Every care has been taken producing this booklet, however changes can occur and London Borough of Bromley cannot accept responsibility for errors or omissions. Check school websites for updated information.

Co-ordinated admissionsn London Boroughs, together with bordering councils, work together to ensure that each on-time applicant child

receives one Reception school offer on the same day.

n Before co-ordination, applications were made direct to schools resulting in some applicants receiving more than one offer. Parents then had to decide which place to accept or decline which delayed unwanted places being available for other applicants. Co-ordination was introduced by the Government to end multiple offers.

Out-borough residents and schoolsn Applications for the new Reception intake must be made through your home Local Authority. If you don’t pay Council

Tax to Bromley, please contact your home borough. You can include preferences for Bromley schools on your own local authority application.

n Bromley residents can use their Bromley application to apply for schools in other boroughs. Information, including schools’ DfE numbers, can be obtained from the relevant boroughs.

It is important that you take time to read this booklet which outlines the application process. There is increased demand for school places and you are not guaranteed an offer from a preferred school unless you qualify for a sibling offer. Distances of proximity offers vary every year, therefore you are advised to use all six preferences and include local schools which have consistently reached your address.

Please note:

n You MUST submit an application with all the required documents by the closing date.

n Your child must meet the admissions criteria of the school to be offered a place.

and there is

n NO automatic transfer from a nursery into a school.

n NO automatic offer of a sibling place without making an application.

How do I apply?n Bromley borough residents should apply online using the link at www.bromley.gov.uk

Applying online is quick, safe and secure and gives direct links to school information to help preference decisions. The system is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week until the application deadline 15 January 2017. It is Bromley’s preferred application method and is free, using an easy step-by-step format.

You can check or change details online at any point until the deadline Bromley Admissions will process the last version of the submitted application. The outcome of your application will be available to view on 18 April and offers can be accepted online until 2 May.

Before submitting your application you should:n Decide on your preferred schools.

n Do research to ensure your application/s are realistic by checking the schools’ admission criteria.

n Include a school whose proximity offers have in previous years consistently reached beyond your address.

n Supplementary Information Form (SIF). Schools with religious or different admissions criteria require applicants to complete and return a supplementary form to provide information to enable them to rank applications. They are available from the school/s concerned and must be returned by the application deadline. The school/s must also be included on your main application.

n Medical and Social. If you are applying under this criterion, complete the Medical and Social Registration Form (www.bromley.gov.uk) and return it to Bromley School Admissions with supporting documents by the application deadline. It is not possible to accept late applications under this criterion as cases have to be considered by the Medical and Social Panel before places are allocated according to other criteria.

n Submit your application on time with all the required documents.

You can apply for up to six schools, putting the school you want the most as your first preference. Schools can be in Bromley and/or in other Local Authorities. Out of borough residents can apply for Bromley schools via their home Local Authority.

Please note, preferences cannot be changed after the closing date.

When will my child start school? A child should by law be attending school at the beginning of the term following his/her 5th birthday. In Bromley all children born between 1 September 2012 and 31 August 2013 can start school in September 2017. However, schools can consider a request for a child to start the term after they are five (see page 7).

How to submit an application

Parents of Bromley resident childen should submit their Primary preferences online from 1 September 2016 using the ‘Apply for it’ link at www.bromley.gov.uk Satisfactory proof of residence and parental responsibility should be provided to Bromley Admissions to support the application. Bromley Admissions require a copy of your child benefit entitlement letter, child’s full birth certificate and current Bromley Council Tax statement. Documents can be attached to a submitted online application or photocopies posted to School Admissions, with a stamped addressed envelope for receipt.

Changes of address within the last 12 months require further supporting documents (see page 5).

If your child has an EHC Plan (Education, Health and Care Plan formerly known as a statement of special educational needs) there is a separate application process and you should not apply online. Please contact your SEN caseworker at Bromley Civic Centre.

