,
but not before. You will then have to fill in a nursery
application form. The school will write to you in the
term before your child is due to attend to let you
know whether you have been offered a place.
You must provide proof of address with your
application form. If you are offered a nursery place,
the school will also need to see your childs birth
certificate to confirm their name and date of birth.
Please note that completing your application form
early does not give you priority over other children
who might apply later. Take a look at the table on
page 21 to see the closing date for applications
and the date when you will be informed of the
outcome of your application. This depends on
when your child was born in the year.

SECTION ONE
STARTING NURSERY CLASS
What are the admissions criteria

for nursery schools and classes in
community primary schools?
If more children apply for a nursery place at a
particular school than there are places available,
the Headteacher will allocate places according to
how many are available. Priority will be given in the
following order:
01. Children in public care or subject to a Child
Protection Plan who live within the current
recruitment area for a place at that school.
02. Children with an educational, medical or social
need for a nursery place.*
03. Children whose parents can take up or stay in a
teaching post in one of Hackneys schools.**
04. Children with brothers and sisters already at the
school at the time of the proposed admission
(includes foster and step brothers and sisters
living as a family unit at the same address).
05. Children living nearest to the school as
measured in a straight line from their home
address or their childminders address using a
map or website for calculating distances.***
NOTES
* This applies to the nearest school unless your
childs need justifies a place at a particular
school.Headteachers can take into account
educational or medical needs such as
developmental, speech and language delay or
physical needs. The school will need to see
evidence of this from a doctor, hospital
consultant, health visitor or education and child
professional.
** If you are a Hackney school teacher, you can
apply for a nursery place for your child under
this scheme but only for one child in each
class, or two places in the case of twins. You
must apply to the primary school where you
teach, or one that is within one mile of your
place of work.

If we need a tie-breaker decision for priorities 1, 2,

3 and 4 in this list, we will use distance as measured
in item 5 above.
How does my child meet the criteria

for a full-time nursery place?
There will be a limited number of places made
available, and these will be allocated to the most
vulnerable children and those in need.
Assessments and evidence will be used to decide
the level of need for each child and whether a
full-time place should be offered. The evidence
used for assessing need can be written evidence
from a number of different professionals, records
of a conversation between the school and
appropriate professionals involved with the childs
family and follow up from information on
application forms.
What happens if my child doesnt get

a nursery place?
If you are not offered a place in your preferred
nursery class, you can ask for your child to be put
on the application list (this operates in a similar way
to a waiting list). Each child is ranked in line with
the admissions criteria described above. Places are
offered as and when they arise. This may mean that
your child is offered a place one or more terms
after they have turned three. The length of time
your child has been on the list doesnt give them
priority over other children on the list. If you are not
offered a place at your preferred nursery, you cant
appeal against this decision.
If you dont have a nursery place for your child, or
you have just moved into Hackney and all your
local school nurseries are now full, you should
contact the Hackney Family Information Service at
The Learning Trust on 020 8820 7590. They will be
able to give you details about local childrens
centres, nurseries, childminders, one oclock clubs
and crches.

Admission to nursery classes at

religious schools
The governing body of each religious school is
responsible for admissions to their nursery class.
You should contact each school individually to find
out whether you have been offered a place and the
start date. The schools are listed on page 9 and 24
of this booklet. Religious schools will also ask for
additional information about your membership of a
particular faith. If you want your application to be
considered under the faith priorities you will have
to complete a Supplementary Information Form.
This must be returned to the school concerned.
*** If your child is cared for by a childminder

during the week, we can use their address to
work out the distance to school. The school will
ask to see proof of this arrangement. When the
school work out distances, they will decide
which method to use to calculate the distances.

When can my child start reception

class?
How can I find out if I am likely to

get a place at a particular school?
All children whose birthday falls between 1

September 2007 and 31 August 2008 will start
primary school in September 2012.
The information in the table on pages 32-39 will

show you how places were allocated for the school
year 2011. Its not possible to offer a place to every
parent who applies to certain schools, so its
important that you know what your chances are.
You can work out the distance between your
postcode and the schools postcode to give you an
idea of how far you live from any Hackney school
by using www.freemaptools.com/distancebetween-uk-postcodes.htm. Although this wont
give you the exact measurement, it will give you an
idea of whether you stand a chance of getting a
place at your preferred schools.
When a school place has been offered, parents can

delay their childs entry into the reception class, or
ask for their child to go part-time, until the
beginning of the term following their fifth birthday.
For children born between 1 September and 31
December 2007, the place can only be put back
until the spring term (January 2013).
Parents with children born between 1 January and
31 August 2008 can wait until the start of the
summer term (April 2013), however it would be
better not to delay beyond January 2013.
How do I apply for a place in a

