Admissions arrangements for Knowsley schools:
School year 2012/13
The Council consulted with schools, local authorities, church
authorities and parents before determining admission arrangements
for the September 2012 intake nursery, reception and Y7 pupils, the
on-line section being done on this website.
Attached below are the results of the consultation – the
determined admission policies for community and controlled schools,
plus the admission numbers – that is the number of places to be
offered at each school.
The determined admission policies and numbers for voluntary
aided schools (Catholic and most Church of England Schools) are
also available below and can be obtained from the individual
school.
Parents have a right to raise issues with the Schools
Adjudicator if they believe that the policies are not lawful for do
not comply with the mandatory elements of the national School
Admissions Code. The government website gives access to a
copy of that code at
http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/adminandfinance/schooladmissions
Equally, groups of 10 or more parents can raise an objection
about an admission number.
Full details of how to raise an objection are given on the
Schools Adjudicator website on http://www.schoolsadjudicator.gov.uk/.
or by ringing 0870 0012468. The latest date for submitting
objections is 31 July 2011.
In addition, attached are the primary and secondary and in-year
schemes. These documents give the arrangements for applying for
places, dates, processes etc.
All these practical details are published in September 2011 in
the more “user-friendly” form of the admissions booklets; three
booklets, one each for nursery, primary and secondary. These
booklets have the relevant application form and all the information
parents need on how to apply for places. There will be publicity at
the time about how to collect a booklet, which will be available
through schools, one-stop shops, libraries etc.
If you have any initial queries about these matters, the Council
will be pleased to assist. Contact: Anne Forsyth, Inclusion
Services Manager, The Cordingley Building, Scotchbarn Lane,
Prescot, L36 7JD.