If you pay Council Tax to another borough you must apply for the reception school place via your home Local Authority.

Online applicationsFrom 1 September, online applications can be made via home local authority websites. Bromley residents should use the link from the home page of www.bromley.gov.uk. Applying online is easy to use, quick, safe and secure and gives direct links to school information to help preference decisions.

n You will receive confirmation that your application as been submitted successfully and you will get your result on National Offer Day, 18 April 2017.

n The system is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until the application deadline, 11.59pm on 15 January 2017. Applications after 15 January 2017 can still be made online but will be processed as late.

Online is Bromley’s preferred application method. It is free and uses an easy step-by-step format. If you do not have personal access to the Internet, it can be booked free of charge at any Bromley library. Information can be checked online and changed at any point until the deadline. Bromley Admissions will process the last version of the submitted application. The outcome of your application will be available to view online on 18 April 2017 and offers can be accepted online until Tuesday 2 May 2017.

Paper application forms for Bromley residents who are unable to make online applications (for example when applying for schools out of the Pan London area) are available from the admissions team.

n If both an online application and a paper application are received for the same child, only the online application will be processed.

It is very important to be realistic when considering which schools to apply for. Do your research and read the schools’ oversubscription criteria to check the likelihood of the school being able to offer to you. Proximity distances vary from year to year. Distances covered by each school over the last three years are shown on pages 10 & 11.

All schools you want your child to be considered for should be included in your application, no matter which Local Authority they are situated in.

Schools must be listed in your preferred order with the one you want the most as first preference.

Application addressThe applicant pupil’s permanent residential home address is either:

n Owned and lived in with the pupil’s parent/carer who has parental responsibility

or

n Rented and lived in with the pupil’s parent/carer who has parental responsibility under a recognised letting agency tenancy agreement. Schools will not accept applications from temporary or future addresses, or rentals if an applicant still retains another property.

Addresses where a child stays or sleeps because of special domestic arrangements or personal circumstances cannot be used.

In cases of parents living separately but with a shared care arrangement, or when a child lives with a carer other than a parent, the child’s principal residential address must be used. A residence order and other legal documents will be required. Bromley will only accept the permanent home address of the parent/carer who is in receipt of or registered for Child Benefit.

n Bromley Admissions will only share information with the parent/s at the application address if they are named on the online or paper application.

n Please let Bromley Admissions know if a parent at another address is to be kept advised of their child’s application progress and outcome.

Any recent change of principal parental responsibility moving a child to a different address must be supported by satisfactory legal documentation, such as a court order. Any change in circumstance during the application and offer process must be notified to Bromley Admissions by completing the Change of Address Form. This is available on www.bromley.gov.uk and lists the supporting documentation required. Any change to an already proven address must be confirmed on this form. Changes made on the online system must also be notified to School Admissions to be taken into account according to the change of address processing timetable – see page 1.

Changes of addressThe child’s proven permanent residential address on 9 February 2017 will be used for the allocation processing.

Applicants must be resident in a new property and have provided satisfactory documents to prove there is no connection with the previous address before any change can be taken into account. All changes of address and parental responsibility will be thoroughly checked. Please refer to the application and change of address processing timetable on page 1 which confirms when a change of address will be taken into account.

Bromley admissions verify application addresses to ensure that only entitled pupils are offered places.

Schools ask for proof of continuity of address throughout the application and offer process. Evidence may be required to confirm the applicant is still living at the application address on National Offer Day and when starting at the offered school. Places may be withdrawn if address details do not match the information given on the application.

Changes of address after offers have been made

Changes of address after offers have been made will be investigated and applications will be reconsidered on the basis of the new home address. If the offer was made under the proximity criterion and the new address falls outside of the offered distance of a school with a waiting list, the offer may be rescinded.

The Bromley Change of Address Form must be completed and returned with the required documents to prove a move throughout the application and offer processing. If an applicant moves to a new address without telling Bromley Admissions this may be considered as being misleading and the offer can be withdrawn.

