Trying to understand the acceptance criteria
Posted: Tue Mar 04, 2014 11:04 pm
Hi...
I'm new to the forums and would like confirmation of the acceptance criteria of St.Clements Dane School (and possibly others). The acceptance criteria reads:
Lets say 50 applicants met criteria 1, 30 met criteria 2 and 20 met criteria 3. Does that mean there's no spaces left for any of the applicants in criteria's 4 and below?
or
Is it a case that of the 100, there's a fixed number of applicants for each criteria:
eg 10 for criteria 1, 5 for criteria 2 etc...
Many thanks.
I'm new to the forums and would like confirmation of the acceptance criteria of St.Clements Dane School (and possibly others). The acceptance criteria reads:
For simplification, assuming the school accepts 100 students.How places are allocated
When the applications for admission exceed the number of places available, the following oversubscription criteria will be applied, in the order set out below.
1. The Governors will fulfil their legal obligation to allocate a place to a child in Public Care or a child who was in care, but ceased to be so because they were adopted. For further details please read Section 1 of the Admissions Policy.
2. Children whose brother or sister is in attendance at the school at the time of application. For further details please read Section 2 of the Admissions Policy.
3. Children of staff who are permanently employed by the Governors of St Clement Danes School. For further details please read Section 3 of the Admissions Policy.
4. Up to 10% of places will be for students demonstrating musical aptitude as determined by test during the autumn term.
5. Up to 10% of places will be for students demonstrating academic ability. This will be determined by test during the autumn term and places will be awarded in merit order.
The new School Admissions Code, which came into force on 1 February 2012, requires all schools that use aptitude and academic tests as part of their admission arrangements, to inform parents of the outcome of these tests before the secondary transfer application deadline. This is to ensure parents are able to make an informed choice of school.
6. Distance places will be allocated on the basis of proximity to the school, with priority given to WD3 postcodes only. The distance from the school to an applicant’s home address is calculated using a straight line distance measurement provided by NLPG. For further details please read Section 5 of the Admissions Policy.
7. Any remaining places will be allocated on the basis of proximity to the school, outside the WD3 postcode area. The distance from the school to an applicant’s home address is calculated using a straight line distance measurement provided NLPG. For further details please read Section 5 of the Admissions Policy.
Lets say 50 applicants met criteria 1, 30 met criteria 2 and 20 met criteria 3. Does that mean there's no spaces left for any of the applicants in criteria's 4 and below?