reception class?
SECTION TWO
starting primary school
All Hackney residents can apply for a reception

class place from 1 September 2011. You should
complete The Learning Trusts Common Application
Form online at www.eadmissions.org.uk or you can
get a paper application form from our Admissions
Team. We will need to see proof of the address
where you and your child normally live. You can list
up to six state-maintained primary schools or
academies in any London area in order of
preference. The reception class admissions process
is now co-ordinated London-wide, so you only
need to complete the home local authority
application form listing all the London schools you
prefer. The closing date is 15 January 2012.
How do I apply for a school place if

my child has a statement of special
educational needs (SEN)?
Pupils who have an SEN statement follow a
different transfer process from other children. If
your child has a statement, you will need to tell the
Special Needs Assessment and Monitoring Team
which schools you prefer. The Learning Trust has a
duty to check that the named school is able to
meet your childs special educational needs, and to
agree to the placement. This consultation should
be finished well in time to secure a place for your
child to start school in September 2012.
If you need more advice about this, you can contact
the Special Needs Assessment and Monitoring
Team on 020 8820 7000.
The Learning Trust
Was your child born between

1 September 2007 and 31 August 2008?
If yes, you need to apply for
a reception class place now!
Closing date: 15 January 2012

SECTION TWO
STARTING PRIMARY SCHOOL IN 2012

How do I apply to a religious

school?
How do I apply for schools in

another local authority?
You can apply for a place at a religious school by

listing the school on the online application form.
Please check the admissions policy for each of the
religious schools you are considering to see
whether you qualify for a school place. Information
relating to the admission policies for Hackney
religious schools are in section four of this booklet.
Religious schools will also ask for extra information
about your membership of a particular faith. You
will have to complete a Supplementary Information
Form and return it to the school concerned if you
want to be given priority on the grounds of
religion.
If you want to apply for a place at any of your

neighbouring LAs primary schools, simply list them
on the online application form in your order of
preference. All London LAs work together on the
transfer process, and they use the Pan-London
Register to do this. This means that you will only
have to complete one application form, listing all
your preferred schools together, regardless of
which boroughs the schools are in.
Dont forget to put the name of the school on the

online application form otherwise we wont be able
to forward your application to the school or LA.
You can also use this website to find out more

about the schools in other boroughs. Its easier to
apply online using the eadmissions system, and
there are other good reasons to use this method.
The following religious schools in Hackney will ask

you to complete a supplementary form:
Holy Trinity, Church of England
Lubavitch Ruth Lunzer, Girls Jewish
Our Lady and St Joseph, Catholic
Simon Marks, Jewish
St Dominics, Catholic
St John and St James, Church of England
St John of Jerusalem, Church of England
St John the Baptist, Church of England
St Marys, Church of England
St Matthias, Church of England
St Monicas, Catholic
St Pauls with St Michaels, Church of England
St Scholasticas, Catholic
You can get the supplementary forms from The
Learning Trust or directly from any of the above
schools.
How do I apply online?

You can apply online at www.eadmissions.org.uk
Its quick, easy and secure.

Youll get an email confirming that your
application has been received.
The system helps you by checking for errors.
Theres no risk of your application being lost in
the post.
You will get the result of your application by
email, before the letter arrives in the post.
The online system is available 24 hours 7 days a
week up to the closing date of 15 January 2012.
You can login and change your preferences at
any time until midnight of the closing date,
listing any six primary schools in London.
Once youve completed your online application,
youll receive an email telling you your 16 digit
reference number. If you dont receive this email,
then its likely that your application hasnt been
submitted successfully. In this case, youll need to
log back into the eadmissions website and submit
your application again by following the online
instructions.
When is the closing date for

applications?
You must submit your online form, or return your
paper application form, to one of the primary
schools or to The Learning Trust by 15 January 2012.
24
The Learning Trust
25
SECTION TWO
What documents do I need to send

with my application?
You should send the following documents with
your application form:
a copy of the childs birth certificate or medical
card to show the date of birth;
a copy of a child tax credit or child benefit letter.
If you havent got a letter, please contact HM
Revenue and Customs on 0845 302 1444 or visit
www.hmrc.gov.uk/childbenefit/index.htm;
a copy of this years council tax bill or a housing
benefit letter;
an original utility bill received within the last two
months. This can be a gas, electricity, water, TV
Licence or landline phone bill.
Failure to send us the proof we need may cause
delays in processing your application. We will
match the address on the application form with the
one we already have on our database. If you have
changed address in the last year, we may ask for
further proof that your current address is your
home address.
How will you process my

application?

