At what age do children start school?At what age do children startschool?The information below will help you decide whenyour child should start school.Primary school age provision in SouthGloucestershire includes schools and academies.Academies are independent schools within thestate sector. In this booklet, the word ‘schools’includes both schools and academies unless adifferent procedure applies.Children aged fourSo that children can benefit from three full years ofinfant education, children are normally admitted toSouth Gloucestershire schools in the Septemberfollowing their fourth birthday. If your child wasborn between 1 September 2010 and 31 August2011, he/she is able to start school in September2015 and will join the reception class at the age offour.Children aged fiveLegally, children do not have to be in full timeeducation until the term following their fifthbirthday. This is the compulsory school age.Parents/carers can request that the date theirchild is admitted to school is deferred until later inthe school year or until the child reaches age fivein that school year.Deferred admissionParents/carers can request that their child attendspart-time until they reach compulsory school age,or that the date their child is admitted to schoolis deferred until later in the same academic year.Parents/carers should indicate at the time ofaccepting a place that they wish to defer theirchild’s admission until later in the school year.Deferral dates are set out as follows:Child’s fifthbirthday1 September –31 December1 January –31 MarchCan deferuntilJanuaryAprilIf I deferwhich classwill my childjoin?ReceptionclassReceptionclassParents/carers are advised to consider carefullythe implications of deferring their child’s start dateto school. Some parents/carers consider that itis better for their child to start school at the sametime as other children in their age group, i.e. fromthe beginning of the academic year (September)to help their child settle-in and adjust to schoollife.Delayed admissionParents/carers may request that their child isadmitted outside of their normal age group. It isthe responsibility of the admission authority of theschool to make the decision on the basis of thecircumstances of each case. Factors consideredby an admission authority when consideringadmission outside the normal age group include:❚❚❚the needs of the child and the possibleimpact on them of entering Year 1 withouthaving first attended the reception class;in the case of children born prematurely, thefact that they may have naturally fallen intothe lower age group if they had been born ontheir expected date of birth;whether delayed social, emotional or physicaldevelopment is adversely affecting theirreadiness for school.Parents/carers should think very carefully aboutthe implications of admitting their child outside thenormal age group and ensure that joining a loweryear group is in the best interests of the child.8Apply on-line at: www.southglos.gov.uk/admissions

What else do I need to considerin completing my application?Find out which schools serve yourareaSome schools serve Areas of Prime Responsibility(APR). Where an APR exists, the area indicatesto parents/carers the schools which normallyserve the home address. South GloucestershireCouncil gives priority to those children who livewithin the APR of the school, though there is noguarantee that places will be offered to all thoseliving within the APR. Maps showing the locationof each school are provided at the end of the“Infant, junior and primary schools” section alongwith details of the APR where appropriate. Furtherdetails for the schools in South Gloucestershireare also provided in this section. If you are unsurewhich schools serve your area please telephoneSouth Gloucestershire Council. Alternativelydetails of your five nearest schools and, whereappropriate, the APR for your home address canbe found on the council’s websitewww.southglos.gov.uk ‘Find my nearest’.We strongly recommend that you indicate apreference for a school that normally servesyour home address (your APR school or a localschool). This will increase your chances of gettinga place at a local school, in the event that yourhighest ranking preference cannot be met (if, forexample, your highest ranking school is oversubscribedfrom applicants living within thatschool’s APR or living closer than you and/or anyhigher priority applications). Please note that notall schools have an APR.Local sibling links – youngerbrothers and sistersMany parents/carers express a preference foryounger brothers and sisters to attend the sameschool. South Gloucestershire’s over-subscriptioncriteria for allocating places to community andvoluntary controlled schools gives some priorityto local siblings. You should be aware that a localsibling is not the same as a sibling. In SouthGloucestershire children are defined as localsiblings if:❚❚❚❚❚❚❚they live within the APR;or, where there is no APR, local siblings will bedeemed to be those living up to a maximumof two miles from school by straight linemeasurement;or, where the distance is over two miles butthe school is still the nearest school;they are full or half brother or sister; orthey are adoptive brother or sister; orthey are children of the same household; andthe older sibling is already in attendance atthe preferred school and will be in attendancein September 2015.You should note that your child will notbe considered under the local siblingcriterion if you do not meet the subcriteriaabove. It is therefore importantthat you state a preference for yourlocal/nearest school, particularly if youhave younger children who you wouldlike to attend the same school in lateryears.!Some schools receive moreapplications than there are places.While we will do our best, there is noguarantee that we will be able to offeryou a place at your preferred schooleven if you meet the admission criteria.What else do I need to consider in completing my application?✆ 01454 868008 cis@southglos.gov.uk13

