Lilian Baylis Technology School under this criterion must be accompanied by a letter from the relevant local authority. Criterion 2 Siblings. Children with a brother or sister who already attends the school, and who will not have left the school at the time of admission. As a result siblings in the nursery or Year 6 of a primary school, or Year 11 at a secondary school will not be regarded as a sibling under this criterion. A sibling is defined as a full/half/step brother or sister (who are living at the same address in all instances) or a child who is living as part of the family by reason of a court order, or a child who has been placed with foster carers at that address as a result of being looked after by the council. However, children who are looked after under an agreed series of short-term placements (such as respite) will not be regarded as siblings under this criterion. Criterion 3 Children with exceptional medical or social needs. Children with a professionally supported medical or social need, whose application identifies a particular school that is especially able to meet that need. The decision to prioritise children on these grounds will be determined via MEDSOC panel, which is comprised of the council’s senior management as well as senior school staff. Documents from an appropriate professional (not including general information from a website) must support these applications. However, any supporting evidence does not automatically mean that applicants will gain priority in this criterion as the decision to prioritise under this criterion will solely rest with the MEDSOC panel. Criterion 4 Distance. Priority will be given on the basis of distance between the child’s home and the school, measured by a straight-line. This measurement will be done using a computerised mapping system. This measurement will be from a point from the child’s home as identified by the software to a point at the school as profiled in the software. The child’s home address will be the child’s permanent place of residency and will not be the address of a relative or carer, unless they have legal custody of the child. Applications must only be made from a single address. When offered a place at a school, the offer will be conditional until proof of address has been given. 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. Appeals for this school are arranged by Democratic Services, tel. 020 7926 2170 or visit www.lambeth.gov.uk for an appeals form (see page 11 for more details).

The London Nautical School The London Nautical School exists to educate and prepare pupils to be able to meet the needs of society, either at sea or in any other occupation, where responsibility, attention to duty and regard for others are valued equally with academic and practical skills. The school’s success in achieving its aim depends on effective partnership between parents, pupils, staff and governors, together with a curriculum within which the school’s nautical character forms a central part. A Unique Heritage The school has a nautical history and tradition stretching back almost a hundred years. This means we offer all pupils the chance to participate in nautical sports and activities. We have links with the Merchant and Royal Navy, as well as other sectors of the Maritime Industry such as the Honourable Company of Shipwrights. A Small School London Nautical is small enough that we all know each other personally. We provide all pupils, staff and visitors with a safe environment for learning. We recognize the role of parents in the success of the school and actively involve them. We have an excellent pastoral team and a very high quality teaching staff. Year Heads and Tutors stay with the same group of pupils throughout their time at the school enabling them to build up strong relationships with pupils and parents. Outstanding Sporting Opportunities We have an excellent reputation as a sports college. Our team frequently top local sports leagues and we have several sporting internationals amongst our pupils. Pupils are offered a wide range of sporting opportunities within the curriculum and as extra-curricular activities. There are also opportunities for pupils to achieve formal PE qualifications. We choose to offer more time for PE/Games in our curriculum because active participation in sport improves teamwork and cooperation. A Curriculum for the 21st Century Our curriculum is focussed on achieving excellence for all whatever their ability. We aim to offer a career path for all pupils at whatever stage they leave the school by preparing them for a range of academic, professional, artisan, and sporting careers. Personalisation in our curriculum offer is aimed at boys to achieve their best intellectually, physically and creatively. Serving the whole of London in the Heart of London The school has a stunning location right next to the Thames and South Bank. This means we can provide high quality cultural, sporting and maritime opportunities to broaden pupils’ experiences. We are Pan London School because we have no catchment area our pupils come from every borough and we welcome applications from all over London. Admissions and over-subscription criteria The London Nautical School admits pupils of all abilities from the whole of London, and occasionally beyond. For year 7’s starting school in September 2013 there are 120 places available that will be allocated SECTION 2 / SCHOOLS 45
