A glossary of
terms used in this guide
The information contained in this guide relates to the
admission of children to reception classes for the
2008/9 academic year. It also applies to children who
will transfer from infant school to junior school in
September 2008.
Enhanced-resource schools are mainstream schools
with additional resources, such as extra staff, for
certain children with Statements of Special Educational
Needs. Pupils are not generally taught separately and
are included in the mainstream classes.
Nursery schools generally cater for children between
the ages of three and four.
Special schools are attended by children with Statements
of Special Educational Needs. Special schools provide
for pupils whose disability requires a more comprehensive
approach than a mainstream school or an enhancedresource school can provide. Some experience of
mainstream school may be possible. The council
handles admissions for all special schools.
Within the primary phase of education, there are
three types of school:
Infant schools generally cater for pupils aged
between five and seven. However, if the school has a
nursery unit, it will cater for pupils aged between
three and seven.
Junior schools cater for pupils aged between seven
and 11.
Primary schools generally cater for pupils aged
between five and 11. However, if the school has a
nursery unit, it will cater for pupils aged between
three and 11.
Community and voluntary controlled schools are
funded by Derbyshire County Council with the
headteacher and governing body responsible for
running the school. The admissions policy is
determined and administered by the county council.
Voluntary aided schools are jointly funded by
Derbyshire County Council and a voluntary organisation,
usually a church diocesan board. The headteacher and
governing body run the school. The admissions policy
is determined and administered by the governing body.
Catholic schools are voluntary aided schools.
Foundation schools are funded by Derbyshire
County Council but responsibility for running the
school rests with the headteacher and governing
body. The admissions policy is determined and
administered by the governing body.
All of the above schools are called mainstream schools.
Page 2
The normal area is a defined geographical area, made
up of the area around the school, which the school
serves. You can enter your postcode into an interactive
tool on our website, www.derbyshire.gov.uk/admissions
to find out what your normal area school is. You can
also find out from the Admissions and Appeals Team
by emailing admissions@derbyshire.gov.uk or ringing
the Admissions and Appeals Team switchboard on
01629 537479 or one of its direct line numbers given
on page four. The Eckington area is an exception to
the rule. Please contact the Admissions and Appeals
Team to find out more.
If you consider your child Catholic, it means he or she
is also resident in the normal area of a Catholic school.
If you are unsure about your child’s status regarding
the Catholic school serving your area, contact the
diocese for advice. The number is on page four.
We use the word parent throughout the guide. It
means anyone who has a parental responsibility in
accordance with the terms of the Children Act 1989.
A few children with special educational needs require
a detailed assessment by us. This is called a statutory
assessment of special educational needs. The child’s
requirements are set out in a document called a
Statement of Special Educational Needs.
The published admission number is the set number
of places available at a school.

STARTING SCHOOL
Letter from
Councillor Alan Charles
Starting school for the first time, or the first day at a new
school, are important milestones in every child’s life.

How does it work?
Please read all the information contained in the
guide before making an application. The council is
not presently able to write to parents reminding
them of when their child should start school.
The form included in your pack is the only application
form you should complete to apply for a school place.
You fill in one application form only, no matter how many
schools you want to apply for. There is no need to fill out a
separate form for each school. Only make one application
online, by phone or paper – not one of each. Derbyshire
County Council acts as a clearing house for admitting all
pupils to Derbyshire primary, infant and junior schools.
If you are a parent wanting a place for your child in a
Derbyshire primary, infant or junior school the information
contained in this guide explains how you can apply
for a primary school place for your child.
Even if you have already approached a school or feel
you have put your child’s name down at a school –
that is not a formal application. A formal application
can only be made by following the process explained
in this guide.
You can apply online. It’s quick and it’s free. See
www.derbyshire.gov.uk/admissions
Or you can apply by phone. Ring Call Derbyshire on
08 456 058 058. The call centre is open between 8am
and 8pm, Monday to Friday, and Saturdays 9.30am to
4pm. Calls are charged at local rate wherever you live
in Derbyshire.
The Admissions and Appeals Team,
Children and Younger Adults,
Derbyshire County Council,
County Hall,
Matlock,
Derbyshire DE4 3AG
Make sure your application is in by
3.30pm on Friday 14 December 2007.
Application forms for a place in junior school will be
distributed via Derbyshire infant schools in the week
beginning 29 October 2007. The closing date for parents
to return forms is 3.30pm on 14 December 2007.
Applications are needed from all parents, including those
who want their child to attend their normal area school.
Supplementary Forms
Some voluntary aided and foundation schools may want you
to fill in other paperwork in addition to an application you
make to us. This is called a supplementary form. Look at the
school’s prospectus to see if this is the case. This is so that
they can apply their own admission criteria. For example,
they might want proof of your address or proof that your child
has been baptised. Any additional paperwork of that type
should be returned to the school by the closing date. This
supplementary paperwork is not instead of our application
form. You will still need to make an application to us.
LIST OF SCHOOLS
You may prefer to fill in the paper application form
that came with this guide. You can fill in your
preferences and hand the form in to a Derbyshire
primary school. Or post it to:
Transfer from infant to junior school
When children are due to leave infant school and need to move
to a different school for their junior education, parents must make
an application to the council in the same way as described for a
reception place. The application form for infant to junior transfer
has been pre-printed with some of your child’s details and, if
applicable, your normal area school. A place in a particular infant
school does not guarantee a place at the associated junior
school. Similarly, a place at a particular junior or primary school
does not guarantee a place at a particular secondary school
except in the Eckington area (see pages 11 to 12).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
We invite you to state preferences for one, two or
three schools and give your reasons. We recognise
that in some parts of the county multiple choices may
not be appropriate.