use the Pan-London Register to forward your childs

details to the other LAs. We will then record all
potential offers before allocating you a place at
the highest available ranked school on your list.
For example, if there are places at the schools
ranked second and third on your application form,
we will offer you a place at your second choice of
school. Offers from schools ranked lower on your
list will be declined.
This process ensures that pupils are offered only
one place in any state maintained school or
academy.
Can I get priority for my childs

medical or social need?
If you have asked for your child to be given priority
for a place at a particular school on medical or
social grounds, we will need to see proof of this.
The kind of proof we need would be a letter from a
hospital consultant, social worker or any other
agency or professional involved with your case.
These documents must show why your child should
be given a place at a particular school. The
documents should be received by The Learning
Trust by 7 March 2012. Very few children are given
priority under this criterion. You will receive a letter
dated 18 April 2012 telling you the outcome of
The Admissions Team will keep full details of your

application on their pupil database. Each of your
preferences listed on your application form will be
considered at the same time.
your application, but not the reasons why priority

was not granted. You should contact the
Admissions Team for the reasons of the decision.
05. Children living nearest to the main entrance of

the school. These distances will be measured in
a straight line using a GIS computerised batch
distance measuring mapping system.***
If I have twins or triplets, is any

special consideration given to my
application?
We will need to get confirmation from Children

Social Care for priorities 1 and 2. Also, if we need a
tie-breaker decision for priorities 1, 2 and 4, we will
use distance, as measured in item 5 above.
We do not give special consideration to these

cases. If we can only offer one child a place at a
particular school, we will decide who is offered the
place by drawing lots. Alternatively we will talk to
the school to find out if it is possible to offer the
other child/children a place.
My child attends the nursery, will

they automatically get a place at
the main school?
We cant guarantee that children who attend the
nursery class of a community primary school will be
offered a place at the same school. This is because
the criteria for the reception class is different and
some parents send their children to other Early
Years Centres and nurseries, and all parents have to
be treated equally, regardless of which nursery their
children attend.
However, some religious schools do give priority to
the children who attend their nursery. The religious
Schools admissions arrangements in Section Four
will tell you more about this.
What are the admissions criteria

for community primary schools in
Hackney?
If you have a preference for a religious school as

listed on page 24, the Admissions Team will
forward your details to that school to apply their
admissions criteria. These schools will not know
how you have ranked their school. If you list any
state maintained schools outside Hackney, we will
Places will be offered to children using the

admissions criteria shown below. Some places are
given to children with SEN statements. The
remaining places are offered in this order of
priority:
01. Children in care.
02. Children who are subject to a Child Protection
Plan.
03. Children whose acute medical or social need
justifies the allocation of a place at the
particular school.*
04. Children with a brother or sister on roll at the
school in reception to year 6 at the time of the
proposed admission.**
26
The Learning Trust
* ACUTE MEDICAL OR SOCIAL NEED

The Head of Admissions will decide on these
cases. Where necessary, we will ask the Health
Service for advice. The medical needs of
parents cannot justify a place at a particular
school but a child may have a social need
because of their parents medical condition. We
will need to see medical evidence in support of
these cases, which must clearly show why the
child should be given a place at that particular
school, together with an explanation of the
difficulties that would be caused if the child
were to attend another school. Parents are
responsible for providing the evidence. Very few
cases are awarded under this priority. If you are
not given priority, you can contact the
Admissions Team to find out why.
** SIBLINGS
A brother or sister must live permanently at the
same address as the child for whom the
application is being made. This includes a half
brother or sister, a step-brother or sister and a
foster brother or sister who lives permanently as
a family unit at the same address.
*** DISTANCE
When we work out distances, we use
geographical information provided by the local
council. If a number of addresses have the same
geographical property reference, or if there are
a number of applicants living the same distance
away from the school, we will look at other ways
to identify those who live nearest to the school.
If a child lives with a parent who shares parental
responsibilities, the address where the child
spends most of their time will be used to work
out distances from home to school. If a child
divides their time equally between each parent
during the week, the parents must choose which
address to use for all their preferences.
27
SECTION TWO

