GUIDE FOR PARENTS

Nursery, Primary and Secondary Admission 2007/2008

Learning, Culture & Children’s Services

...putting children first
FOREWORD
Dear Parent/Carer
Deciding on a school for your child is probably one
of the most important decisions that you will make
as a parent/carer.This guide will help you decide
which school you would like your child to attend.
It tells you about the Local Authority (LA) schools
in the area and explains how school places are
allocated. It also provides you with information
about other educational opportunities, including
early years provision in the city.
In order to supplement the information in this
guide, each school also publishes its own
prospectus, offering you further details about the
school and the education your child will receive if
admitted.You can get a copy of the prospectus by
contacting the school directly.
It is now six years since the LA undertook a
widespread consultation over the allocation of
secondary school places and a new policy was
agreed.The new policy is based on the principle of
‘local schools for local children’. Each community
secondary school has been allocated its own
‘catchment’ area. Parents are still able to express a
preference for any school in the city whether they
live in the catchment area or not but if there are
too few places available for the number of
applicants, admissions will be allocated according to
the ‘over-subscription criteria’ included in the guide.
Admission arrangements for the voluntary aided
(VA) church schools differ from this in some
important respects, but the governing bodies of all
three voluntary aided schools are also committed
to their local communities.
This approach has worked well, and the recent
public debate about school admissions
demonstrates how difficult it is to devise a fair
system that is based on anything other than
proximity to the nearest school. Over the last six
years, there has been a significant increase in the
number of parents being allocated their first
preference, and a parallel decrease in the number
of appeals. Every year, however, there are
disappointments, and the LA is continually seeking
ways of improving the system.
York schools are good schools, standards are high
and we are proud of the education we offer for
children in York. I hope you find the information in
this guide useful.

TAKING PRIDE IN OUR CITY –
HELPING OUR CHILDREN TO GROW UP SAFELY
You are planning for your child to start at a first
school or a new school. Whichever school you
express a preference for and/or are allocated a
place at, we hope that you will work with us to
make the City a safe place to live and work. All of
our schools will teach children about values,
respect, about citizenship and about the needs of
others. All schools have statements about their aims
and values and they will ask you to commit your
support to helping them to educate your children
about them. We hope that you can do this.
There are some children and young people who
behave in ways, which are anti-social. As parents, you
won’t want your child to behave in anti-social ways
but it is not always easy to say no to children, to
stop them seeing bad behaviours and copying them.
Our Council is committed to tackling anti-social
behaviour because this is one of the most
important ways of developing pride in our City.
The Council, and its partners, are working hard to
tackle the problems of youth crime, of vandalism,
drug use and teenage pregnancy. As well as these
very serious problems involving a small number of
ii
young people, most families go through some sort
of difficulties from time to time. Organisations in
the City have pooled their resources to set up a
parenting strategy.Through this every school in the
City has access to specialist staff or community
organisations who can help you to deal with these
times. Some of the support services are listed
elsewhere in the guide. As a part of the Council’s
actions to tackle anti-social behaviour, to provide
help for parents and to give all children
opportunities to play and socialise safely, a web-
based directory of services and activities is being
developed through Yortime.
Probably one of the best ways to help your child
stay within the boundaries of acceptable behaviour
is to help them to develop self-esteem. If they are
happy, if they feel valued and if they feel that they
can talk openly about worries, then they are far less
likely than others to get led on by their ‘friends’ or
get involved in risk taking behaviour. A good way to
develop self-esteem is to comment to your child
when they are doing things right, not just when
they are doing things wrong. It’s about making the
time to encourage the right sort of behaviours.

WHICH SCHOOL?
You may find the following descriptions helpful as you read the guide.They explain the types of schools available:
1 COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
These are owned and maintained by the Local
Authority (LA), which in York is City of York
Council.
In an LA school, the governors run the school in
line with LA policies.The governors appoint staff
and manage the school budget.
The LA is the admissions authority for its
maintained schools and has sole authority for the
admissions process.
B
SECTION
2 VOLUNTARY SCHOOLS
These were founded by voluntary organisations
such as the Church of England, the Roman Catholic
Church, other churches and educational
foundations.The ethos of the school is likely to be
influenced by the ideas of the organisation which
founded it.
There are two types of voluntary school:
• Voluntary controlled schools
Although these were founded by voluntary
organisations, these schools are entirely
maintained by the LA.Voluntary controlled
schools are similar to LA schools.The LA
decides the arrangements for children to be
admitted to these schools.
• Voluntary aided schools
These schools are not fully maintained by the
LA.The governors of voluntary aided schools
have more power than those of other schools –
they employ all the staff, they decide what the
school term dates will be and they share the
maintenance of the school buildings with the LA.
The governors decide which children are
admitted to voluntary aided schools.
The list of schools in Section I gives the type of
each school.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN WHAT YOU MIGHT ALSO LOOK FOR
CONSIDERING A SCHOOL IN YORK WHEN VISITING A SCHOOL WITH YOUR
CHILD

have additional questions to consider.You also need
to be clear of the different admission policies for
these schools.