Important points
• Get your application in on time – via the internet, call centre,
Derbyshire primary school or post. If you miss the deadline of 3.30pm
on Friday 14 December we will not be able to consider your application
until the ones that we received on time have been dealt with.
• Don’t name the same school more than once as a preference – this
will not increase your chances of a place.
• We will withdraw a school place where false information has been
used to secure an offer.
• Think about listing your normal area school.
You may want to consider including the normal area school as one of your
preferences, though it does not have to be your first preference. If you do not
include the normal area school as one of your preferences, it may fill up with
pupils who have said they would prefer to go to that school. This could mean
the only school with available places may be further away and could mean you
have to pay for transport to a distant school. For pupils moving from infant to
junior education the normal area school is given on the paper application form.
• Find out which is your normal area school. You can enter your postcode
into an interactive tool on our website www.derbyshire.gov.uk/admissions
to find out the name of your normal area school.
• If you do not make an application you cannot assume your child
will get an automatic place at your normal area school.
We will first offer places to those who have expressed a preference. If you
do not make an application we will only be able to give your child a place
at your normal area school – if places are still available. If your normal area
school is full we will give your child a place in the nearest school which has
room. This could mean you paying transport costs to a distant school.
• Consider how your child will get to school when making your preferences.
You are responsible for getting your child to school. If your child gets a
place at a distant school, this could mean that you pay transport costs.
Details of the transport policy are on page 14. Read these carefully
before making your preferences.
• Only make one application online, by phone or on paper.
• Late applications received after the closing date will be included only if
the reason for the delay is considered exceptional and appropriate evidence
has been provided. Other late applications will not be considered until after
applications received by the closing date have been dealt with.

INTRODUCTION
Apply online. See www.derbyshire.gov.uk/admissions
Who decides the rules?
In community schools and voluntary controlled schools,
it is Derbyshire County Council that decides the rules
for getting places.
What are the rules for getting a school place?
(the rules are known as ‘admissions criteria’)
Please note, attendance at a particular nursery gives
no priority for a place at an infant or primary school.
Similarly, attendance at a particular infant school gives
no priority for admission to a particular junior or primary
school, except in the Eckington area (see below).
In law there is no automatic right to a place in any
particular school.
Where we cannot offer a Derbyshire child a place at any
of the chosen schools, he or she will be allocated a place
at the normal area school – if places are still available – or
the next nearest school with places available.
You should bear in mind that school admissions are
considered on an annual basis – so it is not possible
to confirm that a place is available at a school any
earlier than during the year before your child will join.
Each year primary schools have to admit eligible pupils
on request up to their published admission number (as
shown in the list at the back of the guide) which takes
account of the amount of accommodation available.
Community and voluntary controlled schools
Individual pupils who have a Statement of Special
Educational Needs which can best be met in the school
will be given priority where so determined by the county
council in consultation with the governing body.
In deciding on admissions to all community and
voluntary controlled schools in Derbyshire, the
following order of priority will be adopted. The
Eckington area, however, has different rules. These
are set out under the heading ‘Eckington Area’ below.
1. ‘Looked after’ children.
2. Children living in the normal area served by the school
at the time of application and admission (including those
living in another council’s area). For a definition of living
in the normal area see note* on page 12.
3. Children not living in the normal area served by the school
but who have brothers or sisters attending the school at the
time of their admission. See note ** on page 12.
LIST OF SCHOOLS
If you are a parent seeking a place for your child at a
Derbyshire school we will offer you one place at the
highest-priority school for which your child is eligible.
Admissions criteria
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Under the 1996 Education Act, you have a legal right
to express a preference for which school you want
your child to attend. The county council and school
governors have a general duty to meet this preference
– as long as it does not “prejudice the provision of
efficient education or the efficient use of resources” or
the council or governors are required to take extra
measures under the Key Stage 1 class size legislation.
As the published admission number covers all
admissions throughout the school year, it may be that
not all the places may be allocated for admission in
September. This may be because the school has more
than one date during the year when it takes new pupils.
The governors must comply with the legal requirement
that no infant classes size may exceed 30 pupils.
APPLYING FOR A PLACE
APPLYING FOR A PLACE
In voluntary aided Church of England, Catholic and
Methodist schools, as well as Foundation schools the
governors decide admission rules for their school.
STARTING SCHOOL
The rules for getting a place

