Insurance
In Nottinghamshire schools, there is no
insurance cover for theft of, or for damage
to, personal property from any cause other
than fire. It is recommended that you extend
you household contents policy to cover loss
or damage to your child’s personal property
while they are at school. Most schools
discourage pupils taking valuables into
school.
If your child’s personal property is damaged
in a fire in a Nottinghamshire school, you
may be able to claim against the County’s
policy, but you will need to claim first against
your own household insurance policy.
Personal accident insurance is not provided
for pupils in school. If your child has an
accident, which you feel may legally be the
responsibility of the County Council, you can
claim by writing to your child’s headteacher.
You may, however, think it wise to arrange
your own personal accident insurance for
your child. Your child’s school may know
about suitable policies.

Nottinghamshire Choice Advice
Nottinghamshire Choice Advice can provide impartial help and
support around school admissions for parents and carers living

informed and realistic preference for their child. They cannot

particular school, but they can support them with a range of

If your preference is refused, a Choice Adviser can also provide
advice and support about the school admission appeal process.

Possible admissions review
The Government has recently circulated a
revised version of the School Admissions Code
for consultation and it is proposed that this will
come into force for admissions in September
2013.
As a result of this consultation, parents are
advised that the County Council will be
reviewing its admissions arrangements. Any
consequential changes to the County Council’s
co-ordinated scheme and admissions
arrangements will be subject to full
consultation and would be implemented for the
September 2013 admission round. It is possible
that the review will identify some change which
could be introduced earlier. If this is the case
those likely to be affected will be consulted
during the autumn term and informed of any
changes before the deadline for receipt of the
application.

Admission criteria 2012/2013

The following oversubscription criteria will be used to determine how places are allocated when there are more
applications than places available. In the event of oversubscription, within any criterion, preference will be given to
children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies. Distances are measured using the Local Authority’s
computerised measuring system, currently arcview, from the entrance to the child’s home to the principal entrance to the
main administrative building of the school. Children who have a statement of special educational need that names All
Saints CE Infant School will be admitted. This will reduce the number of places available for other children.
1. Children who are ’Looked After’
2. Children, who at the time of admission, have a sibling (brother or sister) who attend the school, or the linked primary
school and whose parents have a commitment to All Saints Church, Huthwaite*
3. Children who, at the time of admission, have a sibling (brother or sister) who attend the school, or the linked primary
school and whose parents have a commitment to other churches who are members of Churches Together in England
or the Evangelical Alliance*
4 . Children who, at the time of admission, have a sibling (brother or sister) who attend the school, or the linked primary
school
5. Children whose parents have a commitment to All Saints Church, Huthwaite*
6 . Children whose parents have a commitment to any other churches who are members of Churches Together in
England or the Evangelical Alliance*
7. Any other children, including those whose parents have a commitment to any other faith group
* Within criteria 2,3,5 and 6 Governors will differentiate priority according to whether the family are
• ‘at the heart of the church’ – worshipping usually at least twice per month
• ‘attached to the church’ – worshipping usually monthly or involved in regular weekday church activities
• ‘known to the church’ – worshipping occasionally, known through a family connection or involved in a regular
weekday church activity which does not include an element of worship
41
Special Circumstances: Children whose particular medical needs, mobility support needs, special educational needs or
other circumstances are supported by written evidence from a doctor, social worker or other relevant professional
stating that the school is the only school which could cater for your child’s particular needs will be given special
consideration. The evidence must be presented at the time of application. Admission under ‘special circumstances’
will take precedence over all but the first numbered criteria.
All applications must be made on the common application form issued by the home Local Authority. The form must
be completed and returned by the closing date. In addition, applicants applying under criterion 2,3,5 or 6 should also
complete the supplementary application form which requires verification from a minister. If this document is not
completed your child may be ranked in a lower criterion.
All applications received after the closing date will be accepted but considered after those received on time.
If applications exceed the number of places available, the school will operate a waiting list in accordance with the
above oversubscription criteria. Places on the waiting list may go up or down depending on whether places become
available, or if late applications are received. The Governors of the school, in partnership with the Local Authority, will
administer the waiting list for the duration of the co-ordinated scheme.
If a child is not allocated a place, parents/carers have a statutory right of appeal. Appeals can be lodged by writing to
the Governors and appeals are heard by an independent appeals panel. The decision of the panel will be binding on
parents and on the school.
The Governing Body operates a single entry admission policy prior to a child’s fifth birthday, admitting children full-
time at the beginning of the Autumn Term. The children are offered a part-time place in school for the preceding
Summer Term. Some parents wish to defer the start of full-time education until compulsory school age. If you would
like to take up this option, you may arrange the details with the Head Teacher. However, if your child’s birthday falls
between 1 April and 31 August, deferring admission until compulsory school age would result in your child being
admitted into a different admission year and it is advisable to speak to the Local Authority if you are considering this
option.

Special Circumstances: The following groups of children will be given special consideration in their application for a

be presented at the time of application.
The appropriate designated Officer will consider each case on its merits and determine the allocation of any such
place on the basis of the written evidence. Admission under ‘special circumstances’ will take precedence over all but
the first of the numbered criteria. Children of nomadic Travellers will be allocated a place at their catchment area
school.