ADMISSION TO EARLY EDUCATION
The Authority’s admission criteria, which was
agreed with the Early Years and Extended Schools
Partnership applies to free nursery education places
for three and four year olds.
NURSERY/EARLY EDUCATION
ADMISSIONS GUIDELINES
There are free nursery/early education places for
all three and four year olds whose parents want
one. Children may take up a free place:
• at a nursery class attached to a local school
or at St Paul’s Nursery School
• at their local pre-school playgroup
• at a private day nursery or independent
nursery school
• with a childminder who is part of a registered
network
• with the Portage Service (offering home visits
for children with special educational needs aged
0 – 5 years)
All the above are called ‘providers’.
C
SECTION
The Early Years and Extended Schools Partnership
and CYC agreed the following guidelines on
admissions criteria for three and four year olds
taking up a free nursery/early education place in
the City.
• Normally children will be admitted in age order,
so that the oldest children are admitted first.
• BUT children with identified special needs, or in
social need, may be offered a nursery place before
an older child who doesn’t have these needs.
• Three year olds should be admitted in line with
eligibility dates established by the Department
for Education and Skills:
• Children who have their third birthday
between 1 September and 31 December
should be admitted from the beginning of
the Spring Term.
• Children who have their third birthday
between 1 January and 31 March should
be admitted from the beginning of the
Summer Term.
• Children who have their third birthday
between 1 April and 31 August should
be admitted from the beginning of the
Autumn Term.
• Children should be admitted from anywhere
within the City of York Council area.This allows
parents to use nursery/early years provision that
is most convenient for the family, near their
work or close to their childcare provider.
4
• Free nursery/early education places are part-
time, for a minimum of 21⁄2 hours a day, for a
maximum of five sessions for 38 weeks of the
year. In addition, under the Pathfinder Award for
the ‘New flexible entitlement for 3 and 5 year
olds 2006/2008’ and subject to consultation,
parents may be able to access 15 hours of early
education over 38 weeks. Early years and child
care providers are being supported to increase
entitlement up to 6 sessions (15 hours) of 21⁄2
hours of early education from April 2007. Some
children with special educational needs may
require a different pattern of attendance.
• Children living within the City of York boundary,
or within the normal area for City of York
schools, have a higher priority for a place than
children living outside the City boundary.
• Children living outside the City of York boundary
who have attended a York pre-school provider
for three terms before their third birthday will
also be given prior consideration for a
nursery/early education place.
• Children with additional needs or ‘Hard to
Reach Children’ qualify for additional sessions
(maximum of 5. 6 under Pathfinder) if they are
not already accessing the full entitlement.
The guidelines are based on equal opportunity
principles, so that children will be admitted
according to fair, open and clear criteria. People
who provide free nursery/early education do not
have to follow these guidelines, but they should
have a way of admitting children that is fair for all
children who apply for places. Parents can ask to
see admissions policies which set down how
providers make their decisions.
5
City of York Council only funds nursery/early
education places within the City.This policy is aimed
at supporting York providers so that a range and
choice of provision in the City is sustained.
A fact sheet on nursery/early education places for
three and four year olds is available from the
Children’s Information Service on (01904) 554628.
THE ADMISSIONS POLICY
The admissions policy to full time school was
introduced in September 2003.
The admissions policy is part of ‘A Shared Foundation
for Children’ and combines education and care for
children aged three to five years old in York.
‘A Shared Foundation for Children’ presented an
ideal opportunity for York to rethink how to
provide the best early years education and
childcare for three to five year olds before they
start formal education.
The policy means that children start full time
education in the school year they turn five.There
are two formal points of full time entry to school.
These are dependent on the child’s birth date.This
means that:
• Children born between 1 September and
31 December can be admitted full time to
school in September in the school year that they
turn five.
• Children born between 1 January and 31 August
can be admitted full time to school in January in
the school year they turn five.
The policy includes an option of ‘Deferred Entry’.
All schools follow the council’s formal policy of
Deferred Entry.This means that parents may secure
a place at a school under the normal admission
arrangements but choose to postpone their child’s
admission to the school until the term after a child
turns five. It is a legal requirement that all children
must enter formal full time education the term after
their fifth birthday. Adoption of this policy is
recommended to the governing bodies of voluntary
aided schools.
Schools and other local providers work in their
Shared Foundation Community Partnership to offer
early education and wraparound care and subject
to consultation extended services to suit each child.
Each local partnership may include pre-school
playgroups, day nurseries, childminders, toddler
groups and other out-of-school care.
Every three to five year old in a part time place is
entitled to 5 sessions (*Pathfinder 6 sessions) made
up of 21⁄2 hours of free early education per week,
which is based currently on the Foundation Stage
Curriculum.There may also be the opportunity to
access additional wraparound care between the
hours of 8am to 6pm.
Wraparound Care includes the following:
• Breakfast clubs
• Lunch clubs
• Before/after early education sessions
• After school clubs/homework clubs
• Holiday play schemes
• Childminders
The education aspect would be offered by the
school, or by a pre-school playgroup, private
nursery or childminder, registered for early years
education, on or off a school site.
The wraparound care aspect would be provided by
a pre-school playgroup, private nursery, childminder
or informal carer. Again this could be provided on
the school site or it may be that the childcare aspect
is offered by a number of providers in the locality.
If you would like more information please
contact the Children’s Information Service on
(01904) 554628.

