The Right Secondary School 2010

Admission criteria for community schools in Barking and Dagenham in order of priority

 

Admission criteria in order of priority

• Priority 1: Children who are in the care of a local authority
• Priority 2: Children who live closest to the school, measured by the nearest available walking route using recognised footpaths, byways and public highways which are adopted, numbered and maintained by our Highway Department within this authority

Important notes

1. The child's home is the permanent address where they live with their legal guardian and where child benefit is addressed
2. All distances are measured using SIA's Geographical Information System, SMART
3. The distance measured from the child's home to secondary schools with split sites will be measured to the main site. The main site is the entrance through the main door at the upper site where the head teacher's office is located. This measurement affects Barking Abbey and Robert Clack schools
4. The measurement from home to school can only take account of the routes available at the closing date. This is because, where roads or route alterations are under construction, we cannot guarantee that the route will be ready by the time the children start school. Once the route is ready, we will measure applications made after that date (including appeals and requests for transport) using the new route
5. Within either of the 2 criteria, we will use distance from home to school as a tie breaker for pupils who have equal claim for a place
6. We cannot consider other circumstances not listed in the criteria. It is essential that we are consistent in our judgement and use only those criteria that have already been agreed
7. If we discover that we have given your child a place based on false, inaccurate or misleading information, we will withdraw the place and may take legal action
