ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS
for
LYNN GROVE HIGH SCHOOL

SEPTEMBER 2013

In deciding which pupils are to be admitted at the transfer age, priority is given to applications in the following order.

  1. Pupils who are deemed to be "looked after".1
  2. Pupils with a statement of special educational needs that specifies Lynn Grove High School.
  3. Up to 10% of pupils on the basis of aptitude or ability in Design Technology.2
  4. Children with a sibling attending the school at the time of transfer.3
  5. Pupils in the transfer age group at either Woodlands, Wroughton, Hillside and Homefield Primary Schools.
  6. Pupils in the transfer group outside the feeder schools.

If all pupils within any of the above criteria cannot be offered a place, preference will be given to those according to the nearness of their home to Lynn Grove High School. This is calculated on a straight line “as the crow flies” basis using an Ordnance Survey Map. (Random allocation will be used as a tie-break to decide who has highest priority for admission if the distance between two children’s homes and the school is the same. This process will be independently verified).

*A looked after child is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions, or (c) a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after, became subject to an adoption, residence, or special guardianship order.

*Parents who wish to apply for their child to be considered for admittance under the criteria for aptitude or ability in Design Technology (up to 10% of intake) must complete an application form available from the school from 10th September. When completed it should be returned to the Headteacher by 30th September of the year prior to transfer. (The school will set a test for these pupils and will make every reasonable effort to inform parents of the outcome by 31st October, prior to parents’ submission of the Common Application Form to the Local Authority).

*Sibling is defined in these arrangements as children who live as brother or sister in the same house, including natural brothers or sisters, adopted siblings, stepbrothers or sisters and foster brothers and sisters.

An Independent Appeals’ Panel will hear appeals against decisions not to admit.
