Your child’s entry into reception and their educational journey through primary school sets the foundation for their learning throughout their childhood and beyond. All of our primary schools are committed to providing a high quality of education and excellent opportunities for our children. Our schools are very popular and the greater majority of them are now judged by Ofsted to be good or outstanding. It is important that you visit your local schools before deciding on your six preferences so that you can be sure you are selecting the right preferences for you and for your child. We hope that the information in this booklet supports you in being able to make a well informed decision for your child. The booklet contains information on all primary schools in our borough and provides a step by step guide about how to make your application. Please be aware that you have the right to express a preference for a school but that is not the same as choosing the school where your child will attend. Many of our schools are very popular and receive more preferences than there are places available. The booklet will help you to select the right preferences for your child and will also help you in making sure your preferences contain some realistic choices for you and your child. Where schools are oversubscribed the admission criteria set out in this booklet will be used to decide who will be offered a place. Once you have decided on your preferences you should apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions if you do not have access to a computer you can request a paper application using the information contained in this booklet. Please note that demand for school places in Haringey is very high. To give yourself the best chance of receiving an offer for a school place for your child from one of your preferences please ensure that you submit your application on time – by 15 January 2015. Along with all of our Councillors, Council officers, school staff and governors, we are committed to the continued improvement of education for all children attending Haringey’s family of primary schools. The care, nurturing and attention offered to your child and their continue success is as important to us as it is to you. We hope you will find the booklet helpful and we wish your child every success at primary school and beyond and we look forward to receiving your application. Cllr Ann Waters Cabinet Member for Children and Families Jon Abbey Assistant Director, Schools and Learning 4 Apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions Apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions 5 Section 1 APPLYING FOR A SCHOOL PLACE Before you make your application 1 2 3 Please contact each school directly to arrange a visit. Visit schools. Read Ofsted reports. You can view reports at www.ofsted.gov.uk. Look to see how many places each school has available. This is called the published admission number or PAN. This number is set to take into account the number of pupils each school site can accommodate and how many places are needed in the local area. 4 Read the admissions criteria for each school and look to see which criteria apply to your child. Consider how likely it is that your child will be offered a place at your preferred schools 5 The admissions criteria for Haringey community schools are listed on page 22. For all other schools the admissions criteria are listed under each school’s entry from page 24. You can find out the home to school distance of your preferred schools by emailing us between 1 September 2014 and 15 January 2015. Contact us to find out your home to school distance 6 The distance of the last child offered a place at a particular Haringey school from last year is available on page 23 of this booklet. Please remember that although this information can be used to give you an idea of how likely it is that you will be offered a place at your preferred school, the ‘last distance’ will change every year. We can never guarantee any child will be offered a place at any school. Consider how your child will travel to school Do: Talk to your child about the decision 6 The admission number for each school is listed under each school’s entry from page 24. Don’t: Let others influence your decision – the right school for your friend’s child may not be the right school for your child. Apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions Section 1: Applying for a school place Completing your application We recommend that you list six schools on your application form. This will maximise the possibility of your child being offered a school you would like them to go to. The schools can be in Haringey or elsewhere. Please list the schools in the order you most prefer them. Please do not list any private fee-paying schools on the form. You must check if any of the schools you are applying for require a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) to be completed. We have clearly shown in the schools section of this booklet which Haringey schools have a SIF. You will need to ask the school for the SIF. Online applications Apply online from 1 September 2014 at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions The easiest way to make an application is to apply online and the majority of parent/carers in Haringey do this. Once you have applied online you will receive email confirmation that we have received your application. You will also find out the outcome of your application before those who applied on paper – apply online and find out the results of your application the evening before you receive your letter. How to make an application – easy to follow steps Before starting your application please ensure you have a valid email address. Register to apply online Select register to apply online and enter your email address. You will receive an email with a username and a link. You must click on the link to validate your email address. You will then receive another email with your username and password. This email will include a link to the start of the application process. Apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions 7 Section 1: Applying for a school place Entering your personal details Enter your details. Please ensure the address you provide is your child’s permanent address. This will be verified against Council Tax records. For more information see page 10. If you are unable to locate your address please contact us. Do not send any other address. Step 1 of 3 Entering your child’s details Select ‘Start Application for New Child.’ Enter your child’s details. Make sure you enter the information accurately. Make sure you only apply for a child born between 01/09/2010 – 31/08/2011 (Reception) 01/09/2007 - 31/08/2008 (Junior). Parents with multiple birth children must complete a separate application form for each child. For more information see page 12. 8 Apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions Section 1: Applying for a school place STEP 2 of 3 Adding your school preferences Select the Local Authority the school is located in. Select and add the school you wish to apply for. You can apply for up to six schools. Make sure that you have read the schools’ admission criteria. This will act as a guide as to the likelihood of being offered a place at your preferred school. For each school selected, you will be asked a number of questions (such as whether there is a sibling at the school or if you wish to apply under the social/ medical criterion). For more information see page 12. STEP 3 of 3 Submitting your application Please check all of the details entered are correct. Read the declaration and tick the box to accept it. Click the ‘Submit Application’ button. Once you have submitted your application you will be able to attach documents. You will receive an email confirmation with your Application Reference Number – 309- 2015- E - XXXXX If you do not receive an email confirmation with your Application Reference Number, please contact us to check if your application has been submitted. You must click the submit button by the closing date of 15 January 2015. If you do not do this, your application will not be processed. Apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions 9 Section 1: Applying for a school place Your child’s address Proof of address The address you provide must be your child’s permanent address on 15 January 2015. This must not be an address of another family member or another adult who looks after your child but does not have parental responsibility for your child. If parents are separated the application should be made by the parent the child normally lives with. Where a child spends equal time with each parent, the exact arrangements should be made clear in a letter with a copy of any custody or residency order. Your application for a school place can only be processed from one address. Please provide your council tax reference number (as shown on your annual bill or direct debit statement) and a copy of your gas or electricity bill dated within 3 months of 15 January 2015. Failure to produce evidence to verify your address may lead to the offer of a place being withdrawn. Change of address If you move house after submitting your application, please let us know immediately. All changes of address will be thoroughly investigated and we will not accept information relating to a temporary arrangement put in place to gain access to a preferred school. You will need to prove that there is no remaining connection with the previous address and you may be asked to supply additional evidence such as proof of completion on the property sold or a copy of termination of tenancy agreement on the previous property. If we receive the required proof of address by 13 February 2015 then we will be able to use your new address to measure your home to school distances. If we receive the information after 13 February 2015 we will ensure that your offer letter is sent to your new address but we will not be able to update your home to school distances until after 16 April 2015. In this instance we will also use the original address you provided for the purposes of measuring your home to school distance. Fraudulent Applications We reserve the right to undertake reasonable checks to verify any information provided on your application form. If we find that a school place was obtained using a false address, we will withdraw the offer and give it to the child who was entitled to the place. We consider that every school place obtained by deception is unfair, as other children are being deliberately denied their legitimate claim to that place. Rigorous checks will be carried out to ensure that applications are not fraudulent. We carry out random checks on a number of applications and we reserve the right to carry out home visits to the address used on the application form. If you suspect that someone intends to or has used a false address to obtain a school place, please call the Haringey Fraud hotline on 0500 500 7777 or email fraudcall@haringey.gov.uk in confidence. Alternatively you can write to the Admissions Service, Haringey Council, 48 Station Road, Wood Green, London, N22 7TY. All cases will be investigated. If you are moving between two properties that you own, you will need to supply proof of Council Tax for your residence and documentation detailing the use of the other property. 10 Apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions Section 1: Applying for a school place Private fostering If a child is living with someone outside their family, this is what is known as a private fostering arrangement. Do you know what private fostering is? Private fostering is when a child under the age of 16 (or 18 if disabled) is cared for by someone who is not their parent or a ‘close relative’. This is a private arrangement made between a parent and a carer, for 28 days or more. Close relatives are defined as step-parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, uncles or aunts (whether of full blood, half blood or marriage/affinity). It is a legal requirement that you contact Haringey Council on 020 8489 5762/4582 or email privatefostering@ haringey.gov.uk Do you know about the duty to notify? There is a duty on the part of parents and carers entering into private fostering arrangements to notify the council. This is in order to safeguard and protect the child’s welfare as well as ensuring that the child, carer and parent are receiving appropriate support and help. If you know or suspect that a child is being cared for by someone outside their family please call us on 020 8489 5762/4582 or email privatefostering@haringey.gov.uk Apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions 11 Section 1: Applying for a school place Additional information Children with a statement of Special Educational Needs or an Education Health and Care Plan If your child has a statement of Special Educational Needs (SEN) or an Education Health and Care Plan, their admission to primary or junior school will not be via the normal admissions procedure