Fraudulent applicationsWhere there is suspected fraud, details will be referred to our Internal Audit and Anti-Fraud Team for Investigation. If a school is discovered to have been offered based on fraudulent or misleading information being provided the place will be withdrawn. Providing false information could lead to prosecution. If you fail to notify important changes of circumstance the Local Authority has the right to withdraw the offered place at any stage in the transfer process. This even applies after a child has started at the new school.

Completing your application and preferencesUp to six preferences can be made. You should read schools’ over-subscription criteria carefully to understand how places are offered. Applying for a school that your child does not have a realistic chance of getting into may be a wasted preference if there is another school that could offer.

Straightline distances for all applications to Bromley schools are calculated by an electronic measuring system based on Ordnance Survey GIS references. Commercial measuring systems to help you judge if your child may receive a proximity offer are available on the internet, however this information should be used with caution. Measurements are taken from the easting and northing for each address to the front door of the school. Contact Admissions for advice on your straightline distances to Bromley schools.

After all reasonable efforts have been made through the measuring process to qualify which address is the nearest from a school, a tiebreak will be used whenever two different addresses measure precisely the same distance. In the case of a block of flats, the lower door number will be deemed nearest as logically this will be on the lower floor and therefore closer. If there are two identical distance measurements for different addresses of separate applicants, the tiebreak will be alphabetical by child’s surname.

Admissions criteriaMost Bromley all-ability non-selective schools offer places in the following priority order (more information on oversubscription criteria is available on the website www.bromley.gov.uk)

n Looked After Children (LAC) A child who is (a) in care of an LA or (b) provided with accommodation by an LA exercising their Social Services

function. Status also applies to a child previously a LAC but immediately after being Looked After became subject to an adoption, residence or special guardianship order. A letter from the allocated social worker confirming the child’s legal status or an adoption certificate confirming which local authority the child was in care to is required.

n Siblings If you have an older child already attending a school (and still attending in September 2017) check the sibling criterion

with the school. A sibling is usually a brother/sister/half/adopted/step living at the same address and on the same Child Benefit entitlement. Siblings do not include cousins or other relatives. If you are guaranteed a sibling offer you could decide to list only that one preference.

n Proximity Is measured in a straight-line between the applicant’s home and the school. Admissions uses Ordnance Survey

software to map distances from the unique co-ordinates of the application address to the mapping point of each preferred school (see details above).

n Children of staff The following Bromley schools give this priority after LAC and siblings: Darrick Wood Infant School, Green Street

Green, Hayes Primary, Highfield Infant, Keston CE Primary, Midfield Primary, Parish CE Primary, Pickhurst Infant, St. Mary Cray Primary, The Pioneer Academy and Tubbenden Primary.

In all cases, to qualify under the children of staff criterion the member of staff must have been employed at the school for two or more years at the time of application, or been appointed to fill a vacant post for which there was a demonstrable skill shortage.

Supplementary Information Forms (SIFs) n To apply their over-subscription criteria and rank applicants, some Bromley schools need to collect information not

requested on the Local Authority application.

n SIFs are available from, and must be returned to these schools by the closing date. Schools must also be listed on the Local Authority application. SIFs will not be considered on their own.

7

Making your preferences

n Up to six preferences can be made.

n Applying for only one school will not increase the likelihood of being offered a place.

n The preference order will only be used when it is possible for more than one school to offer.

n Schools will not know what other applications have been made or the order of preference.

n Changes to preferences and preference order are not permitted after the application deadline, unless there are exceptional circumstances (as agreed by the Admissions Manager).

Multiple birth applicationsIf you are making applications for twins or triplets, etc wanting them to attend the same school, the same schools must be listed in the same order to avoid the possibility of being offered different schools. If one child of a multiple birth application is offered bringing the school to its published admissions number, the multiple birth sibling will also be offered as excepted pupil/s.

n Please note that if a school is offered to one twin with SEN or an EHC plan after it being named on their statement, the twin without a statement must qualify under the school’s admissions criteria to be offered a place at the same school.