There is one over-riding criterion for admission, not based on over-subscription, which needs to be noted (and
over which the school has no discretion):
• Children who have a Statement of Special Educational Needs, in which Gamston School is named, must be
admitted to the school.
In the event of requests for places exceeding availability, places at the school will be allocated, by the governing
body according to the following criteria:
• Looked After children (A ‘Looked After’ child is a child who is in the care of a local authority or provided with
accommodation by that authority)*
• Parental commitment* to a mainstream Christian Church (as defined by the diocese) (commitment* by
parents/carers is defined as attendance at a Church of England Church or another Christian denomination for
at least a month over the last 6 months. This must be supported by a letter of evidence from the child’s
parents’/carers’ Parish Priest. The supporting statement must be to the satisfaction of the Parish Priest with
responsibility for Gamston)
• Relationship as brother or sister (‘sibling’) to a pupil already attending the school (by “sibling” we mean: sister,
brother, twin, step-sister or step-brother)
• Proximity of the child’s place of residence* to school (measured ‘as the crow flies’, from the pupil’s entrance
door of their main home to the main entrance door of the school).
* Consideration will be given to applicants who can establish medical, special educational or social needs, with
supporting evidence from a relevant professional. Each case will be judged on its merits and the admission
authority (The Governing Body) may accord a higher priority to the applicant.

Children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs that names St Anne’s Church of England (Aided) Primary
School will be admitted.
All applications will be considered and placed in a particular category - Category 1 will represent the Category of
children most likely to gain admission whereas Category 5 is least likely to gain admission if applicants exceed the
Published Admission Number (PAN) of 30.
The Governors will use the additional application form ‘Worksop St Anne’s Church of England (Aided) Primary School:
Application for Admission” when considering applications. This additional form asks for information that will enable
the Governors to determine whether the child is a Christian child and whether the parents worship regularly at St
Anne’s Parish Church or at another Christian Church. If the additional application form is not available, it may not be
possible to determine whether or not the child has been baptised or whether or not the parents worship regularly.
Category 1
Children who
a) are in Public Care (Looked After Children)
Category 2
Christian children* who
a) worship or whose parents worship regularly* at St Anne’s Parish Church
b) worship or whose parents worship regularly* at another Christian Church
c) have siblings* attending St Anne’s School at the time of admission

Oversubscription mechanism will be used. Beginning with the category in which applications first exceed the
Admissions Number, preference will be given to those who live closest to the school according to the distances
provided by Nottinghamshire LA. (The Governing Body has noted concerns raised by HM Government and believes
that this system allows for the widest socio-economic mix at St Anne’s School.)

start to the child’s educational career. The academic year is from 1 September to 31 August. Please contact the
Head Teacher if you wish to discuss your child’s specific admission arrangements. Priority will be given to all children
from the civil parishes of Gunthorpe or Caythorpe who apply for a place for their child at Gunthorpe C of E School

AAll children from the Parish of Lowdham with Caythorpe and from the Parishes of Oxton, Epperstone and

N.B. a) the Governors will not admit over this admission limit
b) where the pupil has a Statement of Special Educational Needs which names the school then the child will
be admitted.
Application for admission to the Reception Class for September should be received by the Headteacher by the date
given on the LA application form.
Should there be more than 30 applications then applicants will be considered by the Governors having regard to the
following criteria, in priority order, as listed below:
1. Where the pupil is a “Looked After Child” in the care of the Local Authority then high priority will be given to any
such child
2. Whether the child is resident within the catchment area
3. Whether the child, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister* attending the school
4. Whether the child attends organised religious worship linked to the Church of England i.e. being regular
worshippers (at least once per month) and/or are actively involved in the work of the Church and have been so for
a period of at least 12 months prior to the date of application.
5. Whether one or both parents* are practising members of the Church of England, i.e. being regular worshippers

6. As for 3 but in a C.T.E (Churches Together in England)*
7. Other applications from children who are outside the catchment area

will be measured ‘as the crow flies’ from the front door of the child’s home address to the main entrance door of the
school using Local Authority software.)
N.B. Regardless of the above criteria the Governors will, if there are any specific social, medical needs or
compassionate grounds why the child should attend this school in preference to another school, give consideration
to admitting such a child.

The Governing Body has adopted a fair, open and objective system for considering all requests for admission.
Applications for children with disabilities are treated no differently from any other. The school has a disabled toilet
facility. A child who has a statement of educational needs which names the school or is ‘looked after’ (child in care
of a Local Authority) will be admitted. When there is an over-subscription for the places available the following
criteria will be applied in the priority order given. A looked after child has the highest priority in the event of over
subscription.
A. Whether a child has a sibling attending the school on the date of admission of the child (a sibling is a brother
or sister who share the same parent, a half brother or sister who share one common parent, a step brother or
step sister where two children are related by a parents marriage, and adopted or fostered children living in the
same household under a residence order).
121
B. Whether the child or parent/carer is a regular twice monthly worshipper at a Church of England church for at
least the previous twelve months.
C. Whether the child or parent/carer is a regular twice monthly worshipper at any members of Churches Together in
England for at least the previous twelve months.
D. Whether a child whose particular medical needs, mobility support needs, special educational needs or social
circumstances has written evidence from a doctor, social worker or other relevant professional stating that the
school is the only school which could cater for the child’s particular needs. The evidence must be presented with
the application.
In each category, a child living nearest the school will be given priority. Distances will be measured in a straight line
from the child’s home address to the main entrance of the school (using the Local Authority software).
A parent, carer or adult responsible for a looked after child is the person having the legal responsibility for the
bringing up of the child.
Supporting references for applications in category D will be required from the appropriate professional person.
Guidelines for a Minister’s Verification

Applications on denominational grounds (Criteria B and C) must be supported by the supplementary form completed
by the parent(s) with verification from a minister of religion that the child and parent(s) have practised their faith by
worship at least twice per calendar month at the Ministers place of worship for at least the past year.
The school governing body is consulting on their proposal to provide 11 Early Years places at the school from January
2012 at the time of going to print. This would change the school range to 3-11 years.