Children who are accessing full time education will

be receiving the equivalent to 10 sessions based on
the Foundation Stage Curriculum.

Wraparound care is the term used to describe

seamless care, education and play for young
children. Morning or afternoon sessions are added
to the early education sessions to provide a whole
day of education and care.

ADMISSIONS TO YORK PRIMARY SCHOOLS
The City of York policy for allocating primary school
places is designed to be as fair as possible while
ensuring that resources are used sensibly.
A revised policy was introduced from September
2003.The policy means that children will start full
time education in the school year they turn five.
There will be two formal points of full time entry
to school.These are dependent upon the child’s
birth date.This means that:
• Children born between 1 September and
31 December can be admitted full time to
school in September in the school year that they
turn five.
• Children born between 1 January and 31 August
can be admitted full time to school in January in
the school year they turn five.
We will make arrangements so you can express
your preference. Although most parents will seek a
place for their child at the nearest or local school,
they can nevertheless express a preference for a
place at any other primary school
HOW DO I FIND OUT ABOUT PRIMARY
SCHOOLS IN YORK?
In Section I of this guide you will find a complete
list of primary schools in the Authority with their
addresses, telephone numbers and the names of
the headteachers.You can find out where they are
by referring to the City of York map in this guide.
Schools which have a nursery class have a large ‘N’
under the admission number column.
Every school publishes a prospectus; you can get a
copy directly from the school.
D
SECTION
HOW DO I APPLY FOR MY CHILD TO
START PRIMARY SCHOOL?
You will need to complete a common application
form which allows you to indicate up to three
primary schools you would wish your child to attend.
The common application form can be obtained
from either the primary school that you would
prefer your child to attend or from the
nursery/playgroup that your child currently attends.
Alternatively, you can apply online at
www.admissions.york.gov.uk or by visiting our
website at www.york.gov.uk and following the links.
Your application will be treated in exactly the same
way as a paper application with the added benefit
of receiving an email confirming receipt of your
application and the ability to track progress online.
We would advise you to contact the school of your
first preference to enquire about entry
arrangements and also to visit your local school and
any other schools which you are considering, to
find the best available setting for your child.
The large majority of parents in York prefer their
children to attend their local catchment area
primary school. Our policy encourages ‘ Local
schools for Local children’.
8
PUPILS WITH STATEMENTS OF SPECIAL
EDUCATIONAL NEEDS (SEN)
Where children have a statement of SEN, parental
preference for either a mainstream or special
school place is considered and agreed as part of
the statutory assessment or annual review process.
Please note that there is a different admission and
appeals process for children with statements.
Further details are available from the SEN co-
ordination service on (01904) 554319.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NEXT?
You need to ensure that your completed common
application form has been returned to the school
of your first preference by Friday, 16 February
2007.The form will give you a chance to express a
preference and your reasons. If you choose to apply
online this must also be submitted by the Friday,
16 February 2007.
WHEN WILL I KNOW WHICH SCHOOL
MY CHILD WILL ATTEND?
Parents will be informed by the school where their
child has been allocated a place by Friday, 30 March
2007. If the school is oversubscribed you may be
informed by the Education Access Team rather than
the school.
9
WHAT HAPPENS IF A SCHOOL IS
OVERSUBSCRIBED?
Any school’s resources, such as teachers and
classrooms, have to be used carefully to ensure the
best possible standards of education and a safe
environment. If no limit is set on the numbers of
children that can go to a school each year these
standards could not be maintained.
Only a small number of primary schools will be
oversubscribed because the number of applications
exceeds the admission limit set for the school. In
these cases a decision has to be made as to which
children should have priority for the places available.
If that is the case, priority is given as follows:
First priority: Pupils looked after by the authority
– This applies to all pupils living in the City of York
area who are in the care of the local authority or
are provided with accommodation by the authority
(see section 22 of the Children Act 1989);
Second priority: Pupils who live within the
catchment area normally served by the school –
The catchment areas are designated by the City of
York LA and are made available to parents from
the Education Access Team;
Third priority: Pupils considered by the LA to
have exceptional social or medical needs which
relate to the preferred school – The LA may
consult with other medical/educational professionals
for a further opinion as to whether a pupil should
be allocated a place to an individual school due to
a particular medical condition or social need;
Fourth priority: Pupils with siblings at the school
in September 2007 – Siblings are defined as
brothers or sisters living in the same house, as their
primary place of residence, including half- and step-
brothers or sisters;
Fifth priority: Pupils who live closest to the school
using the nearest available safe walking route –
The LA is constantly reviewing the nearest available
safe walking routes, working closely with the Road
Safety Team.
If a place is to be allocated to a pupil and there is
more than one pupil from the same over-
subscription criterion, a place would be offered to
the pupil who also fulfils the next highest criterion,
eg catchment and sibling; catchment and shortest
distance to school.
WHAT IS THE ADMISSIONS POLICY FOR
VOLUNTARY AIDED SCHOOLS?
The policy and priority for admission to a voluntary
aided school is determined by the governors of the
school. Enquiries about admissions to these schools
should be addressed to the headteacher
concerned.The list in Section I of this book shows
which schools are voluntary aided.
Voluntary aided schools have their own appeals
procedures. For further details you will need to
contact the school concerned.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CHILD IS NOT