What happens if I apply late or want

to change my preferences?
The closing date for applications is 15 January
2012. We will only consider late applications if they
are late for a good reason. This can be where a
single parent has been ill for some time, a close
relative has died, or if the family has just moved in
to the area or just returned from abroad (proof of
ownership or tenancy of a property will be required
in these cases). We can only do this up to 17
February 2012. We will consider all circumstances
and each case will be dealt with on its merits. In all
other cases, late applications will have to wait until
after 18 April 2012. If you applied on time, but
decide to change your preferences after the
closing date, your request will be dealt with after all
the late and unplaced applicants requests for
school places have been considered.
When will I know the outcome of my

application?
You will be sent a letter on 18 April 2012 telling you
the outcome of your application and the name of
the school where your child has been offered a
place. You will only get one offer of a school place.
If you have applied online, you will receive an email
from www.eadmissions.org.uk on 18 April 2012
from early evening.
What happens if I dont want the

school place offered?
What do I need to do if I want

to delay my childs start to the
reception class?
If you get an offer of a reception class place but
then decide you want to delay your childs start,
you will need to discuss this first with the nursery
that your child attends. This is important so that
you can find out if you can keep your childs nursery
place as the nursery may have already allocated all
of their nursery places for the following school year.
If you decide to go ahead and delay your childs
start in the reception class until the spring or
summer term 2013, you must also let the primary
school know where your child has the reception
place so that they have sufficient notice and can
plan for the delay.
How do places get re-allocated

when a vacancy becomes available?
Any places that become available from 19 April to
1 September 2012 will be offered to children on the
waiting list for their preferred schools. Any child
who has been refused a place at a higher ranked
school, including schools in other LAs, or not
offered a place at any of their preferred schools,
will be on this list. Their position on the list will be
worked out according to the admissions criteria for
each school, so your child can move either up or
down the list.
The letter you receive on 18 April 2012 will have a

reply slip attached. You must use this slip to let us
know that you no longer need the place and the
reason why. You must do this by 2 May 2012.
28
The Learning Trust
29
SECTION TWO
What happens if I dont get a place at

any of my preferred schools?
If you havent had an offer, you will be sent a letter
telling you which schools are still available in
Hackney and neighbouring boroughs. You should
reply saying whether you would like a place at one
of these schools. The Admissions Team will then
deal with your request and write to you to let you
know if a place can be offered.
If you have no offer due to submitting your
application late and all the places have already
been allocated, your child will be placed on the
waiting list for the schools you have applied to.
Your position on the list will be decided in line with
the admissions criteria. You will be sent a letter
letting you know the outcome of your application
and listing the other schools that are still available.
What happens if I move house?

If you move home during the admissions process,
we will need to see proof of address before 17
February 2012 if you want us to use that address for
your childs admission to primary school. Please see
page 25 to find out what we accept as proof of
address. If you move after this date, we can only
use your new address to work out your child
position on the waiting list for the schools unable
to offer a place. If we find out that a school place
was obtained using a wrong or false address, we
will withdraw the offer of a place in the same way
that we have done in previous years.
If I know someone has used a false

address to get a school place,
can I report this to anyone?
You can report this to us confidentially on 020 8820
7402. You dont need to tell us who you are. Please
give us as much information as possible so that we
can investigate the matter fully. If we find that a
school place was obtained using a false address,
we will withdraw our offer of a place and give it to
the child who was entitled to that school place.

You must send your completed appeals form to

The Learning Trust or the school by 9 May 2012.
We will then contact you to invite you to the appeal
hearing. You can get independent advice about
appeals from the Advisory Centre for Education on
0808 800 5793 or you can visit www.ace-ed.org.uk
How do I appeal if my child has a

statement of special educational
needs?
If your child has an SEN statement you can appeal
against a named school to the special needs
tribunal (SEND). This is different from the normal
school admissions appeal hearings. You should
contact the Special Needs Assessment and
Monitoring team on 020 8820 7000 to discuss this.
In-year admission of twins or

triplets in year 3 and above
If there is only one place available, we will ask the
school if it can also admit your other child/children.
If not, we will help you find places at a school that
can admit all of your children.
Pupils who have been permanently

excluded from a primary school
If your child has been permanently excluded from a
primary school, their details will be sent to the
Head of Clissold Park Short Stay School, who will
arrange for them to attend the centre. Clissold Park
provides full-time education for Hackney pupils
who have been permanently excluded. The centre
provides assessment and intervention to ensure

pupils remain engaged in learning, so that the
behaviour that led to their permanent exclusion is
addressed and they receive all the support they
need to move into a new school. Children who are
ready to reintegrate into a mainstream school will
be allocated a school place by the Fair Access
Protocol Panel.
Fair Access Protocol 2012