1. Children looked after by the local authority.
2. Children whose parents have a commitment to All Saints Church, Cotgrave or any other church which is a
member of Churches Together in England/Council for Churches for Britain and Ireland and/or The Evangelical
Alliance (for this criterion governors will seek written confirmation of that statement from the appropriate Minister
of Religion)
3. Children whose parents are seeking a Christian environment for their child’s education.
4. Any other children.
Special Circumstances - The following groups of children will be given special consideration in their application to
the school:
circumstances are supported by written evidence from a doctor, social worker or other relevant professional stating
that the school is the only school which could cater for the child’s particular needs. The evidence must be
presented at the time of application.
• Children with a statement of Special Education Needs which names Cotgrave Church of England Primary School
will be allocated a place.
Additional Information
• Within Criterion 2, governors will differentiate priority according to whether the family are: ‘at the heart of the
church’ (worshipping usually at least twice per month); ‘attached to the church’ (worshipping usually monthly or
involved in regular weekday church activities which include an element of worship); or ‘known to the church’
(worshipping occasionally, known through a family connection or involved in regular weekday church activity which
does not include an element of worship)
• Within Criteria 2, 3 and 4, governors will give priority to children who have a sibling (as defined by the Local
Authority) attending the school at the time of admission.
• Within Criterion 3 we warmly welcome children from families of other faiths or of no faith at all who wish their
child(ren) to be educated within a school with a religious character.
In the event of oversubscription within any criterion, and after priority has been given to siblings, preference will be
given to children who live nearest to the school as the crow flies. The distance will be measured in a straight line
from the front door of the child’s home address to the main entrance of the school using the Local Authority’s
computerised measuring system with those living closer to the school receiving the higher priority.

Admission criteria 2012/2013.

1. Children in public care
1.1 Places will be allocated to any Relevant Looked After Child (as described in Section 22 of the Children Act 1989)

2. Community places (at least 80% of the total places available in any admission year)
2.1 Places will be allocated to applicants who at the time of admission will have a brother or sister* attending the
school
2.2 Places will then be given to other applicants
3. Foundation places (no more than 20% of the total places available in any admission year)
For each of the following criteria preference will be given to those applicants who have expressed a wish for
Church School education and who can demonstrate a commitment to this. Parents will explain their commitment
by completing extra questions on a supplementary application form. Parent(s) and child(ren) must have attended
a place of worship, within Churches Together in England or the Evangelical Alliance, at least monthly on average
over the past two years, in order to be considered for a Foundation Place. Additional preference will be given to
those who also attended other activities outside of Sunday services during the last two years. A reference will be
sought from the family’s church minister to confirm their frequency of attendance.
131
3.1 Places will be allocated to applicants who at the time of admission will have a brother or sister* attending the
school
3.2 Places will then be given to other applicants
* The term ‘brother or sister’ includes all children normally resident in the same household who are regarded as
members of the same family
The following groups of children will be given special consideration in their application for a place at the school;
• Children who have a statement of special educational needs in which this school is named will be admitted.
This will reduce the number of places available to other applicants.
• Children who have other particular medical needs, mobility support needs, special educational needs or social
circumstances which are supported by written evidence from a doctor, social worker, or other relevant
professionals at the time of application. The definition of special educational need will relate to a learning
difficulty which calls for special educational provision to be made for the child. Each case will be determined on
its own merits. Taking account of the special circumstances the Governors may accord a higher priority to the
applicant with regard to any or all of the above criteria.

