If your child is already attending
an infant or primary school and you wish to apply for a place at a
junior school for the year starting in September 2008, then you
will need to complete a silver application form and return to
either your preferred junior school or directly to the Admissions
Team, Children and Young People, PO Box 440, Civic Offices,
Telford, TF3 4WF.
This must be done by
30 November 2007 .
Forms are available either from your child's current school or
directly from the Admissions Team.

Your online application form must be submitted by

For admission to Junior
Schools priority is given to children who have attended the
linked infant school. So, if a junior school has more applications
than places available, places will be allocated up to the admission
number in the following priority order:
1 Those children who are in public
care looked after by Telford & Wrekin or any other local
authority; and then
2 Those children who have attended
the linked infant school in Year 2.
If places are unavailable for all of
these children, places will be given first to:
a) children who live in the school's
defined attendance area; and then
b) those children who have
exceptional health reasons where there is written medical evidence
that admission to the school is essential for their medical well
being; and then
c) those children who will have on
the day of admission a brother(s), sister(s), step brother(s), step
sister(s), half brother(s) or half sister(s) living as a family at
the same address and who attend the school; and then
d) other children who live in the
school's defined attendance area; and then
3
a) children who live outside the
school's attendance area on health grounds where there is written
medical evidence that admission to the school is essential for the
medical well being of the child; and then
b) children who live outside the
school's defined attendance area and who will have on the day of
admission a brother(s) or sister(s) step brother(s), step
sister(s), half brother(s) or half sister(s) living as a family at
the same address and who attend the school; and then
c) other children who live outside
the school's defined attendance area.
If there are insufficient places for
all children in categories 1, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 3a, 3b or 3c, places
will be allocated on the basis of relative proximity and ease of
access to the school, as measured by the straight line distance
between home and school, using Telford & Wrekin's Geographical
Information System.
Any places which remain available
will then be allocated to children who have not been attending the
linked infant school in Year 2 in the priority order as detailed
above.
Linked infant and junior schools in
Telford & Wrekin where the above rules apply are:
Donnington Wood Infant/Donnington

Church Aston Infant School does not
have a linked Junior School. Most Year 2 pupils transfer to
Moorfield Primary School. Moorfield has 17 additional places in
Year 3 and their Key Stage 2 admissions policy gives a priority to
children who have attended Church Aston Infant School. Parents of
Year 2 children attending Church Aston Infant School may however
express a preference for a school or schools other than Moorfield
if they so wish.
You will hear whether your
application has been successful in March 2008. If it has been
unsuccessful you have the same options of review and appeal open to
you as described on page 7 sections 2.2 to 2.5 of the information
for parents'
booklet. |