All schools have signed up to this protocol. The
Fair Access Protocol Panel meets once a month to
allocate school places to pupils who are covered by
the protocol. You can get a copy of the protocol
from the Admissions Team on 020 8820 7402.
In-year primary school admissions

for 2012
The parent of any child who needs a transfer, or is a
new arrival, will have to complete an in-year
application form (ICAF), the application form is
available from The Learning Trust. If a place can be
offered, the school will set up an enrolment
meeting within two weeks. If there are more
applications than places available in a year group,
places will be given to the children who best meet
the admission criteria, up to the number of places
available. If the school is unable to offer a place,
The Learning Trust will tell you the other schools
that have places available. You can ask for your
childs name to be placed on the waiting list for any
of your preferred schools, and you also have the
right of appeal. For further advice or information
about this process, please contact the in-year
admission officers on 020 8820 7397 / 7398 / 7489
/ 7197.
How do I appeal?
If you are unhappy because you havent been able
to get a place at one of your preferred primary
schools, you can appeal against the decision to an
independent appeal panel. The letter sent to you
dated 18 April 2012 will tell you who to contact for
an appeals form.

SECTION FOUR
RELIGIOUS PRIMARY SCHOOLS ADMISSIONS POLICY FOR 2012-2013
Oversubscription criteria
In all categories, children who have a brother or
sister at the school at the time of their proposed
entry will be given priority.
When deciding between applicants who appear to
have equal entitlement to admission under any
criteria, the governors will offer the place to the
applicant who lives nearest to the main entrance to
the school in Beechwood Road measured by a
straight line.
Waiting list
If a place cannot be offered at this time then you
may ask the school for the reason(s) and you will be
informed of your right of appeal. You will be
offered the opportunity of being placed on a
waiting list.
This waiting list will be maintained by the Governing
Body in the order of the oversubscription criteria
and not in the order that the applications were
received.
When a place becomes available the Governing
Body will decide who is at the top of the list so that
the Local Authority can inform the parent that the
school is making an offer. Names are removed from
the list at the end of each academic year.
The school maintains a waiting list. Children are
ranked in the waiting list in accordance with the
school over subscription criteria. Admissions
outside the normal admissions round will be
considered in accordance with the schools In-Year
admissions criteria.
It should be understood by parents that a place in
the nursery does not give a child automatic entry to
the reception class.

LUBAVITCH RUTH LUNZER - GIRLS JEWISH

The schools educational philosophy is based on
the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbi, Rabbi M M
Schneerson OBM, who has developed the
principles of the Lubavitch Foundation. The school
provides a broad and balanced education based
on these principles combined with the National
Curriculum.
Priority in admissions will be given to children who
are Jewish according to Halochah (Orthodox
Jewish Law). In the event of any dispute as to
whether a child is Jewish, the decision of the Court
of the Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom is final.
Applications must be submitted on The Learning
Trusts application form. Applicants wishing to be
considered under priorities 1 to 4 and 6 should also
complete the religious affiliation form. Both forms

The school will admit 30 girls to each year group
from Reception to Year 6 inclusive. Children will be
admitted to the reception class in accordance with
The Learning Trusts policy. The school also
provides education for children of nursery age.
Attendance in the nursery class does not guarantee
admission to the schools reception class of the
school.
Children for whom the school has been named in a
statement of special educational needs will be
admitted to the school and will count against the
planned admission number.
Late applicants will be added to the waiting list if the

year group they are applying for is oversubscribed.
In the event of a place becoming available, all
applicants currently on the waiting list are
considered in line with the schools admission
criteria and a place is offered accordingly.
Over subscription criteria

If there are more applications than places available
to fill reception and years 1 to 6 in 2012/13, the
governing body will admit pupils in accordance
with the following over subscription criteria in
priority order.
01. Orthodox Jewish girls who are in public care.
02. Orthodox Jewish girls with a sister* living at the

In the event of there being insufficient vacancies to
admit all applicants in any of the categories

geographical references as determined by the
borough Council in which the applicant lives.
*NOTE
OUR LADY AND ST JOSEPH - CATHOLIC

2012/13 Admissions Policy* for the Reception,
Infant and Junior Classes
As a Catholic school, we aim to provide a Catholic
education for all our pupils. At a Catholic school,
Catholic doctrine and practice permeate every
aspect of the schools activity. It is essential that the
Catholic character of the schools education is fully
supported by all families in the school. All
applicants are therefore expected to give their full,
unreserved and positive support for the aims and
ethos of the school.
Each year there are many more applications than
places available and pupils will be admitted to the
School according to the order of priority in the
oversubscription criteria (see below).
Applicants should be aware that Nursery education
is a non-statutory service and that accordingly a
childs attendance in the schools Nursery Class
does not guarantee a future place in the
Reception, Infant or Junior classes.
Pupil numbers
The Governing Body will ensure that the number of
pupils admitted to each year group will be such as
to conform to statutory legislation. The Governing
Body proposes to admit 30 pupils, being the
published admissions number, to each year group.
*NOTE
This policy does not apply to the nursery class.
This includes half sisters, step sisters and foster