Children for whom Arnold Hill is the named school in a statement of special educational needs will automatically be
allocated a place, providing the school can meet the specific needs. The Governing Body cannot guarantee a place
at the school for any other category of application.
Arnold Hill is a very popular school and we cannot always accommodate all the children who apply. If the school is
oversubscribed, the following criteria will be used to determine the allocation of places:
1. Children in public care who are ‘looked after’ at the time an application for admission is made and who the
local authority can confirm will still be looked after at the time of admission to the school
2. Children with a statement of special education need that names Arnold Hill School
Subsequently, where the number of applications for admission exceeds the number of places available, the following
criteria will be applied in the order set out below, to decide which children to admit:
1. Children who live in the catchment area on the closing date for applications as part of the co-ordinated
admissions scheme in the year preceding admission to secondary school
2. Children who attend the Arnold Hill Family of Schools: Arno Vale Junior; Arnold View; Arnbrook; Coppice Farm;
Ernehale; Mapperley Plains; who were on the roll of, and in regular attendance at, one of those schools on the
last day of the Summer Term of Year 5 preceding their intended admission to Arnold Hill and intend to remain
on the roll of that school until the end of Year 6
3. Children who live outside the catchment area and who have been on the pupil roll of a linked primary phase
school for 12 months preceding the closing date for applications as part of the co-ordinated admissions scheme
in the year preceding admission to secondary school
Proximity to school
In the event of an over-subscription of any of the above criteria proximity to the school will be used with those living
nearer being given priority. Distance measurements to be made ‘as the crow flies’ from the front gate of the pupil’s
registered home address to the reception office of the main school.
Special consideration will be given to:
1. Children with an exceptional level of need with regard to a physical disability provided written evidence form a
registered health professional such as a doctor is received at the time of application. The school has poor
access for students with a physical disability however we form part of the local authority’s strategic plan to
improve access for a child with physical disability
2. Children of nomadic travellers that live within the catchment area will be given special consideration
3. Requests from the local area pupil placement panel for ‘hard to place children’ will be given special
consideration
The governors of the school will consider each application on its merits in consultation with the local authority.
Cases agreed under ‘special circumstances’ will take precedence over all of the numbered criteria.
138
The admission number for the Post-16 centre will be 200, of which we anticipate the minimum number of applications
to Year 12 from outside the school will be 30.
Arnold Hill School Post-16 presently offers A levels and a range of vocational courses. Subsequently, we propose the
following admissions criteria:
• 5 GCSEs at Grades A* - C.
• A minimum of Grade C in a related GCSE for academic level 3 courses.
• A minimum of Grade C (or equivalent) in a relevant subject for Applied courses.
These requirements do not include English oral grades or GCSE half course grades.
There will be no upper limit for applications to year 12 from outside the school. A meeting will be held to advise and
clarify entrance requirements for particular courses.
Over-subscription for the Post 16 centre
Where the number of applications for admission exceeds the number of places available, the following criteria will be
applied in the order set out below, to decide which children to admit:
1 Children in public care who are ‘looked after’ at the time an application for admission is made and who the local
authority can confirm will still be looked after at the time of admission to the school
2 Children who already attend the school and meet the entry criteria
3 In the event of an over-subscription of the above criteria and for all other applications, proximity to the school will
be used with those living nearer being given priority. Distance measurements to be made ‘as crow flies’ from the
home address to the main reception of the school
Where applications are received in respect of twins, triplets or children of other multiple births, Arnold Hill School will
endeavour to offer/places at the school admitting above the planned admission number where necessary. If this is not
possible, the parent/carer will be asked which child(ren) should take up the place(s). The parent/carer will still have a
right of appeal against a refusal of a place.

indicate that this low grade is exceptional and abnormal and where, on this basis, the Curriculum Leader
recommends that the student be admitted to Year 12, the predicted grade will be accepted for this one subject
only.
At the end of Year 12 students will normally be allowed to proceed to A2 only in those subjects in which they
have attained at least a grade D at AS level.

of The Becket School “as the crow flies” will be used, preference being given to the shortest distance.
Right of Appeal – A formal appeal procedure is available in accordance with the provision of the School
Standards and Framework Act 1998. If you wish to appeal against the decision (parents and students are able to
appeal jointly or separately) you should inform the school in writing, within 10 days of receiving your refusal of a

provided at the time of application, together with details of the particular reasons why it is considered that
Carlton le Willows is the most suitable school and the difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend
another school. Each case will be considered on its merits and the Governing Body may seek any independent

places will be given on the basis of the above criteria. The child’s place on the waiting list may go up or down
depending on whether places become available or if late or mid-term applications are received. The Governors of
the school, in partnership with the Local Authority, will administer the waiting list for the duration of the co-ordinated
admissions scheme. Once the co-ordinated scheme is closed, the waiting list will remain open but will be
administered by the Governors of the school for one year. All applications for places in the normal year of entry are
made on the common application form together with a supplementary form which is available from the school
and is contained within the prospectus.
Measuring distance ‘as the crow flies’

Admission to the Sixth Form including admission number for those admitted for the first time.
To be accepted on to Level 3 courses, pupils will need five or more GCSE passes at Grade C or above (or equivalent)
and be able to provide evidence that they are able to complete any necessary coursework and meet deadlines. For
certain subjects, a GCSE Grade B is required. (See Sixth Form Prospectus.) The school does not currently actively
recruit into its Sixth Form. Applications are handled in the same way as other applications outside the normal year of
entry. Any applicant refused entry can appeal against the decision. Should oversubscription criteria be required, they
will be as for Year 7, with the exception of Criteria 5 & 7.

School at the time of admission. Where applications are received in respect of twins, triplets or children of
other multiple births we will endeavour to offer the relevant number of places admitting above the planned
admission number where appropriate.
4. Remaining places will be allocated on proximity to the school measured ‘as the crow flies’ from the entrance
to the child’s home to the principal entrance of the main administrative building of the school.
Special circumstances Special consideration will be given to children with an exceptional level of need with regard
to a physical or medical disability provided written evidence from a registered health professional such as a doctor,
is received at the time of application. We are a pathways school and have good access for students with physical
disabilities. Requests from the local area pupil placement panel for ‘hard to place children’ will be given special
consideration. The governors of the school will consider each application on its merits in consultation with the local
authority. Cases agreed under ‘special circumstances’ will take precedence over all of the numbered criteria.
Sixth Form Admissions
The admission number for year 12 entry into the sixth form is 150. Admissions into the Sixth Form will be
allocated to those who have applied by the closing date taking regard to the following factors set out in order of
priority:
1. Students in public care who are ‘looked after’ at the time an application for admission is made and who the
local authority confirm will still be ‘looked after’ at the time of admission to school.
2. Pupils transferring from within Chilwell School who meet the school’s minimum entry requirements; such
students are guaranteed a place irrespective of numbers.
3. Pupils transferring from other schools who meet the school’s minimum entry requirements (At least 20 places
will be available for pupils transferring from other schools.).
In the event of there being more applicants than places available in 3 above, the deciding factors will be, in order
of priority:
(i) Whether there is a brother or sister on Chilwell School roll at the time of entry to the Sixth Form. Where
applications are received in respect of twins, triplets or children of other multiple births we will endeavour to
offer the relevant number of places admitting above the planned admission number where appropriate.
(ii) Pupils who live nearest to the school ‘as the crow flies’ with distances measured from the entrance to the
pupil’s home to the principal entrance of the main administrative building of the school. In the event of the
two distances being exactly equal resulting in the PAN being exceeded then random allocation by lot will be
conducted by a body of Chilwell School