ALLOCATED A PLACE AT THE SCHOOL
OF MY FIRST PREFERENCE?

Most primary schools in York are able to

accommodate all of the pupils seeking a place.
However, from time to time some children will not
be allocated the school of their parents’ preference.
In this case you have the right to appeal against the
allocation of a school place. Please refer to Section
F for further information on the appeals process.

10
WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR SCHOOL
ADMISSIONS FOR CHILDREN LIVING
OUTSIDE THE CITY OF YORK AREA?
If you live outside the City of York boundary but
wish your child to be admitted to a City of York
primary school, you should contact the Education
Access Team for a common application form.
Alternatively, you can apply online at
www.admissions.york.gov.uk. If the school is voluntary
aided you should write directly to that school.
WHAT ABOUT YORK CHILDREN GOING
TO SCHOOLS OUTSIDE THE CITY OF
YORK AREA?
If you would like a place at a primary school
outside the City of York area you can apply directly
to the relevant authority. Should you need any help
or advice, please contact the City of York Education
Access Team.
11
INFANT CLASS SIZES:WHAT DOES THE
LIMIT ON CLASS SIZES MEAN FOR MY
CHILD?
Legislation introduced in September 2001, prevents
class sizes for Key Stage 1 (infants) from exceeding
30 pupils.The Authority will, therefore, need to take
this into account when allocating places in
reception, year 1 and year 2.
We will, therefore, not allocate any pupils to a year
group which would mean that a class would be
greater than 30.
You can appeal if your child has not been allocated
a place due to the infant class size legislation. Please
see Section F of this guide for further information.
DOES THE LA HAVE WAITING LISTS FOR
SCHOOLS?
If a school is oversubscribed, a waiting list will be
held from when the allocations have been made
until 30 September 2007.Your position on this list
will be determined by the criteria set out
previously. If a pupil does not take up an offer of a
place at an oversubscribed school, this place will be
offered to the next person on the waiting list. If you
appeal for a place at a school, it does not affect
your child’s place on the waiting list.
HOME ADDRESS
The LA is determined to prevent fraudulent
applications for school places. Parents must
therefore, only use one address when completing
the common application form.This MUST be the
address at which the parent and child are ordinarily
resident. Where there is an issue with joint
residence each case is assessed on an individual
basis because of the infinite nature of individual
circumstances.The Education Access Team will
check addresses against other records held by the
City of York Council, such as the electoral register, in
accordance with the authority’s Data Protection
Registration.The LA will place the responsibility on
the parent/carer to prove they are ordinarily
resident at the address, but may request additional
information in certain circumstances.The LA will
withdraw the offer of a school place if an
application is found to be fraudulent.
12
MOVING TO YORK AND WANTING A
PLACE AT A PRIMARY SCHOOL

It does not matter what time of year you move to

York, we will work with you to find your child an
appropriate primary school. Most primary schools will
normally have places available, although in some cases
the school of your preference may already be full.

All York primary schools, with the exception of the

voluntary aided church schools, have their own
catchment areas.This means that if it is your
preference, your child would normally be allocated
a place in the school in whose catchment area you
will reside.This, however, is not always possible
because some schools may have reached their
admission limit. Allocating any additional pupils to
the school would, therefore, begin to prejudice the
education of other pupils already within the school.
The other reason for a place being refused is that
legislation states that no infant class can have more
than 30 pupils. For these reasons we may not be
able to allocate your child a place at their
catchment area school. In the large majority of
cases however, we can allocate a place for your
child at their catchment area school.

We can advise you which is your catchment area

school, which schools have places available, which
schools are church schools, and your right of appeal
if your chosen school has already reached its
admission limit. Information on appeals can be
found in Section F of this guide.

