- The LA will apply their admissions policy for all community/voluntary controlled
schools and the governors will do the same for voluntary aided schools.
- The LA will inform all voluntary aided schools of all children who have
applied for a place at their school.
- Governors of the voluntary aided schools will notify the LA of the children
they can offer places to.
- Following the timetables set out earlier in this section the LA will write
to all parents with an offer of a place at a school. We will also offer places
at voluntary aided schools on behalf of the governing body.
Where
there are more applications than available places the LA will apply their admissions
criteria (this is described in "D" of this section) and the governing
body of voluntary aided schools will do the same. Please see appendix
B which details the admissions criteria for each voluntary aided school.
It
is essential that you submit your application by the closing date. Failure
to do so may mean that your child will not be considered for a place at your
preferred school and that the LA will allocate a place at a school which has
places available. You should also be aware that if your catchment school was
full, as a result of allocating places from those parents who have submitted
their application on time, your child would not be allocated a place there.