Children for whom George Spencer is the named school in a statement of special educational needs will
automatically be allocated a place. The Governing Body cannot guarantee a place at the school for any other
category of application.
147
George Spencer is a very popular school and we cannot always accommodate all the children who apply. The
following criteria will be used to determine the allocation of places for applications made as part of the national co
ordinated scheme for admissions:
1. Children in public care who are “looked after” at the time of application and will continue to be so at the time
admission, as confirmed by the local authority.
2. Applicants who can establish exceptional medical or special educational needs (i.e. a learning or behavioural
difficulty, which calls for special educational provision) relating to their child. Supporting written evidence from a
doctor and/or from other relevant professional agencies must be provided at the time of application. Each case
will be determined on its merits.
3. Children who attend the George Spencer Family of Schools: Fairfield School Stapleford, Chetwynd Road or
Bispham Drive Schools in Toton, who were on the roll of one of those schools at the time of the initial application.
4. Children not attending the George Spencer Family of Schools who have a sibling attending George Spencer
School at the time of admission.
5. Remaining places will be allocated according to proximity to the school with those living nearer being given
priority. Distance is measured “as the crow flies” from the centre of the school footbridge to the child’s
permanent home address.
In the event of oversubscription in any of the above criteria, proximity to the school will be used as a tie-breaker.
Proof of residence may be required.
ADMISSION TO GEORGE SPENCER SIXTH FORM COLLEGE INCLUDING THE ADMISSION NUMBER FOR
THOSE ADMITTED FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR SEPTEMBER 2012
The maximum admission number for the George Spencer Academy will be 150. We anticipate a minimum of 15
places will be available for external students entering Year 12.
George Spencer Academy offers mainly “A” level and some vocational courses. Our policy is to ensure that students
accepted into George Spencer Academy whether internally from Year 11 or from other establishments can be placed
on appropriate courses where they are likely to succeed. To facilitate this all applicants will have a meeting with a
college member of staff to discuss the most suitable courses of study.
Those seeking admission to George Spencer Academy will be expected to have:
• a minimum of 5 A*-C including English and Mathematics GCSE at grade C or above;
• an average capped point score in their GCSE studies of at least 42;
• a high GCSE grade, preferably a B grade or above, in each of the preferred choice subjects.
Acceptance onto certain courses will depend on a combination of appropriate Level 2 qualifications.
Meeting the requirements of any course does not automatically guarantee that applicants will be offered places on
the preferred choices.
Oversubscription
Where the number of applications for admission exceeds the number of places, the following criteria will be applied
in the order set out below, to decide which students to admit.
• Students in care who meet the academic entry criteria
• Students who already attend the school and meet the academic entry criteria
• Proximity to the school with those living nearest the school being given priority. Distance is measured “as the
crow flies” from the centre of the school footbridge to the child’s permanent home address.

Following a re-evaluation of the school’s net capacity by the local authority as a result of accommodation changes,
the admission number for Year 7 in September, 2011 is 208. In view of this change in circumstances, the Governors
will consider any application above this number in any year group to satisfy themselves that further admission does
not prejudice the provision of efficient education or the efficient use of resources.
Children for whom The Joseph Whitaker School is the named school in a statement of special educational need will
be automatically offered a place at the school. The Governing Body of the school cannot guarantee a place at the
school for any other category of application. If the school is oversubscribed, the following criteria will be used to
determine the allocation of places. In the event of over subscription in any of the categories, other than category 2,
proximity to the school measured “as the crow flies” from the entrance of the child’s home to the principal entrance
of the main administrative building of the school will be used as the determining factor.
1. Children in public care who are “looked after” at the time an application for admission is made and who the
local authority confirm will still be “looked after” at the time of admission to school. The Governors require
submission of the legal documentation which provides evidence that the child is “looked after” as defined by the
Act at the time of application
2. Up to 21 places will be allocated to pupils who, at the closing date for applications, can show an aptitude for
sport, including dance, and whose parents have requested a place at the school. Places will be allocated to those
achieving the highest scores following the completion of an appropriate trial or audition process as published in
the school’s prospectus.
3. Applicants who can establish exceptional medical or social grounds (e.g. a learning, behavioural or mobility
difficulty which calls for special educational provision) or humanitarian grounds within the requirements of the
Human Rights Act, 1998 relating to the child or to the circumstances of the family. Supporting written evidence
from a doctor and/or other relevant professional agencies must be provided to the school at the time of application,
together with details of the particular reasons why it is considered The Joseph Whitaker School is the most suitable
school and the difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend another school. Each case will be
considered on its merits and the Governing Body may seek any independent specialist advice deemed necessary.
4. Children who attend the Joseph Whitaker Family of Schools (Abbey Gates Primary School, Lake View Primary,
Blidworth Oaks Primary School, Python Hill Primary School and Ravenshead C of E Primary School)
who were on the roll of and regular attenders at one of these schools on the last day of the summer term
of Year 5 preceding the intended admission to The Joseph Whitaker School and intend to remain
on the roll of that school until the end of Year 6. Within this category first priority will be given to those who
already have a brother or sister attending The Joseph Whitaker School.
5. Children not attending the Joseph Whitaker Family of Schools who have a brother or sister attending The Joseph
Whitaker School.
6. Remaining places will be allocated on proximity to the school measured „as the crow flies from the entrance to
the child’s home to the principle entrance of the main administrative building of the school. Note; where the final
remaining place requires decision between children of a multiple birth, both or all of the children will be admitted.

