Llangrove CE Academy admission arrangements consultation 2018/19
Tuesday 8th November to Tuesday 20th December
We are now consulting on our 2018/19 school admission arrangements.
The school admission arrangements principally relate to the current over subscription criteria.
The schools criteria are:
If the school is oversubscribed, children with a statement of special educational needs or an education, health and care plan which names a particular school, will be allocated places, after which places will be allocated according to an agreed set of criteria, in strict order of priority.
Priority 1: Pupils with a Statement of Special Education Need which names  the school and those pupils in receipt of banded funding where the Local Authority, in consultation with the Governors, believes that the school is the most appropriate to meet the child’s needs.
Priority 2: Pupils in the ‘Looked After’ system and children who were looked after, but cease to be because they are adopted and where the approved agencies, in consultation with the Governors, agree that the school is the most appropriate to meet the child’s needs.
Priority 3: The school is the one designated for the area in which the child lives.
Priority 4: The presence of older brothers or sisters in the school at the time of admission.
Priority 5: Special medical or social needs of the pupil. Production of a medical certificate or other appropriate information is required.
Priority 6: Children of families who are active members of the Church of England or who are committed to the practice of the Christian religion.
Priority 7: The location of the home in relation to the school, i.e. children who live nearer to the school will be given priority if the preferences exceed the admission level.
Alternative options
There are other potential over subscription criteria that can be used, including:
Children of staff at the school
Llangrove CE Academy could consider giving priority to children of staff working at the school, in either or both of the following circumstances:
- a) Where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time of the admission application being made
- b) The member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage
Children eligible for pupil or service premium
Llangrove CE Academy may also give priority in their over subscription criteria to children who are eligible for the early years’ pupil premium or the service premium, with the eligible categories being clearly defined in the school admission arrangements. This could be under the following circumstances:
The child is in Leapgrogs Pre-School.