set out in this booklet. The SEN Service will write to you and explain the procedure for applying for a primary or junior place for your child. Looked after and previously looked after children Please let us know if your child is in care to a Local Authority or previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, residence or special guardianship order. Where a child is in care we will need a letter from the child’s social worker or Local Authority to confirm this. Where a child is previously looked after we will need a copy of the adoption, residence or special guardianship order and documents or a letter showing your child was previously in care. This only applies to children who were previously looked after by a Local Authority in England or Wales. Exceptional social / medical reasons All schools in Haringey have experience in dealing with children with diverse social and medical needs. However, in a few exceptional cases there are reasons why a child has to attend one specific school. For your application to be considered under the social medical criterion you must provide written evidence from a doctor, social worker or other independent professional. In each case, the connection between your child’s need and the specific school must be made and you must clearly demonstrate why this one specific school can meet your child’s needs in a way that no other school can. You will need to supply evidence by the application deadline of 15 January 2015. Information after this date will be considered after 16 April 2016. Priority under this criterion can only be given for one specific school but we still recommend that you list 6 schools on your application form. We may have to share the information you have provided with the offered school. Multiple births Parents with multiple birth children must complete a separate application form for each child. If only one place is available at a community school and the child who qualifies for that place is one of multiple birth siblings, we will ask the school to go over their published admission number. If this happens at an academy, foundation or free school the council will ask the governing body of the school if an additional place can be offered, but the decision will rest with the governing body. Submitting your application - don’t be late! Applications received after 15 January 2015 will be classed as late. Late applications will be considered after all the other applications that were received on time. If there are exceptional circumstances why your application was received after the deadline, please provide independent written evidence by 13 February 2015 (from someone who is impartial) explaining why the application was late. This information will be considered by a panel and we will let you know if your application will be processed as late or ‘on time’. Late applicants are very unlikely to be offered one of their preferred schools. Please ensure that you submit all relevant information, including professional evidence with your application. A panel of officers will determine whether the evidence provided is sufficiently compelling to meet the requirements and you will be notified of the panel’s decision in writing. 12 Apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions Section 1: Applying for a school place Changes of preference If you have applied online you can make changes up until the closing date by returning to the online e-admissions website and editing your application. Changes requested over the telephone will not be accepted. Preferences cannot be changed after 15 January 2015 unless you move address and you will need to let us know by 13 February 2015. If you send in a paper application before 15 January 2015 and then decide to make changes, you can still do this as long as we receive written requests by 15 January 2015. Apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions 13 Section 1: Applying for a school place How we will process your application Each school you list is considered at exactly the same time. This includes schools in Haringey and schools located in other boroughs. The published admissions criteria (also called admission rules or admission arrangements) will be applied to every school you list. Our computer system works out who can be offered a place at Haringey community schools. It applies the criteria which is given on page 22 of this booklet. The governors of academies, voluntary aided and free schools apply their criteria to all their applicants and let us know who should be offered a place. Other boroughs apply their criteria and let us know which Haringey residents can be offered places at their schools. Each school has a set number of places that can be offered (the pulished admission number) and places are offered until the school is full or there are no more applicants for that school. If a child can be offered more than one place then the highest possible preference will be offered. Summary of application process Application received Criteria applied to each preference Places are offered up to the Admissions Number at each school Highest possible preference offered to each child Sometimes we cannot offer any school listed because in every case other applicants met the admissions criteria better than they did. For example, other applicants lived closer to the school. If this happens we will offer a place at the nearest school with an available place. With the governors’ agreement, it may be possible to allocate places at academies, voluntary aided and free schools, if there are any available. Places are offered in accordance with the schools’ admissions criteria and your child may qualify for more than one school. Please therefore list your schools in the order you prefer them. This is very important because only one offer will be made and this will be for the highest preference school for which your child has qualified under the admission criteria. Preference List preferences 1 School A 2 School B 3 School C 4 School D 5 School E 6 School F Does my child qualify for this school? Which school is offered The place at school D would be offered to the next child on the school’s list who best meets the criterion. 14 Apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions Section 1: Applying for a school place The results of your application Date What will happen? 