As required by the regulations of 2005, children for whom The Kimberley School is the named school in a statement
of special educational need will be automatically offered a place at the school. The Governing Body of the school
cannot guarantee a place at the school for any other category of application.
If the school is oversubscribed, the following criteria will be used to determine allocation of places. In the event of
oversubscription in any of the categories, proximity to the school measured ‘as the crow flies’ from the entrance of
the child’s home to the principal entrance of the main administrative building of the school will be used as the
determining factor.
Local Authority confirm will still be ‘looked after’ at the time of admission to school as also required by the
regulations of 2005.
2. Children who attend The Kimberley Family of Schools who were on the role at the time of application and who
were still on roll on the closing date for applications. Within this category first priority will be given to those who

Kimberley School at the time of admission.
4. Remaining places will be allocated on proximity to the school measured ‘as the crow flies’ from the entrance to
the child’s home to the principal entrance of the main administrative building of the school.
NB. Applicants who establish exceptional medical or special educational needs (i.e. a learning or behavioural
difficulty which calls for special educational provision) relating to the child. Supporting written evidence from a doctor
and/or other relevant professional agencies must be provided at the time of application. This should be
accompanied by full supporting evidence setting out the particular reasons why it is considered that The Kimberley
School is the most suitable school and outlining the difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend
another school. The Governing Body will seek to assess the evidence presented objectively and may seek any
independent specialist advice deemed necessary.
Each case will be considered on its merits and the Governors will seek to ensure that where there is a prior need for
potential support or for reasonable adjustment to be made in admitting a child with special educational needs or
disabilities, these will be addressed as quickly as is practical so that the child can be placed quickly.
Admissions into the Sixth Form will be allocated to those who have applied, taking regard to the following factors set
out in order of priority:
1. Children in care will be given the highest priority in our over-subscription criteria for entry to the sixth form
2. Pupils transferring from within The Kimberley School who meet the school’s minimum entry requirements;
such students are guaranteed a place irrespective of numbers.
3. Pupils transferring from other schools who meet the school’s minimum entry requirements (up to a total
maximum number of students in Year 12 and Year 13 of 300) (At least 20 places will be available for
pupils transferring from other schools)
4. Courses are offered subject to viability at the time of curriculum planning
151
In the event of there being more applicants than places available in 2 above, the deciding factors will be, in
order of priority:
(i) Whether there is a brother or sister on The Kimberley School roll at the time of entry to the Sixth Form
(ii) Pupils who live nearest to the school ‘as the crow flies’ with distances measured from the entrance to the
pupil’s home to the principal entrance of the main administrative building of the school.

The following groups of children will be given special consideration:
• Students who have a Statement of Special Educational Needs where The Minster School is named in the child’s
Statement will be admitted
• Children in public care (as defined by Section 22 of the Children’s Act 1989) at the time of entry to the school
will be admitted
circumstances are supported by written evidence from a doctor, social worker or other relevant professional at
the time of application, and where it can be demonstrated that the Minster School can meet these needs more
effectively than other schools. The Governing Body will, in consultation with the Head, consider each case on its
merits and determine the allocation of any such places.
Cases agreed under ‘special circumstances’ will take precedence over Criteria “a”, “b” and “c”. Aptitude is not
considered to be a Special Circumstance.
FOUNDATION PLACES
Up to 70 FOUNDATION PLACES: to be allocated in order of priority to those who have applied by the closing date,
the Governors having regard to the following factors set out in order of priority:
(i) Students transferring from the Minster School Junior Department (who will automatically transfer into Y7),
(excluding students who withdraw from the Choir, and will no longer be guaranteed a place in Year 7, in
such cases parents must apply through the normal process for entry into Year 7)
*(ii) Whether either parent and/or child currently worships at least monthly at a Church of England Church as a
communicant and for how long.
*(iii) Whether either parent and/or child currently worships at least monthly at a Church of England Church and for
how long, but who are not communicants.
In the event of there being more applicants than places available for Foundation applicants, the deciding factors will
be whether there is a brother or sister on the school roll at the time of entry to the school and then, if a further
distinction is needed, the straight line distance from home to the school reception as measured by the Local
Authority using computer software.
In the event of fewer than 70 Foundation places being awarded, the balance of the 70 places will become available
to applicants in the remaining criteria, using the existing priorities for awarding places.
* Applicants for Foundation Places under these criteria are advised that the school will request information, via the
parents, from their Minister of Religion. Please contact the school if you require further guidance on this or any
other issue.
(b) CATCHMENT PLACES: for children who live in the following civil parishes:
Bleasby Halam Kirklington Normanton
Goverton Hockerton Morton Southwell
Maplebeck Rolleston Farnsfield Edingley
154
Thurgarton Caunton Fiskerton Halloughton
Winkburn Upton
NB It is residence in the listed civil parishes which is relevant, not the Primary School attended.
In the event of there being more applicants than places available for Catchment applicants, the deciding factors will
be whether there is a brother or sister on the school roll at the time of entry to the school and the, if a further
distinction is needed, the straight line distance from home to the school reception.
(c) PARENTAL PREFERENCES