Travel assistance to school – what you need to knowChildren with special educationalneeds (non-statemented andstatemented) or an education,health and care plan (EHC Plan)Pupils with special educational needs (nonstatemented)have the same entitlementto transport under legislation or SouthGloucestershire policies as any other SouthGloucestershire pupil.Children with Statements of Special EducationalNeeds who may have no entitlement on distancegrounds or normal South Gloucestershirepolicies will be considered under SouthGloucestershire Council’s Special EducationalNeeds transport policy. Transport is provided tothe nearest appropriate school, as defined bySouth Gloucestershire Council, with regard toa child’s particular disabilities. In specific casesentitlement may include access to a Guide Escort.In appropriate cases, a Guide Escort may beprovided to assist a child in walking to school,rather than provision of transport.Entitlement to assistance with transport forchildren with an Education, Health and CarePlan (EHC Plan) will be included as part of theassessment of their needs and there will be noneed to apply for transport separately.Will I be offered travel assistance toa faith school?Children entering faith-based primary schoolswill not be entitled to free home to schooltravel even when they are attending ondenominational grounds and regardless of thedistance from home.The only exception would be where the faithbasedprimary school is the nearest primaryschool of any status to home under the generaltransport eligibility rules mentioned above.Parents/carers considering admission to a faithbasedprimary school are advised to consider thejourney involved and how their child will travel toschool.Application process for assistancewith travel to schoolThe details of home to school transport policiesare available on-line atwww.southglos.gov.uk – search for ‘Transportto schools’.

How are places allocated?Each school has an admission number to reflectthe number of places that can be offered for newchildren joining the school. Sometimes schoolsreceive more applications than there are placesavailable. Where this happens, it is importantthat we are fair and consistent in the decisionswe make about who should be offered a place.To make these decisions the over-subscriptioncriteria are applied to each application.The over-subscription criteria are not the samefor all schools. Parents/carers are advised tocheck the relevant admission criteria for theschool(s) concerned. The over-subscriptioncriteria for community and voluntary controlledschools are determined by the council and areset out below. The over-subscription criteriafor voluntary aided schools and academiesare determined by the governing body ofthe individual school and are set out in the“Admission to voluntary aided primary schoolsand academies” section.Over-subscription criteria forcommunity and voluntarycontrolled schools in SouthGloucestershireBy law the council is required to have clear andpublished rules about how school places willbe allocated when the number of applicationsexceeds the places available.In South Gloucestershire, priority for admissionto community and voluntary controlled schools isas follows. Parents/carers should also refer to thenotes to the over-subscription criteria provided inthis section.1. Children in Public Care and Previously inPublic Care.2. Local siblings (see definition).3. Geographical considerations (includingreference to Areas of Prime Responsibilitywhere appropriate).4. Tie breaker.Notes to the over-subscription criteria forcommunity and voluntary controlled schools:1. Children in Public Care* are those lookedafter by a local authority within the meaning ofSection 22 of the Children Act 1989.Children Previously in Public Care* are thosewho were looked after, but ceased to be sobecause they were adopted 1 (or became subjectto a residence order 2 or special guardianshiporder 3 ).* Documentation will need to be provided to SouthGloucestershire Council as proof of care status.1 Under the terms of the Adoption and Children Act 2002.2 Under the terms of the Children Act 1989.3 Section 14A of the Children Act 1989.2. Local siblings: Children are defined as localsiblings if:❚❚❚❚❚❚❚they live within the Area of PrimeResponsibility;or, where there is no Area of PrimeResponsibility, local siblings will be deemedto be those living up to a maximum of twomiles from school as measured in a straightline;or, where the distance is over two miles butthe school is still the nearest school;they are full or half brother or sister; orthey are adoptive brother or sister; orthey are children of the same household; andthe older sibling is already in attendance atthe preferred school and will be in attendancein September 2015 (statutory school ageonly).For the purposes of the local sibling criterion, apaired infant and junior school will be treated asone school.How are places allocated?✆ 01454 868008 cis@southglos.gov.uk17