13

ADMISSIONS TO YORK SECONDARY SCHOOLS
The City of York policy for allocating secondary
school places is designed to be as fair as possible
while ensuring that resources are used sensibly.
Parents can apply for their child to attend any
secondary school. We will make arrangements so
you can express a preference for your child to
attend a particular school. All parents/carers MUST
complete a common application form for their
child.This form gives you the opportunity to state
up to five secondary schools you would prefer your
child to attend.
A revised secondary school admission policy was
introduced for September 2001. Under the
secondary schools admission arrangements the
allocation of places is based on where the child
lives and the preferences of parents.The attendance
at a particular primary school does not give any
guarantee of a place at a particular secondary
school.The secondary school admission policy is
not based on feeder primary schools.
The vast majority of parents in York get a place for
their child at the school they want, although this is
not possible in every case. Parents can only be
assured of a secondary school place if they receive
an offer from the Local Authority.The only
exceptions to this rule are All Saints’ Roman
Catholic School, Archbishop Holgate’s Church of
England School and Manor Church of England
School, as these are voluntary aided schools where
the admissions are determined by the governing
bodies. If you are applying for a place at any of these
three schools you still need to complete a common
application form as well as an application form for
the individual school. It is important to note that
Headteachers cannot offer places to parents.
E
SECTION
SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN YORK
A New School resulting from the closure of
Oaklands and Lowfield will open on 1 September
2007. Initially year 7 pupils will be based on the
Lowfield site, but will move into the new school
building in late 2008 which will be on the Oaklands
Site.The New School will open with a team of staff
who will move with pupils onto the new site.
If you live in the City of York Council area, your
child would normally go to one of the secondary
schools listed in Section I of this guide.They are all
co-educational and therefore, admit boys and girls.
They are also all comprehensive schools and do not
have admission arrangements that depend on a
pupil’s ability or an entrance exam.
These four schools offer post-16 education:
• All Saints’ Roman Catholic School
• Fulford School
• Huntington School
• Joseph Rowntree School
The following six schools have developed close links
with York College.The College provides a wide
range of post 16 education which is accessed by a
large number of pupils leaving these schools:
• Archbishop Holgate’s Church of England School
• Burnholme Community College
• Canon Lee School
• Manor Church of England School
• Millthorpe School