4. In the case of voluntary controlled church schools, children
whose parents request a place on religious grounds. ***
5. Other children whose parents have requested a place.
Where, in the case of 3, 4, or 5 above, choices have
to be made between children satisfying the same
criteria, those children living nearest to the school
(measured by the nearest available route) will be given
preference. See note **** on page 12.
Eckington Area
Following a legal ruling some years ago different
arrangements operate in the Eckington area.
The admissions criteria for schools in the Eckington
area are as follows:

“Living in the normal area”, in (2) above is defined as
the child having full-time residence in a property which
is the child's only or main residence. Documentary
evidence including proof of actual permanent residency
at the property concerned may be required. Please note
that where the county council has reasonable grounds
for believing the home address is not the child's only or
main residence it reserves the right to carry out
investigations which may include visits to the property.
The county council reserves the right to withdraw any
offer of a school place which has been obtained as a
result of misleading or fraudulent information.
note**
The term brother or sister includes:
(a) a half-brother and/or a half-sister
(b) a legally adopted child being regarded as a brother
or sister
(c) a step-brother and/or step-sister residing in the
same family unit
note***
Parents seeking a place at a voluntary controlled
school on religious grounds should obtain a letter of
support from a Minister, Priest or Pastor or Religious
leader if the child is a member of another Christian
Church or World Faith, who knows the family and can
confirm regular attendance at public worship. [Regular
worship is defined as attendance at public worship at
least once a month.] This must be included with the
application. Where appropriate baptismal certificates
should also be supplied. Exceptional circumstances
will be considered if explained in writing by the
relevant religious leader.
note****
The county council has a Geographic Information
System (GIS) to measure the nearest available route. It
is measured by a standard walking distance calculated
to within two metres. This measurement is taken from
the postal address file, normally the house front door.
INTRODUCTION
Apply online. See www.derbyshire.gov.uk/admissions
Please note
A place cannot be guaranteed for any child whose
parents apply after the closing date. This includes a child
who moves into a school's normal area after that date.
Withdrawing an offer
For admission procedures to be fair it is important
that all the information you provide is accurate. If we
find that any information provided by parents is
misleading or fraudulent, the county council reserves
the right to withdraw any offer of a school place.
Do schools have
waiting lists?
You can get more information and make your appeal
online at www.derbyshire.gov.uk/admissions.
Details of the appeals procedure for all Derbyshire
primary schools can be obtained by contacting Call
Derbyshire on 08 456 058 058.
The decision reached by the independent panel will be
binding on the council and the parents. A further
application in respect of the same school will not be
entertained in the same academic year unless significant
and material changes in circumstances arise.
Infant (Key Stage 1 and Foundation) Appeals
By law, subject to certain limited exceptions, no infant
class may contain more than 30 pupils. Infant classes
are those in which the majority of pupils will reach the
age of five, six or seven during the school year.
Admissions authorities can refuse to admit a child if
to do so would require the school to take action such
as employ an extra teacher or build an extra
classroom to keep infant classes at 30 or less.
In such circumstances should parents choose to
exercise their right to appeal, the Appeals Panel is
only allowed to look at the following matters.
LIST OF SCHOOLS
Derbyshire County Council maintains waiting lists for
all oversubscribed Derbyshire schools. Waiting lists
will be set up on 28 March 2008 and maintained until
30 September 2008. Your child’s name would automatically
be placed on a list if they had not been offered a place
and you had given that school a higher priority than the
school at which your child has been offered a place. A
vacancy arises only when the number of offers to a
particular school falls below the published admission
number. Priority on the waiting list is determined
according to the published admission criteria. The date
of application does not affect waiting list order.
When parents are unable to obtain a place for their
child at the school they want, they can appeal against
the decision to an appeal panel independent of the
council and the school.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Voluntary aided and foundation schools
The criteria for admissions to aided and foundation
schools are decided by each school’s governing body
and are listed briefly on pages 53 to 77 of this guide.
Full details can be obtained directly from the school.