sisters who live permanently at the same
address. This criterion does not apply to sisters
in year 6 at the time of the reception
application.
Information about which streets and residences are

included in the Parishes of Holy Trinity with St
Philip, Dalston and All Saints Haggerston can be
found from the Church Finder section of the
Diocesan website www.london.anglican.org/

should indicate in writing the reasons for this
being the case. Those applying as practising
Catholics should ask the priest at the church
where they worship to complete the Priests

the stipulated closing date. The Supplementary
Information Form (SIF) is available from the local
authority.
Waiting list
places available then applications will be ranked by
the governing body in accordance with the
oversubscription criteria (with the following
modifications: Catholic children without an offer of
a place elsewhere are given priority immediately
after looked after children). If a place cannot be
offered at this time then you may ask us for the
reasons and you will be informed of your right to
appeal. You will be offered the opportunity of
being placed on a waiting list. This waiting list will
be maintained by the governing body in the order
of the oversubscription criteria (as modified above)
and not in the order in which applications are
received. Names are removed from the list at the
end of each academic year. When a place becomes
available the governing body will decide who is at
the top of the list so that the LA can inform the
parent that the school is making an offer.
Applicants not offered a place in the reception

class will be placed on a waiting list ranked in
accordance with the oversubscription criteria and
remain there until the end of the term for which
the application was made. Names are normally
removed from the list after one academic year
unless parents / carers submit a written request
asking for their application to remain on the
waiting list.
Pupils with statements of Special Educational

Needs (SEN)
The admission of pupils with statements of Special
Educational Needs is dealt with by a completely
separate procedure. The procedure is integral to
the making of statements by the pupils home Local
Authority. Details of this separate procedure are
included in the DfE Special Educational Needs
Code of Practice.
46
Children will be admitted to the School in
thefollowing order of priority:
01. Catholic looked after children.
02. Baptised children of practising Catholic
Families who will have a brother or sister
attending a reception, infant or junior class in
Our Lady and St Joseph School at the
proposed date of admission.
03. Baptised children from practising Catholic
families whose parents/legal guardians are
resident in the Hackney Catholic Deanery Parish
of Our Lady and St Joseph, Kingsland. A map

denominations whose application is supported

09. Any other applicant (see above).

Where the offer of places to all the applicants in
any of the criteria listed above would lead to
oversubscription, places up to the admission
number will be offered to those children whose
parents/carers residential address is the shortest
distance from the base of the clock tower of Our
The Learning Trust
Lady and St Joseph Catholic Primary School to the

front door of the childs home when measured in
a straight line using a GIS Computerised distance
measuring mapping system. In the case of flats the
measurement will be to the front door of the flat
within the building. For the purpose of calculating
distances the address is identified by using the
geographical reference as determined by the
borough council in which the child lives.
In the case of twins or other multiple application
forms from one family for a single remaining place
this will be dealt with by random allocation in front
of an independent witness.
The Governing Body will increase the priority of an
application within a category where evidence is
provided at the time of application of an
exceptional social, medical or pastoral need of the
child which can be most appropriately met at this
school. The Governing Body will require written
evidence from an appropriate professional such as
priest, doctor or social worker as to why the school
is the most suitable and the difficulties that would
be caused if the child had to attend another.
Admission appeals for unsuccessful applicants to
the Reception Class and Years 1 to 6
Unsuccessful applicants have the right to appeal to
an independent panel. Parents wishing to appeal
should obtain a form from the school. This should
be completed and returned to the school, marked
for the attention of Clerk to the Admission Appeal
Panel, within 21 days of receipt of the letter
confirming that the application has been
unsuccessful.
If an appeal is unsuccessful no further appeal may
be made within the same school year unless there
have been significant and material changes in the
applicants circumstances.
47

ST DOMINICS - CATHOLIC
2012/2013 Admissions Policy* for the Reception
Class and Years 1 to 6
The school serves the Hackney Catholic Parishes of
the Immaculate Heart of Mary & St. Dominic
(Homerton) and St Judes (Clapton Park). Maps are
available from The Learning Trust, the Parish offices
and from the school. Large-scale parish maps are
also on display at the school.
As a Catholic school, we aim to provide a Catholic
education for all our pupils. At a Catholic school,
Catholic doctrine and practice permeate every
aspect of the schools activity. It is essential that the
Catholic character of the schools education be fully
supported by all families in the school. All
applicants are therefore expected to give their full,
unreserved and positive support for the aims and
ethos of the school.
Reception places
Applicants should be aware that nursery education
childs attendance in the schools nursery class does
not guarantee a future place in the Reception,
Infant or Junior classes.
Pupil numbers
pupils admitted to each year group will be such as
to conform to statutory legislation. The Governing
Body proposes to admit 60 pupils, being the
published admissions number, to Reception. If
there are more applications than places available,
places will be awarded in accordance with the
oversubscription criteria (see below).
*NOTE
This policy does not apply for admission to the
nursery class for which there is a separate policy.