FOR CHILDREN TRANSFERRING FROM PRIMARY TO
SECONDARY SCHOOL
WHEN DO I APPLY?
You will be sent a common application form in
October 2006 asking you to tell us your five
preferences and the reasons for them.This is an
important form and your child’s place may be in
jeopardy if you do not return it to us before 15
November 2006. Expressing a preference and the
reasons for that preference are legal rights; Please
complete the form fully and carefully.You should
name up to five schools for which you wish your
child to be considered for a place including any
voluntary aided schools or schools which are
outside the City of York area. Please add any
information on an extra sheet if you feel it is
appropriate. Further details are provided in the
letter you will have received with this guide.
Alternatively, you can apply online at
www.admissions.york.gov.uk or by visiting our
website at www.york.gov.uk and following the links.
Your application will be treated in exactly the same
way as a paper application with the added benefit
of receiving an email confirming receipt of your
application and the ability to track progress online.
All preferences are treated as equal initially and are
seen by all admission authorities whose schools
have been indicated as a preference. If more than
one school place could potentially be offered, the
single offer will be made for the school that the
parent/carer ranked highest.
PUPILS WITH STATEMENT OF SPECIAL
EDUCATIONAL NEEDS (SEN)
Where children have a statement of SEN, parental
preference for either a mainstream or special
school place is considered and agreed as part of
the statutory assessment or annual review process.
Please note that there is a different admission and
appeals process for children with statements.
Further details are available from the SEN
co-ordination service on (01904) 554319.
WHEN DO I RETURN MY COMMON
APPLICATION FORM?
You must return your form to us or submit an
online application by 15 November 2006. Sorting
through all the applications and working out who
will be able to go to which school is a task that
requires time and care. We work to a timescale to
ensure that parents, children and schools have
plenty of time to plan, and any problems that may
arise can be sorted out. If you do not return your
form by this date your application may be dealt
with after all the other applications that were
received on or before 15 November 2006.This
means you will stand less chance of getting your
preferred school.
WHEN WILL I BE INFORMED WHICH
SCHOOL HAS BEEN ALLOCATED FOR MY
CHILD?
We will write to you on 1 March 2007 informing
you of your child’s allocated place.
WHAT HAPPENS IF A SCHOOL IS
OVERSUBSCRIBED?
Any school’s resources, such as teachers and
classrooms, have to be used carefully to ensure the
best possible standards for education and a safe
environment. If no limit were set on the number of
16
children that can go to a school each year these
standards could not be maintained.
Because of the number of pupils transferring to
secondary education, it is inevitable that some
schools will be oversubscribed. If that is the case,
priority is given to certain categories of pupil. What
we take into account when allocating places at
oversubscribed schools is where the child’s home
address is, the child’s medical or social needs and
whether they have a brother or sister attending the
school. Our policy encourages ‘Local schools for
local children’ and as such priority is given to pupils
who live within the catchment area of the school. In
summary, places are allocated:
First priority: Pupils looked after by the authority
– This applies to all pupils living in the City of York
area who are in the care of the local authority or
are provided with accommodation by the authority
(see section 22 of the Children Act 1989);
Second priority: Pupils who live within the
catchment area normally served by the school –
The catchment areas are designated by the City of
York LA and are made available to parents via the
annual Guide for Parents, secondary school open
nights or from the Education Access Team;
Third priority: Pupils considered by the LA to
have exceptional social or medical needs which
relate to the preferred school – The LA may
consult with other medical/educational professionals
for a further opinion as to whether a pupil should
be allocated a place to an individual school due to
a particular medical condition or social need;
Fourth priority: Pupils with siblings at the school
in September 2007 – Siblings are defined as
brothers or sisters living in the same house, as their
17
primary place of residence, including half- and step-
brothers or sisters;
Fifth priority: Pupils who live closest to the school
using the nearest available safe walking route –
The LA is constantly reviewing the nearest available
safe walking routes, working closely with the Road
Safety Team.
If a place is to be allocated to a pupil and there is
more than one pupil from the same over-
subscription criterion, a place would be offered to
the pupil who fulfils a place in the next higher
criterion.
If a pupil is in the position of potentially being
offered a place at more than one school, the single
offer will be made for the school the parent/carer
ranked the highest.
WHAT IF MY CHILD ATTENDS A PRIMARY
SCHOOL OUTSIDE THE CITY OF YORK?
The following primary schools are outside City of
York Council’s area but most of the children who
attend them still live in the area normally served by
at least one of York’s secondary schools. Please be
aware that some pupils attending these primary
schools may not be eligible for the secondary
schools listed. Please ring the Education Access
Team on (01904) 554248 for details if you are
unsure.
Escrick Primary School – Fulford School
Sand Hutton Primary School – Huntington School
Warthill Primary School – Huntington School
WHAT IF MY CHILD LIVES OUTSIDE THE
CITY OF YORK AREA?
If you live outside the area but would like your child to
go to a City of York school, you should complete the
common application form given to you by your ‘home’
LA.The ‘home’ LA will contact the City of York and
provide appropriate details to enable a decision to be
made in accordance with the policy.The deadline
for your ‘home’ LA may differ from the City of York.
Applications will be considered using the same
criteria as applications from City of York parents
who wish their child to attend a school which is not
normally the school for their area.
WHAT IF I WANT MY CHILD TO ATTEND
A SECONDARY SCHOOL OUTSIDE THE
CITY OF YORK?
You still need to apply to the City of York either by
completing a common application form or applying
online at www.admissions.york.gov.uk. We will then
contact the relevant LA for that particular school to
advise them on your preference and provide them
with the appropriate details.
If your child lives in the area served by one of the
following primary schools, they fall into the
catchment areas for the City of York schools shown
and Tadcaster Grammar School.
St. Mary’s CE Primary, Askham Richard –
York High (new school)
Archbishop of York CE Junior, Bishopthorpe –
Fulford or Millthorpe schools
Copmanthorpe Primary – Millthorpe School
We currently provide free transport to Tadcaster
Grammar School for children from these three
areas who start in September.
CAN MY CHILD TRANSFER TO
SECONDARY SCHOOL EARLY?
For a child to be considered for early entry to a
later phase of education there must be very
significant educational and social reasons.The
recommendation for a child to miss a year of
schooling would normally come from the child’s
school but may be initiated by the parent/carer of
the child. A request for early entry to secondary
school must be made in writing to the Education
Access Team before the 15 November 2006 when
the child is in Year 5.The request would be
expected to have been the outcome of ongoing
dialogue between the school and the parent/carers.
Further details are available on request from the
Education Access Team or the child’s school.
DOES THE LA HAVE WAITING LISTS FOR
SCHOOLS?
If a school is oversubscribed, a waiting list will be
held from when the allocations have been made in
March 2007 until 30 September 2007.Your child’s
position on this list will be determined by the
criteria set out previously and will be based on
preferences indicated on the common application
form. If you want your child to be added to a
waiting list of a school that you haven’t applied for
after the 1 March 2007, they will be added to the
bottom of the waiting list. Priority is given to those
pupils whose parents have already indicated a
preference for that school.You are advised,
therefore, to use all your five preferences. Children

MOVING TO YORK AND WANTING A PLACE AT A
SECONDARY SCHOOL

Moving into a new area and starting a new school

can sometimes be a difficult time for a child. Our
aim is to try and make the transfer to a York
secondary school as smooth as possible.