If, having awarded places to all valid applicants for Foundation and Catchment places, the number of places
awarded is below 240, Governors will consider applications from parents where the application does not come under
category (a) or (b).
In the event of there being more Parental Preference applicants Governors will have regard to the following factors

determine which applications will be granted after places have been first allocated to children with statements in
which the school is named. Unusual or casual admissions to the school (including traveller children of gypsy or
Romany families) outside of the normal round are dealt with by the headteacher where places exist.
1. Looked After Children
2. Children who are attending the Hucknall National C of E Primary School and Linby-cum-Papplewick C of E

5. Remaining places will be allocated to children who live nearest to the school, measured as the crow flies
In the event of over-subscription within any criterion, preference will be given to children who live nearest to the
school as the crow flies. Distances are measured, using the County Council’s software, from the entrance to the
child’s home to the main school ‘IN’ gate.
Pupils who have a statement of special educational need, where this school is named in the child’s statement will be
admitted. In this event, the number of places that remain available for allocation will be reduced.
Consideration will be given to applicants who can establish particular medical, special educational need, disability
needs or social grounds relating to their child. Supporting written evidence from a doctor, social worker or other
relevant professionals must be provided at the time of application.
Special circumstances may take precedence over the numbered criteria set out above.

Admission to the Sixth Form

Admission to the Sixth Form is open to all applicants meeting the admission criteria and is not restricted to students
from the National School. Subject criteria will be outlined each year in the subject prospectus.
Students can apply to be admitted either to the two year course or the one year course.
Students who apply for the two year course will be expected to follow, as a minimum, a four AS level / three A-level
combination of subjects. The minimum entry requirement for this course is 3 B grades and 2 C grades at GCSE in
relevant subjects. It is expected that students will have achieved a B grade in the subjects that they wish to complete
over the course of two years.
Students who apply for the one year course leading to AS levels will require a minimum of 1 B grade and 4 C grades
at GCSE in relevant subjects. Transfer to Year 13 and A2 level courses will be dependent upon satisfactory
completion of the one year course as indicated by AS results and at the discretion of the subject leader and 14-19
Curriculum Manager.
For vocational courses the minimum entry requirement will be 5 C grades at GCSE.
Students who fail to meet the minimum entry requirements for either the two year course or the one year course will
have their application considered on an individual basis.
It is anticipated that the sixth form capacity will be 150 students per year group with provision for a maximum of 30
external students
Oversubscription criteria for students who meet the minimum entrance requirements are as follows:
a) Looked after children
b) Children who have worshiped at a Church of England Church at least once a month for the previous 12 months.
c) Children who have worshipped at any Christian Church which is a member of Churches Together in England at
least once a month for the previous 12 months.
d) Children who have worshipped at a place of worship of another recognised world faith at least once a month for
the previous 12 months.
Students who apply for admission to the National Sixth Form are invited to discuss their application with a senior
member of staff. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss proposed subject combinations and possible career
implications. Offers of places to the National Sixth Form are made by the governing body

ADMISSION POLICY 2012/2013

Children for whom Quarrydale Foundation School is the named school in a statement of special education need
will be automatically offered a place at the school. The Governing Body of the school cannot guarantee a place at
the school for any other category of application.

Where the number of applicants for admission exceeds the number of places available, the following criteria will be
1 Children in public care as defined by section 22 of the Children’s Act, 1989.
2 Applicants who can establish exceptional medical, social or humanitarian grounds (e.g. a learning, behavioural
or mobility difficulty which calls for special educational provision) relating to the child or to the circumstances of
the family. Supporting written evidence from a doctor and/or other relevant professional agencies must be
provided at the time of application, together with details of the particular reasons why it is considered that
Quarrydale is the most suitable school and the difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend
another school. Each case will be considered on its merits and the Governing Body may seek any independent
specialist advice deemed necessary.
3 Children who live in the catchment area and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister
4 Other children who live in the catchment area.

7 Children who live outside the catchment area but who are attending a linked primary phase school on the

Note: If applications exceed the number of places available, the school will operate a waiting list in which priority
for places will be given on the basis of the above criteria. The child’s place on the waiting list may go up or down
depending on whether places become available or if late or mid-term applications are received. The Governors of
the school, in partnership with the Local Authority, will administer the waiting list for the duration of the co
ordinated admissions scheme. Once the co-ordinated scheme is closed, the waiting list will remain open but will
be administered by the Governors of the school for one year. All applications for places in the normal year of entry
are made on the common application form.
Measuring distance “as the crow flies”
In the event of over-subscription with any criterion, preference will be given to children who live nearest to the
school as the crow flies. Distances are measured from the entrance to the child’s home to the principal entrance
to the main administrative building of the school by the Local Authority which currently uses the ‘Arcview’ system.
Admission to the Sixth Form including admission number for those admitted for the first time
To be accepted on to Level 3 courses, pupils will need five or more GCSE passes at Grade C or above (or
equivalent) and be able to provide evidence that they are able to complete any necessary coursework and meet
deadlines. For certain subjects, a GCSE Grade B is required. (See Sixth Form Prospectus.) The school does not
currently actively recruit into its Sixth Form. Applications are handled in the same way as other applications outside
the normal year of entry. Any applicant refused entry can appeal against the decision. Should oversubscription
criteria be required, they will be as for Year 7, with the exception of Criteria 5 and 7.

