6. Children living outside the Church Parish of Milford On Sea who will have a sibling attending the school at the time of application. 7. Children living outside the Church Parish of Milford On Sea whose families are involved in the worship and work of a church who is a member of ‘Churches Together’***, and wish their children to attend a school with a Christian ethos. A letter of confirmation of attendance from the Minister of their church will be required. 8. Children who live outside the Church Parish of Milford On Sea who live closest to the school based on the measurement of a straight line from the front door of the home to the pedestrian school gate ( or in the case of multi occupancy dwelling, the flat door rather than the communal entrance to the building). If the school is oversubscribed from within any of the above categories, the distance criterion as stated above will be used to prioritise applications. The planned admission number for 2012 is 45. Application The local authority will consider all applications for a Reception place, received on the correct form at the school by the 15 th January 2012, or applied online by midnight by 16 th January 2012 and will post confirmed decisions to parents on Thursday 19 th April 2012. If you are due to move house, you will be asked to produce a solicitor’s letter or equivalent evidence. If you are told that your child can start at Milford CE Primary School, then you will be sent more information and you will be invited to visit the school prior to your child starting. Multiple births If the last pupil to be offered a place within the school’s published admission number (PAN) is a multiple birth or same cohort sibling, any further same cohort sibling will be admitted, if the parents so wish, even though this may raise the intake number above the school’s PAN. The PAN will remain unchanged so that no other pupil will be admitted until a place becomes available within the PAN. Pupils with statements of special educational needs The governing body will admit any pupil whose final statement of special educational needs names the school. This is not an oversubscription criterion. Where possible such children will be admitted within the PAN. In-Year Fair Access placements by the local authority The local authority will ensure that all pupils are placed in schools as quickly as possible. It may therefore sometimes be necessary for a pupil to be placed by the local authority, or a local placement panel acting on behalf of the authority, in a particular school even if there is a waiting list for admission. Such placements will be made in accordance with the provisions of any protocol approved by the Admission Forum, based on legislation and government guidance. If an admission through Fair Access raises the number on roll above the PAN, no further pupil will be admitted from the waiting list until a place becomes available within the PAN.
Starting school Pupils reach statutory school age at the beginning of the term following their fifth birthday, but, in <strong>Hampshire</strong>, most pupils are admitted as rising fives. Parents can request that the date their child is admitted is deferred until later in the year or until the child reaches compulsory school age. Pupils will normally be admitted at the start of a school term. Parents can request that their child attends part-time until the child reaches compulsory school age. Parents of children requiring a Year R place, including those accessing co-located nursery provision, must make an application. If parents of summer born rising fives wish to defer their admission until they reach statutory school age, admission will be considered for Year 1, their appropriate year group. Admission Appeals If you are unsuccessful in gaining a place for your child at this school, you will be informed in writing, be given the reasons and informed of your right to appeal against the decision. Further information and forms for appealing against the decision will be sent to parents but we would also encourage you to talk with the head teacher about this or you could also arrange to see a member of the Governor Admissions Committee if you wish. Waiting Lists When all available places have been allocated, the school will operate a waiting list. Parents who wish their child to be included on the waiting list must inform the school in writing. Any places that become available will be allocated according to the criteria of admission policy with no account being taken of the length of time on the waiting list or any priority order expressed as part of the main admission round. The waiting list will be reviewed and revised – ‣ Each time a child is added to, or removed from, the waiting list ‣ When a child’s changed circumstances will affect their priority ‣ At the end of each school year, when parents with a child on the waiting list will be contacted and asked if they wish to remain on the list for the following school year. Parents may keep their child’s name on the waiting list of as many schools as they wish and for as long as they wish. Legislation This policy takes account of all relevant legislation including the legislation on sex discrimination, race relations, and disability, together with all relevant regulations and the School Admissions Code (DfE 2010).