16 April Offer letters posted for all applicants 16 April (early evening) Online applicants will receive offer online 17 April Letters should be received by all applicants We cannot guarantee that you will receive your offer letter on 17 April. Please note that we do not give any offer information out over the phone. Accepting the offer Please accept your offer by 30 April 2015. If you do not accept the offer you will be asked about the arrangements you will be making for your child in September. Please remember the offer that we give you on 16 April will either be: The highest preference school you listed that your child qualified for or The nearest school with an available place. Accepting the offer will not affect your waiting list position or appeal outcome. Waiting lists If we cannot offer you your first preference school, your child’s name will automatically be added to the waiting list for any schools on your form listed higher than the school you have been offered. Waiting lists are ordered strictly in accordance with the school’s admissions criteria. Waiting list positions can change at any time depending on other applicants’ circumstances and it is important to note that your child’s position may go down as well as up if other applicants join the waiting list. Being on a waiting list does not guarantee a place at the school. Your child will remain on the waiting list until the end of the autumn term and we will write to you to ask you to complete a new application form if you wish to extend this further. Deferred entry to a school The law states that a child must be receiving appropriate education from the term following their fifth birthday. The council must provide school places for all children in the September following their fourth birthday but parents have the right to: a) request that the date their child is admitted to school is deferred until later in the academic year or until the term in which the child reaches compulsory school age, and b) request that their child takes up the place part-time until the child reaches compulsory school age. Please be aware that it is not possible to reserve a place for the following year. Children who do not take up a reception place within the academic year will need to make an in-year application in September for admission into year 1. Summer born children and delaying entry If you are a parent of a summer born child, you can request that they enter the Reception class in the September after their fifth birthday. Parents thinking of making a request for delayed entry should write to us explaining the reasons for their request and provide recent independent professional evidence. Please make sure you complete an application for your child’s actual age group before the closing date on 15 January 2015. The request for later admission and supporting evidence should accompany your application. We will contact you to talk this through with you. Your application will be processed and a school place secured in your child’s actual age group. You will then be able to withdraw your place if your request for delayed admission is approved by an admission authority and make a fresh application for 2016. There is no right of appeal against this decision. Apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions 15 Section 1: Applying for a school place School admission appeals If your child is not offered a place at one of the schools you listed on your form you can appeal against this decision to an independent appeal panel. You will be given details of how to make an appeal in our offer letter. The deadline to appeal is 15 May 2015. Appeals are heard by an independent appeal panel of three members of the public. You can only make one appeal for each school listed on your form. If you did not get a place at more then one school you listed on your application you can make a separate appeal for each school. Please note: By law children cannot be taught in classes of more than 30 in Key Stage 1 (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2). Where a child has been refused admission to a school because the class has reached its limit of 30, an appeal panel can only offer a place to a child where: Please be aware that if one of these schools is a voluntary aided school, an academy or a free school you have to appeal to the school directly as they are responsible for organising their own appeals. When you indicate your wish to appeal for a Reception or Junior place you will be contacted by the Appeals Administrator 10 days before the hearing to confirm the date. Futher details of the appeals timetable will be published on our website in February 2015. You are able to submit additional evidence or documentation that might be relevant to your appeal.

If you list only one school and your child cannot be offered a place under the school’s admission arrangements, we will offer the nearest school to your home address with a vacancy. Myth: I live nearer to the school than the last child offered under the distance criterion last year so I’m guaranteed a place. Although the information listed on page 23 can give you an idea of how likely it is that you will be offered a place at your preferred school, the ‘last distance’ will change every year. We cannot guarantee any child will be offered a place at any school. Myth: Children in my road go to the school so my child will too. The number of pupils offered under each criterion at each school can change every year so just because you know pupils living near you that go to a certain school, it does not mean that your child will be offered a place there. Myth: If I apply to a school in another borough, their residents will have priority over me. Myth: Listing the same school six times will improve my chances of being offered a school. Myth: It does not matter if my form is late. Myth: I can only apply for Haringey schools. 18 Some parent/carers make decisions based on incorrect information they have heard. Here are some of the common reasons for not being offered a place at one of their preferred schools. An admissions authority cannot give preference to its own residents and published admissions criteria cannot include the borough of residence. Haringey cannot and does not discriminate between applicants who live in the borough and those who do not. Your child can only be considered once for a school and any duplicated preferences will be deleted. If you apply after 15 January 2015, we will look at your application after all those that applied on time and it is very unlikely that you will be offered one of your preferred schools. You can apply for both Haringey and out of borough schools by naming them on the Haringey application form.