How are places allocated?3. Geographical considerations: Where thereare more applications for children living within anArea of Prime Responsibility than places available,priority will be given to applications from withinthe defined area who live closest to the preferredschool. After places have been allocated fromwithin the Area of Prime Responsibility, anyremaining places will be allocated to thosechildren living closest to the school. Distancesfrom home to school are measured in a straightline between the address point of the child’shome and a central point within the main schoolbuilding using the local authority’s computerisedmapping system.In the case of South Gloucestershire infant andprimary schools which do not have Areas of PrimeResponsibility, places will be allocated to thosechildren living closest to the school. Distancesfrom home to school are measured in a straightline between the address point of the child’shome and a central point within the main schoolbuilding using the local authority’s computerisedmapping system.!Please note: In determining whichapplicants live closest to school,distances from home to school will bemeasured in a straight line between theaddress point of the child’s home anda central point within the main schoolbuilding. Applications for assistancewith transport will be assessed usingthe nearest available walking route.4. Tie breaker: Where it does not prove possibleto resolve allocations to an over-subscribedschool by the application of criteria 1-3, anyremaining places will be allocated by drawinglots. Lots will be drawn by a senior officer of SouthGloucestershire Council who is independent ofthe school admissions process.Home addressThe home address is considered to be wherethe child lives most of the time with his or herparent(s) or carer(s). South GloucestershireCouncil cannot accept an address of a business,relative, friend, childminder, a temporary addressor an address of a house it is intended to moveto. The only exceptions are for children of UKservice personnel for whom special arrangementsapply. South Gloucestershire Council reserves theright to seek documentary evidence to support aclaim of residence. Where the child spends timewith each parent/carer equally at two differentaddresses, South Gloucestershire Council will askfor proof of the arrangements and will determinethe appropriate address to be used in allocating aschool place. In reaching this decision, evidencemay be requested to show the address to whichany Child Benefit is paid and from which thechild is registered with a medical GP. Any otherevidence provided by parents/carers will also beconsidered in reaching a decision on the homeaddress for admissions purposes.Admission to all year groups duringthe school year 2015/2016All other applications for places for SouthGloucestershire community and voluntarycontrolled primary schools during the year2015/2016, including those to other year groups,will be considered using the criteria set out at thebeginning of this section in accordance with thein-year admission arrangements.Children of multiple birthsWhere the last child to qualify for a place is a twinor child of multiple birth, the place will be offeredto one child and the other child(ren) consideredunder the admission criteria as exceptions to theinfant class size regulations where relevant.Primary schools in SouthGloucestershire with ResourceBasesPlacement at Special Resource Bases is decidedcentrally by the Department for Children, Adults& Health. Children placed at a Resource Basewill be offered a place within the admissionnumber and are not considered to be permittedexceptions to infant class size regulations. Theaim of the Department is for full inclusion inmainstream activities wherever possible.18Apply on-line at: www.southglos.gov.uk/admissions

Where an applicant decides toplace their child(ren)’s name on a waiting list, it isthe responsibility of the applicant to keep the localauthority informed of updated contact details.Children who are the subject of a direction bythe local authority to admit or who are allocatedto a school in accordance with the Fair AccessProtocol will take precedence over those on awaiting list.General informationParents/carers can make enquiries concerningthe availability of school places within theadministrative area of South Gloucestershireby contacting South Gloucestershire Council’sAdmissions & Transport Team. Own admissionauthority schools will, on request, provideinformation to the local authority on the availabilityof school places.26Apply on-line at: www.southglos.gov.uk/admissions

A child’s home address is considered to be wherethe child lives most of the time with his or herparents) or carer(s). An admission authority mayrequest documentary evidence of a child’s homeaddress.An offer of a school place may be withdrawn insome circumstances:❚where the application was fraudulent ordeliberately misleading; orIn-year admissions❚❚where a parent/carer had not responded tothe offer within a reasonable time; orwhere it is possible to offer a higher namedpreference.Once an admission authority has determined itsadmission arrangements, a copy will be publishedon the website and displayed on that website forthe whole offer year (the academic year in whichoffers for places are made).Children with Statements of Special EducationalNeeds (SEN) or an Education, Health and CarePlan (EHC Plan) are placed in schools through thearrangements set out in the SEN Code of Practiceand associated regulations and not the generaladmission arrangements.✆ 01454 868008 cis@southglos.gov.uk27