Children in public care who are ‘looked after’ at the time an application for admission is made and who the local
authority can confirm will still be looked after at the time of admission to the school.
Children with a statement of special education needs that names the West Bridgford School will be admitted.
Subsequently, where the number of applications for admission exceeds the number of places available, the following
criteria will be applied in the order set out below, to decide which children to admit:
1.0 Children who live in the catchment area on the closing date for applications as part of the co-ordinated
admissions scheme in the year preceding admission to secondary school.
Places will be allocated in the first instance to children, who at the time of admission, will have a brother or
sister attending the school in years 7-11.
2.0 For children outside the catchment area up to 22 (10%) of places will be offered to those who can demonstrate
an aptitude for Technology and could therefore benefit from the distinctive education offered by the West
Bridgford School as a specialist technology school.
The parents of those students whose entry is to be based on technological aptitude will be required to present
their child for the Assessment (one hour) at The West Bridgford School in the year preceding entry, details of
which will be published within the school’s prospectus.
3.0 Children who live outside the catchment area and who are attending a linked primary phase school on (date to
be confirmed) preceding admission to secondary school. The linked primary schools are Greythorn, Heymann,
Jesse Gray and West Bridgford Junior.
4.0 Other children who live outside the catchment area.
Proximity to school
In the event of an over-subscription of any of the above criteria proximity to the school will be used with those living
nearer being given priority. Distance measurements to be made ‘as the crow flies’ from the home address to the
main reception office of the school.
Special circumstances
Special consideration will be given to children with an exceptional level of need with regard to a physical disability
provided written evidence from a registered health professional such as a doctor, is received at the time of
application. The school has good access for students with a physical disability and we form part of the local
authority’s strategic plan to improve access for child with physical disability.
Children of nomadic travellers that live within the catchment area will be given special consideration.
Requests from the local area pupil placement panel for ‘hard to place children’ will be given special consideration.
The governors of the school will consider each application on its merits in consultation with the local
authority. Cases agreed under ‘special circumstances’ will take precedence over all of the numbered criteria.
Technological Aptitude Assessment

Parents who wish to seek a place for the child at the school based upon technological aptitude are asked to present
their child for the assessment on the following dates:
• Saturday, 8 October 2011 (provisional)
• Monday, 10 October 2011 (provisional)
• Saturday, 15 October 2011 (provisional)
Arrival time for each day will be 8.45 am. The assessment will start at 9.00 am
Parents who wish their child to take the assessment should request, complete and return an assessment application
form, which is available from the school, 7 days before the assessment. Further information regarding the
assessment will then be provided. Please note, sitting the assessment is not considered an application in itself.
Results of the assessment will be provided before parents have to complete the CAF (Common Application Form).
The admission number for the Post-16 centre will be 170.
The West Bridgford School Post-16 centre presently only offers ‘A’ level courses. Subsequently we propose the
following admissions criteria:
3 AS level subjects plus General Studies - 3 GCSEs at grade B or above in subjects to be studied plus a further 2 or
more GCSEs at grade C or above.
4 AS level subjects plus Genera Studies - 2 GCSEs at grade A/A* and 2 at grade B (or higher) in the subjects to be
studied plus 1 or more GCSEs at grade C or above.
These requirements do not include English oral grades or GCSE half course grades.
Students will only be considered if they have achieved a minimum of grade C at GCSE level in both English and
Mathematics.
167
The maximum number of places from external candidates for Post-16 entry in year 12 will be 25.
Over-subscription for the Post-16 centre
1.0 Children in public care who are ‘looked after’ at the time an application for admission is made and who the
2.0 Children who already attend the school and meet the entry criteria.
3.0 In the event of an over-subscription of the above criteria proximity to the school will be used with those living
nearer being given priority. Distance measurements to be made ‘as the crow flies’ from the home address to
the main reception office of the school.

LISTENING TO YOU
We hope you are happy with the education your child receives.
Please talk to us if you have any problems or comments. You
can get information about how to complain from our website
www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk.
If, however, you are not happy with the way you are treated or
the way that your comments are dealt with, you have the right
to complain and to know that your complaint is being handled
correctly.
COMPLAINTS ABOUT SCHOOLS

Each school is generally responsible for considering its own
complaints. If you have a complaint about a school, you should
first discuss it with the head teacher. If you are not satisfied with
the head teacher’s response, or if your complaint is about the
head teacher, then you should ask the school governing body to
consider your complaint.
OTHER COMPLAINTS
If your complaint is about Nottinghamshire Local Authority or the
actions of our staff, there is a separate complaints procedure.
This procedure is set out in our leaflet ‘Listening to you’. You can
get copies from libraries or any County Council office.
You are entitled to complain to the Local Government

Ombudsman if you think we have managed anything
inefficiently or badly. However, the Ombudsman would normally
expect you to have followed our complaints procedure before
considering your complaint.
DISCLAIMER
Nottinghamshire County Council is committed to the highest
standards of quality of information and makes every effort to
ensure that information is accurate. All information contained
in this publication was correct at the time of printing but may
be subject to amendment at a later date.