Application Forms
Residents of the London Borough of Hackney must
make applications for the 2012 Reception Class
intake on the Hackney Common Admissions Form
(CAF) available from The Learning Trust, Hackney
Technology & Learning Centre, 1 Reading Lane,
London E8 1GQ. All other applications should be
made on the Common Application Form of the
local authority in which the child is resident. The
Hackney CAF must be returned to The Learning
Trust by 15 January 2012 (see page 23). In all other
cases the CAF should be returned to the local
authority in which the child is resident by the date
stated.
Applications at all other times of the year for the
Reception Class and Years 1 to 6 should be made
on the Hackney Common Admissions Form (CAF)
available from The Learning Trust. If requested the
form can be sent to you by post.
Applicants may defer entry to school up until
statutory school age i.e. the first day of term
following the childs fifth birthday. Applicants may
also request that their child attends part-time until
statutory school age is reached. Application is
made in the usual way and then deferment or
part-time attendance is requested. In the case of
deferment the place will then be held until the first
day of the spring or summer term. Entry may not
be deferred beyond statutory school age or
beyond the year of application. Parents of children
with birthdays in the summer term should be aware
that, if they wish to defer, they will need to apply
for a Year 1 place for the following September and
that if the school is oversubscribed they are very
unlikely to obtain a place.
School Supplementary Information Form (SIF)
The school will provide each applicant with a
school Supplementary Information Form (SIF) to be
completed and returned to the school by the date
specified on the form. If the Supplementary
Information Form (SIF) is not completed and
returned to the school, it is unlikely that the
application will be successful as, without the
Supplementary Information Form (SIF), it will be
given a lower priority.
Applicants must provide the school with a certified
copy of the original baptismal certificate or the
original baptismal certificate. If neither one nor
both of these certificates exist applicants should
indicate in writing the reasons for this being the
case.
50
Applicants must provide the school with proof of

the childs residential address. Independent
verification may be sought of the childs residential
address.
Please note that both the Hackney Common
Admissions Form (CAF) and the school
Supplementary Information Form (SIF) should be
completed and returned, as stated above, by the
due date. The Supplementary Information Form
(SIF) is obtainable from the school and from The
Learning Trust. The form can be collected from the
school or you can ask for it to be sent to you.
Waiting list
If there is no place available, parents/carers must
confirm in writing to the school if they wish to have
their applications placed on the schools waiting
list. The waiting list will be maintained in order of
the oversubscription criteria (see below) and not in
the order in which applications are received or
added to the list.
Names are removed from the list at the end of
each academic year unless parents/carers submit a
written request asking for their application to
remain on the waiting list.
Pupils with statements of Special Educational
Needs (SEN)
Educational Needs (SEN) is dealt with by a
completely separate procedure. The procedure is
integral to the making of statements by the pupils
home Local Authority. Details of this separate
procedure are included in the DfE Special
Educational Needs Code of Practice.
In-Year admissions
is no waiting list then the Local Authority will be
informed and the place will be offered. If more
applications are received than there are places
available then applications will be ranked by the
governing body in accordance with the
oversubscription criteria, with the following
modifications: Catholic children without an offer of
a school place elsewhere are given priority
immediately after Catholic looked-after children;
similarly, other children without an offer of a school
place are given priority immediately after other
looked-after children.
The Learning Trust

may ask us for the reasons and you will be informed
of your right of appeal. You will be offered the
opportunity of being placed on a waiting list. This
waiting list will be maintained by the governing
body in the order of the oversubscription criteria,
as modified above, and not in the order in which
the applications are received. Names are removed
from the list at the end of each academic year.
When a place becomes available the Governing
Body will decide who is at the top of the list so that
the LEA can inform the parent that the school is
making an offer.
Children will be admitted to the school in the
following order of priority:
02. Catholic children whose parents/legal
guardians are resident in the Hackney Catholic
Deanery Parishes of St Dominics (Homerton)
and St Judes (Clapton Park). See parish maps.
03. Other Catholic Children.
05. Children of other Christian denominations
whose parents wish them to have a Catholic
education and whose applications are
supported by a Priest, Minister or Church
Leader.
06. Any other applicants.
In prioritising applications within the oversubscription
criteria first priority will be given to children who will
have a brother or sister attending a Reception, Infant
or Junior class at St Dominics Catholic Primary
School at the proposed date of admission.
The Governing Body will increase to top priority an
application within a criterion where compelling
evidence is provided at the time of application of an
child which can only be met at St Dominics Catholic
Primary School. The Governing Body will require
written evidence from an appropriate professional
such as priest, doctor or social worker.
Please note that for the past three years no applicant
has been admitted beyond criterion five.

