Archbishop Tenison’s School Archbishop Tenison’s School Kennington Oval London SE11 5SR Headmistress Mrs Elizabeth Sims MA Registrar Mrs L Arnold We also strongly recommend that you visit the school on one of our open days, before making an application, to see the school at work and to ask any questions that would assist you in making your choice of school. Tenison’s is a successful school where visitors comment on the calm, purposeful atmosphere. We endeavour to ensure that students develop into caring, welleducated, motivated, successful young people, equipped to face the challenges of the future. Range of Ability As a voluntary-aided, Church of England, comprehensive school, we offer places across the full range of academic achievement and potential. To secure an effective balance of ability across each intake and throughout the school, all applicants will be required to take a series of standard tests at the school (on a stated day) in regard to literacy, numeracy, comprehension and intelligence (IQ). This is common practice with a number of schools in Lambeth. On the results of these tests, applicants will be placed in one of the following bands: above average, average, below average. For September 2013, places will be offered, as far as applications allow in the proportions 30:50:20 for the three bands. Over-Subscription Where applications for admission exceed the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied under the two types of places, Foundation and Open, in each ability band, in the order set out below, to decide which students to admit: Foundation: 70% of places will be allocated in this category. If the Foundation places are oversubscribed, length of regular church attendance of child and parents will be taken into account. 1 ‘Looked after’ children, namely those in the care of the council under Section 31 of the Children Act 1989. 2 Boys from worshipping Anglican families. 3 Boys from worshipping families of other Christian denominations. 4 Up to five places are initially reserved for boys from each of the parishes of St Martin-in-the-Fields and St James’s, Piccadilly. 16 SECTION 2 / SCHOOLS
