Info

Dunraven School half or step brother or sister living at the same home address. It also includes an adopted or fostered child living at the same home address and dependent on the same primary carer. Medical and/or social reasons: applicants must provide at least two pieces of written evidence of professional support which should be submitted, with the supplementary information form, direct to the school before the closing date. Applications must set out the particular reasons why Dunraven School is the most suitable school and what difficulties would occur if the child had to go elsewhere. Any such applications will be considered objectively by the admissions committee of the school based on the evidence provided. Geography: proximity of the child’s home to the school, measured using the shortest walking route, lit by street lighting, from the front door of the home address (as identified by the mapping software) to the student entrance of Dunraven Lower School in Mount Nod Road, with those living nearest accorded the highest priority. For a full definition of all of the above criteria, please refer to the school’s admissions policy. In the eventuality of insufficient applicants for places in any band, unfilled places will be offered to the next band. Appeal arrangements Unsuccessful applicants will have the right to appeal against the decision to an Independent Admissions Appeals Panel established under the School Standards and Framework Act 1998. The school has established arrangements for appeal against non-admission which include an independent lay element. For further details, please contact the Admissions and Appeals Officer at the school. For further information and a prospectus please telephone 020 8677 2431 or see our website on www.dunraven.org.uk Sixth form – sharing excellence Dunraven has a thriving sixth form rated as ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted in 2009 “with major strengths including excellent relationships and very effective support systems”. We offer a sixth form experience which is challenging, varied, interesting and rewarding. As part of the South London Sixth (SL6) collaboration, our close links with Bishop Thomas Grant, The Elmgreen School, La Retraite and St Martin-in-the-Fields enable us to offer an extended range of subjects and enrichment activities. As the largest and most successful sixth form in Lambeth, SL6 has the scale needed to offer a very wide range of A-Level and vocational choices, without losing the friendly and supportive atmosphere of a smaller sixth form where students are known as individuals. For further information and a prospectus please see our website or contact the school. How to apply 1 Applications must be made using the Common Application Form from your home borough by 31 October 2012. However, we are encouraging applicants to submit their application no later than the 26 October 2012 (i.e. the Friday before half term), to allow it sufficient time for processing and checking. 2 In addition the Supplementary Information Form at the back of this booklet must be completed and sent directly to Dunraven School by Friday 26 October 2012 Open sessions Tuesday 18 September 2012 6.30–9pm (talks at 6.30pm, 7.15pm and 8pm) Thursday 20 September 2012 9.15–10.30am (talk at 10.30am) Saturday 22 September 2012 9.15–10.30am (talk at 10.30am) Tuesday 25 September 2012 9.15–10.30am (talk at 10.30am) The admission test will be held on Saturday 17 November 2012 Sixth form open evening Tuesday 23 October 2012 6–8pm Closing date for applications to sixth form for 2013 entry is 31 December 2012. 26 SECTION 2 / SCHOOLS
Durand Academy About the Academy Durand Academy will re-open in September 2012 as an all-through Academy, offering children, parents and families the security of knowing that they have a place in an outstanding school all the way through to 18. From nursery age to adulthood Durand takes a consistent approach to teaching and learning, instilling a culture of hard work and high expectations throughout the Academy. Children at Durand have a unique opportunity, to progress through the early years, junior and middle school in Stockwell and go on to attend a state-boarding upper school, set in beautiful, rural grounds in West Sussex in Year 9. They will board during the week and return home at weekends. It is Durand’s aspiration that every child will complete the full journey, going on to experience an education equivalent to any independent school, funded by the Durand Education Trust bursary scheme. The boarding element allows Durand to offer an rich and broad extended school day, structured to maximise opportunities for further learning, sports, music and creative pursuits that we believe all children should have access to. Once admitted to the school all children will board from year 9. Children will leave the all-through Durand Academy as educated and skilled citizens with something precious and valuable to give back to society. Pupils will be admitted at reception and then after that by casual admissions. Consequently, the Academy will not admit external applicants in Year 7 unless it is undersubscribed by pupils moving up from its own Year 6. Children in Year 6 of the Primary School are entitled to transfer to the secondary school without applying further. If fewer than 125 pupils intend to transfer from Year 6, the Academy will admit up to the size of the Year 7 group (i.e. 125) if sufficient applications are received. Any child who is currently on the roll of Durand Academy in year 6 in the 2012/13 academic year, will not need to formally apply for a year 7 place for September 2013 as they will automatically transfer into year 7. Any child who does not currently attend Durand Academy in year 6 who would like to apply to join in Year 7 in 2013 should do so through their home borough via the London co-ordinated admissions procedure for secondary transfer.