All York secondary schools, with the exception of

Manor CE and All Saints’ RC have their own
catchment area.This means that, if it is your
preference, your child would normally be allocated
a place at the school in whose catchment area you
reside. However, this is not always possible because
some schools may have reached their admission
limit. Allocating any additional pupils to the school
may, therefore, prejudice the education of other
pupils already within the school. If that is the view
of the LA then we may not allocate a place for
your child in their catchment area. In the majority
of cases we will try to allocate places in the local
catchment school.

We will advise you of your catchment area school

and also inform you of other secondary schools
which will have places available for the year group
in which your child will be commencing. If we are
unable to allocate your child a place at the school
of your preference you do have the right to appeal
(Please see Section F of this guide).

WHAT ABOUT APPLYING TO A CHURCH
SCHOOL?
If you want your child to have a denominational
education, you can apply to one of these schools:
• All Saints’ Roman Catholic School
• Archbishop Holgate’s Church of England School
• Manor Church of England School
ADMISSIONS POLICY FOR ALL SAINTS’
ROMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOL
All Saints’ RC School was founded by the Catholic
Church to provide education for children of
Catholic families.The school is conducted by its
governing body as part of the Catholic Church in
accordance with its trust deed and instrument of
government, and seeks at all times to be a witness
to Jesus Christ.
Whenever there are more applications than places
available, priority will always be given to Catholic
applicants in accordance with the oversubscription
criteria listed below. All applicants are required to
declare their positive support for the aims and
ethos of the school.
The governing body has responsibility for
admissions to this school and will normally admit up
to 174 pupils at the age of 11 each year.
OVERSUBSCRIPTION CRITERIA
At any time where there are more applications
for places than the number of places available,
places will be offered according to the following
order of priority:
1. ‘Looked after’ children from Catholic families.
2. Catholic children attending Catholic primary
schools within the York parishes of St Aelred,
English Martyrs, St George, St Joseph, Our Lady,
St Paulinus and St Wilfrid and the parishes of All
Saints’ (Thirsk), St John the Evangelist
(Easingwold), St Joseph (Tadcaster), St Leonard
and St Mary (Malton), St Margaret Clitheroe

and the parents.
9. Any other applicants.
Notes:
Catechumens and members of an Eastern Christian
Church are to be given priority next after baptised
Catholics in each of the first three categories.
Where the offer of places to all applicants in any of
the categories listed above, would lead to
oversubscription within a category, then the
following criteria will be used in the order given:
1. The attendance of a brother or sister at the
school at the time of enrolment will increase the
priority of an applicant within each category.
23
2. Where evidence is provided at the time of
application of an exceptional social, medical or
pastoral need of the child which can most
appropriately be met at this school, this may
increase the priority of an application within a
category.
3. Where the offer of places to all applicants in any
of the sub-categories listed above would still
lead to oversubscription, the places up to the
admission number will be offered to those living
nearest to the school.

and continues to do so as a voluntary aided school.
subsequent position. Except where stated below, if
there are more applicants within any given
qualifying criterion than there are places, the places
for these applicants will be allocated to pupils with
the closest safe walking route. Applicants who are
unsuccessful in obtaining a place have the right to
appeal, but will on written request be placed on a
waiting list ranked according to the criteria in this
policy and maintained until the 30 September 2007.

The number of places available for admission into

Year 7 is 162.These are divided into two categories:

Foundation places are allocated on faith grounds to

Community places are for parents who live in the

area normally served by the school and the wider
community, and who want their child to attend a
school with a Christian tradition.There will be at
least 120 Community places available each year.
After considering those with special circumstances,
priority is given first to siblings, second to pupils
living in the area normally served by the school,
third to those with the closest safe walking route.

If the number of applicants is greater than the

number of places available, the Governors will
allocate places according to the following criteria.
Consideration will be given first to those naming
Archbishop Holgate’s as the first choice of

placing Archbishop Holgate’s in a second or

26
FOUNDATION PLACES
Points will be allocated according to the range
indicated in brackets. Governors will only allocate
places when the points score for each child has
been calculated. Unsuccessful applicants for
foundation places will be automatically considered
for the remaining 120 Community places and any
points scored will then be disregarded.
1. Whether the parents/guardians regularly attend
worship at a Christian church, and for how long
church attendance has been sustained.
(0 – 10 points)
2. Whether the child regularly attends worship at a
Christian church, and for how long church
attendance has been sustained.

activities (e.g. music group or choir, Sunday
school or equivalent, bellringer, server,
Pathfinder)
(0 – 5 points)
Foundation places will be allocated to applicants
accumulating the highest number of points.The
threshold for consideration for a foundation place
will be a minimum of 5 points earned under
Section 1. Applications with fewer points in this
section will automatically be considered for
community places. If more than one applicant has
the lowest qualifying points score and there are
27
insufficient places, the places for these applicants
will be allocated to pupils whose homes are
furthest away from their next nearest available
Church of England secondary school, measured by
the closest safe walking route.
All applicants for foundation places must submit,

