	Voter Information

Sherwood Park Primary School is an Academy. The Governing Body is responsible for decisions on admissions to the school.

Children born from 1 September 2016 to 31 August 2017 will be admitted to Reception classes in September 2020. The number of Reception places for the Academic Year 2020/2021 will be 60 which is the Published Admission Number for the school. Parents have the right to defer their child’s start at school, or to request part time education. This must be discussed with the school where a place has been allocated before making a final decision.

Children born between 1 April and 31 August are referred to as “Summer born”. Parents can request that summer born children start school in a Reception class in the September after their fifth birthday (i.e. with children who are a year younger), if there is clear evidence that the child is not ready to start primary school at the normal time. The decision on whether to delay entry to school will be made by the admission authority for the school (i.e. the Governing Body). All supporting evidence and views will be taken into account, but the admission authority is not obliged to agree to the request. There is no right of appeal against a decision not to admit a child into a year group lower than normal. If a request is not agreed, summer born children would go straight into Year 1 if they had not started school during the academic year when they became five years old.

Applications should be made on the home Local Authority’s primary common application form and submitted by the closing date of 15th January 2020. Parents living in Bexley are encouraged to apply on line using the link e-Admissions.

Parents can also collect a paper application form from any primary school in Bexley or from Councils Offices. They can apply for up to six schools, whether in Bexley or other areas.

Parents who do not live in Bexley should apply through their home local authority. They can list schools in Bexley on their form.

If the application is late, it will not be dealt with until all on time applications have been processed and it may not be possible to offer a place a Sherwood Park Primary School. Where there are fewer applicants than places available all will be admitted. Where there are more applicants than places available, the school will apply the following oversubscription criteria, in this order:

1. Children in public care (looked after children) or children who were previously in public care immediately before being adopted or subject to a residence order or special guardianship order. SHERWOOD PARK ADMISSIONS POLICY 3

2. Children with a medical need that makes it essential for the child to attend Sherwood Park Primary School. Evidence of the medical condition must be submitted at the time of application. An opinion may be sought from a medical adviser before a place is awarded.

3. Siblings of children who will be attending Sherwood Park Primary School at the time the child is due for admission to the school. This priority does not include brothers or sisters due to transfer to secondary school in the next academic year. For this priority, brother or sister includes a full brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, or step/half brother or sister living at the same address. Where in an allocation of places, children who are twin, triplets or from other multiple births would qualify for fewer places than the number of children, all will be treated as siblings and therefore accorded the sibling priority.

4. Children whose parents or sibling has a medical condition, or where there are significant social or domestic circumstances, that would result in significant hardship if the child did not attend Sherwood Park Primary School. Evidence must be submitted at the time of application. An opinion may be sought from a medical adviser or other professional before a place is awarded.

5. Children living closest to the school, based on the distance measured as a straight line from the home address to the nearest pupil entrance. Measurements will be provided by the London Borough of Bexley in accordance with its home to school distance measuring policy.

Home will be taken as the address at which the child lives with the parent or legal guardian who is also the main carer, defined as the parent to receive child benefit and child tax credit, at the time of application.

A waiting list will be kept by the Governors of applicants who are refused admission due to oversubscription. When places become available they will be offered in the sequence of the criteria above. The waiting list will be kept until the start of the Autumn Term 2020.

Parents have the right to appeal against any refusal by the Governors to admit their child. Details of the appeals procedure can be obtained by contacting the school office.

Tie breaker: Where one or more applicants live exactly the same distance from the school applied for and all would qualify for the last available place, the allocation of the last place will be made by drawing lots. The drawing of lots will be witnessed by an independent adjudicator. The first child drawn will be offered the place, and the remaining children placed on the waiting list in the order of the draw.

Admissions during the year and outside the normal round Admission of children moving into the area or transferring from another school in year and outside the normal admissions round will be considered by Governors having regard to the admissions policy stated above and according to whether places are available in the appropriate year group.

A waiting list will be kept by the Governors of applicants who are refused admission due to oversubscription. When places become available, they will be offered in the sequence of the oversubscription criteria above.

Parents have the right to appeal against any refusal by the Governors to admit their child. Details of the appeals procedure can be obtained by contacting the school office.

Requests for Admission Outside the Normal Age Range Requests for in year admission to a higher or lower age group will be considered by Governors. They will make a decision on the basis of the circumstances of the case and in the best interests of the child concerned. However, the school is not obliged to agree the request, and there is no right of appeal against the school’s decision. Request should be made in writing to the school at the normal time of application for their age group.

Date of entry to Reception Classes and Admission outside the normal age group

All children can start in a Reception class in the September of the academic year when they become five years old. Compulsory school age is the beginning of the school term after the child’s fifth birthday, and entry may be deferred to the January or April after the fifth birthday.

Parents of children born between 1 April and 31 August may request entry to Reception (rather than Year 1) in the September after the child’s fifth birthday. Requests should, where possible, be made during the normal application period for primary places, accompanied by any available supporting evidence.

If the request is agreed, the application for a school place will be processed in the following year’s application period. If the request is not agreed, the child must either start school before the fifth birthday or start school in Year 1 in the September following the fifth birthday. A place will not be allocated at a preferred school unless the child qualifies for a place under the published admission criteria either in the normal or deferred year of entry.

In year requests for admission outside the normal age group (i.e. other than for entry to Reception) should be made at the time of application with supporting evidence.

If a child is admitted to Reception one year later than normal, new requests must be made for entry outside the normal age group when transferring to Junior School (for a child attending an infant only school) and Secondary School.

All decisions on admission outside the normal age group to Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools will be made by the London Borough of Bexley in consultation with the Head Teacher of the preferred school. There is no right of appeal against a decision not to admit a child outside the normal age group.