The following schools are free schools: West Green Weston Park The Willow Eden Brook House Primary (formerly known as Hartsbrook E-ACT Free School) Apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions Section 2: Haringey Schools Voluntary Controlled Schools Voluntary controlled (VC) schools are state-funded schools in which a foundation or trust (usually a Christian denomination) has some formal influence in the running of the school. Haringey Council set and apply the admission arrangements for voluntary controlled schools. The following school is a voluntary controlled school: St Aidan’s Voluntary Aided Schools Voluntary-aided (VA) schools operate under foundations (usually trusts, which are often the Church Diocesan Boards). Most are designated with a religious character. The governors of the school set and apply the admission arrangements. The admissions arrangements are set out under the entry for each school. These schools require you to complete a Supplementary Information Form (SIF). Our Lady of Muswell RC St Frances de Sales RC Infant St Frances de Sales RC Junior St Gildas’ RC Junior St Ignatius RC St James CE St John Vianney RC St Martin of Porres RC St Mary’s CE St Mary’s RC Infant St Mary’s RC Junior St Michael’s (N6) St Paul’s RC St Peter-in-Chains RC Infant Apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions 21 Section 2: Haringey Schools Admissions criteria for Haringey community schools If we receive more applications than spaces available at Haringey community schools then we will apply the following admissions criteria. Children with a statement of Special Educational Needs which names the school will be admitted in accordance with Section 324 of the Education Act 1996.* 5. Distance 1. Children in care Tie breaker Children who are looked after by a local authority or were previously looked after but immediately after being looked after, became subject to an adoption, residence, or special guardianship order. The tie breaker for all criteria is children living closest to the school measured in a straight line from the post office address point for the child’s home, to the post office address point of the school, supplied by the Royal Mail using a computerised mapping system. Children in care means children who are in care of a local authority in accordance with Section 22 Children Act 1989. 2. Social / medical Children who the Authority accepts have an exceptional medical or social need for a place at one specific school. Applications will only be considered under this category if they are supported by a written statement from a doctor, social worker or other relevant independent professional. The information must confirm the exceptional medical or social need and demonstrate how the specified school is the only school that can meet the defined needs of the child. 3. Linked school This rule applies only to junior school admissions. Applicants attending an infant school will be prioritised under this rule for admission to the linked junior school. The linked infant and junior schools in Haringey normally share the same names (eg Rokesly Infant School is linked to Rokesly Junior School). The exception to this is St Peter-in-Chains Infant School and St Gildas’ Junior School. Children living closest to the preferred school. The tiebreak for two or more applications that live exactly the same distance from the school will be random allocation using a computerised system Multiple births If only one place is available at the school and the child who qualifies for that place is one of multiple birth siblings, we will ask community schools to go over their published admission number. A multiple birth is the birth of more than one baby from a pregnancy. *This also applies to all children with an Education Health and Care Plan. From September 2014 the new Children and Families Act will become law. This replaces the current statement of Special Education Needs with the Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP). This change will apply to all school admission arrangements in this booklet. 4. Brother or sister Children with a brother or sister already attending the school and who will still be attending on the date of admission. This category includes foster brothers and sisters, half brothers and sisters or stepbrothers and sisters. Parents should note that in all these cases, the brother or sister must be living at the same address as the child for whom the application is being made. 22 Apply online at www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions Section 2: Haringey Schools How the criteria were applied last year The following table shows the number of pupils offered under each criterion for community schools where the oversubscription criteria was used: Distance of last child offered (straight-line, miles) Distance Siblings Exceptional social or medical need Looked-after children Children with SEN statements Number of places offered Number of applications received Alexandra 207 60 0 0 0 10 50 1.3296 Belmont Infants 262 56 0 0 0 25 31 0.2524 Bounds Green Infant 233 60 0 0 0 23 37 0.3675 Campsbourne 226 60 0 0 0 24 36 0.5936 Chestnuts 279 60 0 3 0 27 30 0.2712 Coldfall 498 90 0 0 0 42 48 0.3849 Coleridge 630 120 0 2 0 52 66 0.3211 Earlsmead 207 60 0 0 0 27 33 0.4547 Highgate 243 56 0 1 0 16 39 0.9187 Lancasterian 215 58 0 0 0 16 42 0.5096 Lea Valley 184 60 1 0 0 30 29 0.2744 Lordship Lane 204 90 0 0 0 23 67 0.6929 Muswell Hill 586 60 0 0 0 27 33 0.2374 North Harringay 214 60 0 0 0 22 38 0.2938 Rhodes Avenue 465 90 0 1 0 41 48 0.3557 Risley Avenue 231 90 0 1 0 45 44 0.7132 Rokesly Infants 413 90 0 0 0 39 51 0.4059 South Harringay 238 60 0 1 0 27 32 0.1878 Stroud Green 131 60 0 0 0 21 39 0.5860 St Aidan’s 212 30 0 1 0 18 11 0.1288 Tetherdown 435 60 0 2 0 28 30 0.3565 The Willow 149 60 1 0 0 25 34 0.4063 Weston Park 341 30 2 3 1 19 5 0.0757 We were able to offer a place at all other community schools in Haringey, to families who applied on time.

