How to apply for a place if your child is due to move to junior school
Children attending an infant school in North Lincolnshire and who are due to
transfer to junior school in September 2008 will be given relevant information
by their current school.
Coordinated scheme for junior schools
The co-ordinated scheme for North Lincolnshire will follow the process outlined
below:
- All parents must either apply online or complete the common
application form naming the school they wish their child to attend;
- The council will then determine whether or not the child Is eligible for
admission. If the governing body are responsible for admission they will determine
who is eligible and will then inform the council;
- Where an offer of a place at the named school can be met the parent will
be offered a place;
- Where the council cannot offer a place at the named school the parent will
be offered a place at the next nearest school with places available;
- All parents will be given their statutory right to appeal against any decision
the council makes and information about how to appeal against any decision
a governing body makes as appropriate.