admit the following numbers of children each year:
A total of 26 full-time children in the Nursery
Class.
A total of 30 children in the Reception Class.
There will be one intake per year.
The admission numbers and dates of admission
were agreed in consultation with the Local
Authority. All children who attend the nursery will
be required to complete an application form as
there is no automatic transfer from nursery to

worshippers (at least once every three weeks,
for one year) at St John of Jerusalem Church.

In the event of oversubscription in all above

criteria, the shortest walking distance from the
school will determine the childs admission. The
distance will be measured in a straight line from the
childs home address (including flats) to the main
entrance of the school, using the Local Authoritys
computerised measuring system. Those living
closer to the school will receive the higher priority.
Any child who attends a place of worship will only
be considered if the minister of religion has
confirmed regular worship on the attached form.
Should this form not be received, this will reduce
the possibility of the childs admission being
accepted.
If you are making your admissions application in
relation to criteria points 2, 5, 6, or 7, please ensure
you provide the Supplementary Information Form
(SIF) as confirmation of Church/other faith
membership duly signed by your Vicar, Pastor or

Multiple births: Key Stage 1
If only one place is available at the school and the
next child who qualifies for a place is one of
multiple birth siblings, only one child can be
offered a place. This is because at Key Stage 1 it is
against the law to admit more than 30 children into
one class. In this instance the parent will be
consulted as to whether they wish to accept the
place at the school and then place the sibling(s) on
the waiting list. Under these circumstances the
school will contact the Local Authority so they may
support the family and assist them to identify
suitable alternative places.
Multiple births: Key Stage 2
If only one place is available at the school and the
next child who qualifies for a place is one of
multiple births we will consider whether we go over
our published admission number in order to
support the family.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Community Services - School Nursing
Becoming a School Governor
Each school is given a named qualified nurse, who

is based at a local health centre, but works mainly
within the schools and visits them regularly. There is
also a named doctor for each school, who
specialises in childrens health, but does not take
the place of the GP. The school nurse and doctor
work together as part of a school health team to
help improve childrens health, to support children
with special needs and to offer advice and health
education to children, parents, carers and teachers.
This allows children to get the best possible level
of health and benefit from their education.
All our schools have governing bodies. They play a

vital role in overseeing the way in which schools are
run. These governing bodies are made up of the
Headteacher and volunteers from staff, parents and
the wider community. Their responsibilities include:
All children will be offered a health assessment

during their first year in reception. This will include
having their height, weight, hearing and vision
checked by the school nurse. This is often
combined with a health interview. You will be
invited to attend the interview, so that you can talk
about any health related worries. You will normally
be sent a questionnaire when you child enters
reception class. This will ask you about your childs
health and whether they have any health conditions,
such as asthma, diabetes, epilepsy and so on.
You will need to give your consent for your child to
participate. In year 6, all children will have their
height and weight checked as part of the national
child measurement programme. Again, we will
need your consent to ensure your child is included
in this very important health assessment.
ratifying school policies on matters such as

behaviour, homework and special needs;
If your child starts school at other stages, they may

have to have an interview with the school nurse
with your permission. The nurse encourages all
children to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Once a child
starts school, the school nurse will encourage
parents to agree to that child being vaccinated.
Children with special health problems, who may
need extra support to cope at school, such as
children with physical disabilities, learning
difficulties or chronic illness, are increasingly taking
part in mainstream education. The school nurse
will help to identify their particular needs and
arrange any extra support they might need.
setting overall objectives and priorities for the

school;
monitoring and evaluating the schools
performance;
agreeing how the schools budget is spent;
setting targets for achievement; and making sure

children get the education they are entitled to.
You dont have to have experience or be an expert
on education. Governors come from all sorts of
backgrounds, and training is available to help you
develop the necessary skills and knowledge. What
you do need are:
enthusiasm and commitment;
a willingness to get involved and give some of
your time; and
the ability to work well as part of a team.
The Learning Trust is particularly keen that
governing bodies reflect the rich cultural diversity
of Hackney. If you are interested in finding out