Looked after children or previously looked after children as defined in the Admissions Code; 2. Pupils who, on the date of admission, will have an older sibling (i.e. a natural brother or sister, or a half brother or sister, or a legally adopted brother or sister or half-brother or sister, or step brother or sister who will be living with them at the same address at the date of their entry to the Academy) in years R-6 of the Academy. Proof of the sibling relationship will be required (short birth certificates). The Academy will operate a waiting list for each year group. Where in any year the Academy receives more applications for places than there are places available, a waiting list will operate until the end of the first term after the beginning of the school year. This will be maintained by the Academy Trust and it will be open to any parent to ask for his or her child’s name to be placed on the waiting list, following an unsuccessful application. Children’s position on the waiting list will be determined solely in accordance with the oversubscription criteria. Where places become vacant they will be allocated to children on the waiting list in accordance with the oversubscription criteria. Where casual applications are made and a request made to be added to the waiting list the rank order of children on the waiting list will be recalculated using the oversubscription criteria. Appeals The school will offer an appeal to anyone refused admission. The appeal will be before an independent appeals panel constituted in accordance with the School Admission Appeals Code. If refused admission you should contact the school to lodge an appeal. 3. Other children 4. If in categories 2-3 above a tie-break is necessary to determine which child is admitted, the child living closest to the school will be given priority for admission. Distance is measured from the child’s home to the front gates of the school in a straight line. This is measured by using a computerised mapping system from the post office address point of the home address to the post office address point of the school. If children are tied for the final place(s) to be allocated with exactly the same distance, priority for the final place(s) will be determined by random allocation using a computerised system. Proof of residence or offer of letting from landlord will be required (council tax bill, utility bill).

To apply for a Haringey school, please complete an in-year application form available to download from the Haringey website or from the Customer Service Centres. Supplementary Information Forms (SIFS), required by some schools, will be available directly from the schools. These schools will use the information on the SIFS to apply their admissions criteria. The admissions criteria we apply for community schools is set out on page 22 of this booklet. If you have moved into the area, your child can join a school in the appropriate year group for their age. If you wish to transfer your child for any other reason, you should talk to your present school before making an application. The Admissions Service do not encourage changes from one local school to another. This is because research shows that these moves can damage the educational achievement and success of children unless there are exceptional circumstances and transfer is in the best interests of the child. Fair access If you would like to apply for a school outside Haringey, please contact the borough the school is located in for details on how to apply. Please note, this is different from the process for applying to start Reception or transfer to a Junior school. Waiting lists We have a protocol in place which ensures that vulnerable young people who apply for a place outside the normal round of admissions, and who are not on the roll of a school, are offered a place quickly. Fair Access admissions are shared fairly across all schools and academies. Further information is available on our website - www.haringey.gov.uk/schooladmissions If the school you are interested in has a vacancy in your child’s year group we will be able to offer a place. If there are no places, your child‘s name can be added to the waiting list. If a place becomes available at a school, all the children on the waiting list are considered and the place is offered in accordance with the school’s admissions criteria. Waiting lists for community schools will be held in the order of the admissions criteria set out on page 22 of this booklet. School admission appeals If your child is not offered a place at one of the schools you listed on your form you can appeal against this decision to an independent appeal panel. Further information on how you can appeal can be found on page 16. Please note for applications for in year admissions there is no appeal deadline. Appeals will be heard within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged.

The Education Welfare Service works with schools, pupils and families to encourage good school attendance and high standards of pupil welfare. There is a very clear link between good school attendance and good academic achievement. There are also clear links between poor school attendance and risk of being involved in antisocial behaviour, crime and poor life outcomes generally. The Education Welfare Officer (EWO) will work with young people who find regular school attendance problematic. This may mean directly working with young people themselves or referral to other agencies (with parental agreement). They will ensure that parents / carers are fully aware of their responsibilities to ensure regular school attendance. They can give advice on a range of issues such as matters relating to child protection and bullying.