Admissions in other circumstancesAdmissions in othercircumstancesChildren of UK service personnel(UK Armed Forces)South Gloucestershire Council recognisesthe particular needs of children of UK servicepersonnel (UK Armed Forces). The local authorityensures that the needs of these children are takeninto account by:❚❚allocating a school place in advance if theapplication is accompanied by an officialgovernment letter which declares a relocationdate and a Unit postal address or quarteringaddress.accepting a Unit postal address, or, ifappropriate, a quartering area address (theaddress of the closest house in the relevantquartering area), for applications from servicepersonnel in the absence of a new homepostal address. A quartering address willbe used only where the housing authoritiesconfirm in writing that a house will be offeredin the area.Fair access for children admittedoutside the normal admissionsroundSouth Gloucestershire Council has a Fair AccessProtocol which provides for children admitted toschool outside the normal admissions round. Theprotocol exists to ensure that access to educationis secured quickly for children who do not havea school place and that all schools take their fairshare of vulnerable children or those who arehard to place. The protocol will be used to placechildren during the school year and not at thebeginning of the school year as part of the mainadmission round. The majority of children willbe admitted to school under normal admissionprocedures.The protocol applies to the following groups ofchildren:❚children from the criminal justice systemor Pupil Referral Units who need to bereintegrated into mainstream education;❚accepting a late application from UK servicepersonnel as ‘on time’ where a notification ofposting has been received after the closingdate and before the date of exchange ofinformation with other admission authorities.❚❚children who have been out of education fortwo months or more;children of Gypsies, Roma, Travellers,refugees and asylum seekers;❚❚considering an application on the criterionof ‘local sibling’ where another child inthe family has been offered a place at thepreferred school and the Unit postal addressor quartering address is within the Areaof Prime Responsibility for the preferredschool or, in the absence of an Area of PrimeResponsibility, is within two miles of thepreferred school.wherever possible, children of UK servicepersonnel will be offered a place at thepreferred local school but taking into accountthe admission number for the school andinfant class size limits.❚❚❚❚children who are homeless;children with unsupportive family backgroundsfor whom a place has not been sought;children who are carers; andchildren with special educational needs,disabilities or medical conditions (but withouta statement).Whilst some children in the above categoriesmay find it difficult to secure a place, the majorityof children will be dealt with through normaladmission procedures.28Apply on-line at: www.southglos.gov.uk/admissions

Where a governing body does not wish to admita child with challenging behaviour outside thenormal admissions round, even though placesare available, it must refer the case to the localauthority for action under the Fair AccessProtocol. This will normally be appropriate onlywhere a school has a particularly high proportionof children with challenging behaviour orpreviously excluded children.Admission authorities must not refuse to admit achild thought to be potentially disruptive, or likelyto exhibit challenging behaviour, on the groundsthat the child is first to be assessed for specialeducational needs.The Fair Access Protocol does not apply tochildren in public care, children previouslyin public care or a child with a Statement ofSpecial Educational Needs naming the school inquestion, or an Education, Health and Care Planas these children must be admitted.Should a vulnerable child require a place at aschool, they may be considered for admissioneven if the school has no places. Childrenadmitted under the terms of the protocol willalso take priority over any children on the waitinglist. Access to a school place via the protocolis normally by referral. Relevant professionalsdealing with your child will guide you through theprocess.Early/late transfer of childrenIt is South Gloucestershire Council policy thatchildren should move from one year group toanother with their chronological age group,including children with special educational needsand those with English as an additional language.Exceptionally, a child may be educated with apeer group one year younger or one year olderthan their chronological age group. This needscareful thought. Once placed in a youngerage group it is difficult, if not impossible, for achild to return to their chronological age groupsuccessfully. Equally, once accelerated it is verydifficult for a child to return to their age groupwithout feeling demoralised. If you are seekingearly/late admission to a South Gloucestershireschool you should submit the request forconsideration to South Gloucestershire Council’sDepartment for Children, Adults & Health.A child without a Statement of Special EducationalNeeds or an Education, Health and Care Planmay be educated with a peer group one yearyounger if there is an identified educational needand particular conditions are met. Further detailsare available from the school concerned and theDepartment for Children, Adults & Health.Admissions in other circumstancesFull details of the Fair Access Protocol areavailable on the council’s website atwww.southglos.gov.uk/admissions.Please be aware that there is noguarantee that a place will be offeredat a school of your preference and youstill have the right of appeal regardlessof your child’s circumstances (except invery limited circumstances, for exampleif your child has been twice excludedfrom school).✆ 01454 868008 cis@southglos.gov.uk29