School’s aims to nurture the Christian faith, to
welcome children of other faiths and to serve the
local community, up to 90 of these places will be
foundation places and will be allocated on faith

Anglican or other Christian denomination and
for how long the church attendance has been
sustained.
(up to 10 points)
4. Involvement of the child in other church
activities. (Please note that attendance at

All applicants for foundation places will be required
to submit a reference from a minister of religion
with their application form.
Places will be allocated to applicants scoring the
highest number of points.
If more than 90 eligible applications are received,
the available places will be allocated to applicants
scoring the highest number of points. If more than
one applicant has the lowest qualifying points score
and there are insufficient places, the places for
these applicants will be allocated to those who live
the longest, safe walking distance from their
designated LA school. If less than 90 eligible
applications are received, the unfilled foundation
places will be allocated under Section 2.
Category 2 (Foundation places for children of
other major world faiths)
Up to 4 foundation places will be given to children
of active worshipping families of other major world
faiths (Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and
Sikhism) whose applications are supported by an
appropriate reference. If there are more
applications than places available, places will be
allocated to children who live the shortest safe
walking distance from the school. If less than 4
eligible applications are received, the unfilled
foundation places will be allocated under Section 2.
SECTION 2
Category 3 (Exceptional medical and social needs)
All schools are required by law to give prior
consideration to certain individual students with
exceptional social or medical needs. Governors will,
therefore, give prior consideration to:
1. Students having statements of special
educational need which, after discussion with
the school name Manor CE School.
2. “Looked after” students – places for looked
after students will be allocated in the light of
advice from the LA Social Services/Community
Services Team.
3. Students considered by the Governors to have
other exceptional social or medical needs
specific to Manor CE School – parents/carers
applying under this criteria will already have
consulted the school about it’s suitability for
their child and will need to provide written
references from the Director of Social Services /
Community Services or a relevant consultant
medical practitioner.
In all cases the Governors will want written
information indicating why Manor CE School is
considered to be better equipped to deal with the
student’s needs than the LA designated school.

your child you can appeal for a place at any are dealt with in exactly the same way.There are
alternative school. two distinct stages involved in an appeal:-

Before deciding to appeal you may prefer to speak
to staff within the Education Access Team to discuss
your options, including your right of appeal.
If you decide to proceed with an appeal you will be
sent an appeal form for completion, together with
information about the appeals procedure.You
should set out the reasons for your appeal clearly
and return it by the date given to the address
indicated on the form.
First: A factual stage – The admissions authority
must prove that ‘prejudice’ would arise
were an extra child to be admitted to the
school.
Second: A balancing stage – parents present their
information to the panel.The panel must
then exercise its discretion, balancing
between the degree of ‘prejudice’ and the
weight of parental factors.

All appeals are considered by an independent
appeals panel. Decisions made by the appeals panel
are legally binding on both the Local Authority and
the governors of the school.The Clerk of the
appeals panel writes to parents to inform them of
the decision.
Parents are only entitled to one appeal for an
individual school each year. A re-appeal would only
be considered if new evidence became available
which could not have been made available at the
original appeal hearing.

bodies. Appeal forms for these schools are obtained

TACKLING BULLYING – MAKING YOUR CHILD’S NEW

SCHOOL EVEN SAFER

Bullying is a frightening experience and it can
damage a child’s self-esteem and confidence. Our
schools are overwhelmingly safe places but for the
sake of the small number of children who do get
bullied we have to make even greater efforts to
tackle bullying behaviour. Over the last three years
the City of York Council has worked with the
NSPCC to campaign against bullying in our schools.
From buddy benches in primary schools, through to
theatre in education projects in secondary schools,
with leaflet campaigns, bus adverts and classroom
activities we have supported schools in their actions
to safeguard pupils.
HOW TO SPOT THE WARNING SIGNS
THAT YOUR CHILD MAY BE BULLIED
Children may truant from school, develop some
learning or behavioural difficulties or come home
with unexplained injuries.You may notice
unexpected changes in behaviour or eating habits.
You know your own child best and so will be
sensitive to the sorts of warning signs that might
mean your child is getting bullied. Our message is
that if you do think something is going wrong, talk
to your child and talk to the teachers. We have
shown that bullying can be tackled.

The work we have undertaken has produced

results.The number of children reporting
themselves as being regularly bullied has fallen quite
significantly over the last year. Amongst boys in
particular, there has been a real fall in the incidents
of bullying. We are delighted by this. For us it shows
that if you do something about a problem you can
make it better. For your children this means that if
they get bullied they must tell someone – that is
how it can be stopped. For parents it means take
your child’s worries up with the school – the school
will take the report seriously. For schools it means
that they can determine their own ethos – school
action can reduce bullying behaviours

Applying for admission to a school for your child is

a big thing.You need to know that which ever
school they go to that they will be safe when they
are there and, that if things do go wrong, that
school staff will deal with the issue quickly and for
the benefit of your child.
