| Reason for consultation |
In accordance with the School Admissions Code (2014), admission authorities are required to consult on any proposed changes to the admission arrangements. Telford & Wrekin Council is the admission authority for all Telford community and voluntary controlled schools. The Council is consulting on proposed changes to the admission arrangements for entry to school in the academic year 2020/21 for Telford & Wrekin’s community and voluntary controlled nursery, infant, junior, primary and secondary schools. |
| Overview |
We are proposing the addition of Early Years and Pupil Premium and Children of Staff as over subscription criteria. In summary, the oversubscription order will be the following 1. Children who are, or were, previously looked after by Telford & Wrekin, or by any other local authority 2. Children previously in state care outside of England and have ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted 3. In area children a) Medical b) Siblings c) Early years pupil premium or pupil premium d) Any other in-area children, as measured by straight line distance to the school 4. Out of area children a) Medical b) Siblings c) Early years premium or pupil premium 5. Children of staff 6. Any other out of area children, as measured by straight line distance to the school Please note: in the cases of Donnington Wood Church of England Junior School, Newport Church of England Junior School and Wrockwardine Wood Church of England Junior School there is an additional criterion which is applied before the consideration of in area children - this is those children who have attended the linked infant schools. We are also consulting on: Propose that a new attendance area be determined in the north east of the borough to incorporate the existing attendance areas for Redhill and Priorslee Primary Academies and the area around the new housing development in the north eastern part of the borough. |