APPLYING FOR A PLACE
APPLYING FOR A PLACE
In situations where late applications are received and
the school’s admission number has been reached, but
subsequently a place becomes available – if choices
need to be made between normal area applications,
those children living nearest to the school (measured
by the nearest available route) will be given preference.
STARTING SCHOOL
For schools, the grid reference is again taken from the
postal address file and will be the centre of the school.
Firstly, whether the admissions authority applied its
own rules which were published in the admission
arrangements. If the admissions authority
contravened its own rules, either deliberately or by
mistake, then the parents’ appeal can succeed, but
only if their child would have gained admission had
the rules been applied properly.
Secondly, whether the admissions authority acted
unreasonably. The law defines “unreasonable” very
carefully in these cases. For the decision to be
“unreasonable” it must be completely illogical, or not
based on the facts of the case.

How will my child get to school?
Transport to the normal
area school
We provide assistance with transport for full time infant,
junior and primary school pupils who do not live within
statutory walking distance of their normal area school.
This distance is two miles for children under eight and
three miles for children over eight. It is measured by the
shortest available route.
Bus passes or refunds are issued where appropriate
and special contract transport is arranged if public
transport is not available.
There may be exceptions to the transport rules if we agree
that the route to the normal area school is dangerous for a
child, accompanied if necessary, to undertake on foot.
Spare places on a contract bus may be provided on a
concessionary basis for children who are not normally
entitled to free transport, however a fare will be charged.
Transport to faith schools
Parents choosing a voluntary aided faith school on
religious grounds may be eligible to receive
assistance with transport if the chosen school is the
normal area voluntary school (in most cases the
nearest voluntary school) and the school is outside
the walking distance as explained above.
In addition, in the case of Catholic schools, only Roman
Catholic baptised children are eligible to receive
assistance with travel. In all such requests baptismal
certificates are required as necessary evidence.
Transport to other schools
Parents who send their children to a school which is
not their normal area school will not normally receive
assistance with transport (children living outside the
county attending Derbyshire schools should apply to
their home council). However, assistance with
transport will be provided when a child attends a
school, other than the normal area school, which is
Page 14
beyond the two/three-mile limit but is closer to the
child’s home than the normal area school.
For more information please refer to our transport
policy available on www.derbyshire.gov.uk.
If you are in receipt of benefit
From September 2007, children of primary age who are
entitled to free school meals or whose families get the
maximum level of working tax credit are entitled to free
transport to the nearest suitable school where the
distance from home is more than two miles. This
distance is measured along the nearest available route.
Each year, we check whether parents are still eligible for
transport assistance. If parents are no longer eligible, for
example because they no longer receive relevant benefits,
parents may have to meet their child’s transport costs.
Transport for pupils with
special educational needs
and/or disabilities
Transport will be provided for pupils with special
educational needs and/or disabilities who attend their
nearest school, where the journey exceeds the
statutory walking distances as outlined above or in
other cases in accordance with the council’s special
educational needs transport policy.
Provision of transport will not generally be made if the
preferred school is further away from the child’s home than
another school considered appropriate by the council.
For more information please refer to our special
educational needs transport policy available on
www.derbyshire.gov.uk
Please contact the Special Needs Section at County
Hall, Matlock, DE4 3AG (Tel: 01629 580000 extension

Early years
education
All children have the right to a free early years
education place in the term following their third
birthday, subject to the availability of places. Free
places are available for up to 15 hours per week over
a minimum of three days and may be taken with one
or two early years providers. Enquiries about early
years settings should be made to the Children’s
Information Service, Children and Younger Adults
Department, Derbyshire County Council, County Hall,
Matlock, DE4 3AG. You can call them on 01629
585585 or visit www.childcarelink.gov.uk.
Parents may choose their free early years provision
from a range of council-run, private, voluntary or
independent educational settings or a combination of
these. Some parts of Derbyshire provide council-run
nursery schools or classes. Children may be
considered for a place on a part-time basis of up to
five sessions per week, but usually they cannot join
until the start of the term following their third birthday.
Parents should contact the head teacher of the relevant
school or setting which they wish their child to attend,
remembering that there is often a waiting list. If too many
places are requested in council-run schools or nurseries,
governors will use the following order of priorities:
1) Children who are on the child protection “at risk” register.
2) Children who are – or are likely to be – the subject
of a statement of special educational needs.
3) Children whose families are suffering severe social
and psychological stress which could significantly
affect the child’s development.
4) Other children from the normal area of the school.
5) Other children from the wider area served by the school.
In the case of 4) and 5) above, priority will be given to
those children who have had their fourth birthday.
Please note:
Parents have no automatic right to a nursery place for
their child in their normal area school. Parents should
not be allocated places in more than one council-run
school for their child. The rules on admissions and
appeals, as explained on pages 11 to 13, do not
apply to nursery schools and classes.
Page 18
Transferring from
early years to
primary education
Children who have received early years provision or
attended a council run nursery school or class will
normally go into full-time infant education in
September or January in the school year in which
they become five years old, depending upon when
their birthday falls as outlined below.
Primary education
By law, you must arrange for your child to start school
full-time at the beginning of the term* (in this context,
a term is as defined in legislation, see below) after his
or her fifth birthday – unless you make arrangements
to educate your child otherwise than at school.
However, Derbyshire County Council has determined
that all Derbyshire community and voluntary
controlled schools admit children full-time as follows:
• A child whose fifth birthday falls on or between 1
September and 30 April will start school in September.
• A child whose fifth birthday falls on or between 1
May and 31 August will start school in January.
A small number of schools have the council’s approval
to admit children at the beginning of each term*.
Foundation and voluntary aided schools decide their
own admission arrangements.
On the offer of a place you have the right to defer
admission until your child reaches statutory school
age, provided the place is taken up within the same
academic year.
As all children now receive at least two terms* of fulltime provision in a reception class or nursery, part-time
admission is no longer thought necessary.
INTRODUCTION
Apply online. See www.derbyshire.gov.uk/admissions
A two-week phasing-in period at the beginning of fulltime education is acceptable.
Following a major investment by the government,
Derbyshire County Council, with its partners, is on
target in developing a number of children’s centres
which will be expected to provide a range of services
to children under five and their families. This will
include the integration of early years education with
full day care in some areas as well as a range of other
services such as family support, health services and
links to Jobcentre Plus, local training and adult
education providers. There will be 42 across the
county by 2008.
APPLYING FOR A PLACE
*In this context “term” relates to one third of the
academic year i.e. Autumn, Spring and Summer.
Parents should note that Derbyshire County Council
operates a six term year. Full details of which are given
on page 21, for example, Derbyshire’s Autumn Term 1
and 2 are equivalent to one term as defined in legislation.

Children with
special
educational
needs
The form included in this pack should not be used to
apply for school places for children with a Statement
of Special Educational Needs. Parents should contact
the Special Needs Section of Derbyshire County Council
on 01629 580000 extension 6547 or 6531.
It is Derbyshire’s policy to meet children’s needs,
wherever possible, in mainstream schools including
those schools with enhanced-resource status.
Places at enhanced-resource and special schools are
given to certain pupils with Statements of Special
Educational Needs. Most children with statements will
be educated in mainstream schools.
The term ‘special educational needs’ is used when
children have a learning difficulty or disability, which
makes it harder for them to learn than most children
of the same age.
A child with special educational needs may need extra
help or different help from other pupils of the same
age. Only a few children with special educational needs
require a detailed assessment by us. This is called a
statutory assessment of special educational needs.
A Statement of Special Educational Needs describes
your child's needs and how they should be met. It
also gives you the opportunity to express a
preference for which maintained school your child
should attend.

Early transfer
We believe it is better for children to stay within their
peer group instead of being accelerated through the
education system, which may lead to difficulties later.
In a very small number of cases a child may be
admitted in the year before they would normally
transfer. Such a decision will be based on information
from the child's present school indicating:
• Exceptional ability and progress on National
Curriculum and other measures of school attainment.
• Exceptional social, language, physical and
emotional maturity for their age, so that they will
be able to cope with an early transfer.
Where an early transfer is being considered, schools can
request advice, which may include individual assessment
of the child by the Educational Psychology Service.
Parents should consider carefully the full impact of early
transfer for their child and consult the head teacher.
Ultimately, the decision rests with the head teacher who
will reach a decision based on advice sought and what
is considered to be in the best interests of the child.
School charging policy
Charges may not be made for any cost associated with
anything your child does during the school day. Schools
may ask for voluntary contributions for school visits.
Each governing body is required to tell parents details
of the school’s charging and remissions policy.
Will my child have to wear
uniform?
Uniform is decided by each school’s board of governors.
Other financial assistance
The county council has no general scheme of assistance to
provide school clothing, clothing grants or any other financial
help to parents. In exceptional circumstances, where a child is
prevented from attending school, the council’s education welfare
service can give advice on what financial help might be available.