It is important to ensure there is a strong possibility of your child being offered a place. Distance is usually a deciding factor so you are encouraged to attend open events at schools whose offers have always reached beyond your address.

Admission of Summer Born Children outside of their Normal Age RangeParents should still submit an application through the co-ordinated process and submit the Admission outside normal age group request form to Bromley Admissions with supporting documentation.

Parents of children born between 1 April and 31 August (referred to as “summer born children”) may decide that they want to delay their child starting school until the September after the child has reached compulsory school age on 31 August. However, any place already achieved for the child in Reception Year in the usual way cannot be deferred (i.e. held for that child) for the duration of that school year, and parents will need to re-apply for admission the following year. Such applications will be considered with all other applications in the usual way, applying the oversubscription criteria for that year as necessary. As a place cannot be held for their child in Reception Year, parents should keep in mind that there is a high possibility that there will not be any available places in Year 1 the following year.

Parents of summer born children may request that their child is admitted the following year outside of his or her normal age range into Reception Year instead of Year 1, however there is no automatic right to this. The relevant admission authority will make a decision, having taken into account the circumstances of each case. Where the request is agreed, the application will be considered with all other applications in the usual way, applying the oversubscription criteria as necessary.

Parents will be advised of the decision and why it was reached. If the request is not agreed, there is no formal right of appeal.

How places are allocatedLondon boroughs and bordering councils work together to ensure that each child receives a single offer of a primary/infant school place on National Offer Day (18 April 2017).

n A school is ‘over-subscribed’ when it receives more applications than places and applies its published oversubscription criteria to determine who can be offered.

n Applications are considered equally and at the same time. Schools will not be told which preference number they are.

n Schools confirm to their home Authority admissions team which applicants they are able to offer to.

n All possible offers are shared and exchanged through the Pan-London Admissions System.

n The highest preference available will be offered to the applicant and any lower preference applications cancelled.

n Applicants will automatically go on the waiting list/s of any higher preference schools.

n Any Bromley on-time applicants without a preferred offer will be allocated a school that still has a vacancy. Government guidelines state it is reasonable for a child aged 4 years to travel up to 45 minutes to primary school.This can include schools in neighbouring authorities.

n Bromley residents cannot be given priority for Bromley schools. Legally schools are not allowed to discriminate against children because of where they live. Many Bromley schools are very close to the borough boundary and under their proximity criterion may offer to children from other Authorities. This ruling applies to Bromley residents wishing to apply for outborough schools.

When and how offers will be receivedn National Offer Day is Tuesday 18 April 2017 when Local Authorities post a letter to their residents by first class mail

informing them of their offered school.

n Online applicants will also be sent an email from 5.30pm on 18 April 2017 to confirm their offer.

n Offers can be accepted online until Tuesday 2 May.

n For reasons of security and confidentiality decisions will not be given over the telephone.

n Adequate time should be allowed for the offer letter to arrive before a duplicate is requested. Duplicates will be re-sent to the applicant address and will not be available for collection.

n Instances of letters not arriving or being returned by Royal Mail will be investigated.

When an admissions authority has offered a place on the basis of a fraudulent or intentionally misleading application (for example a false claim to residence), the authority may withdraw that offer. It is also reasonable for an offer to be withdrawn if it has been offered by the Local Authority in error (DfE School Admissions Code).

9

After National Offer Dayn Offers must be accepted online or by returning the reply slip on the offer letter by 2 May 2017.

Applicants not allocated their first preference are encouraged to accept the offered place. It is the best offer available at that time and secures a school place for September 2017. Accepting the offer will not affect priority on waiting lists or your right of appeal.

Bromley will not process a refusal of an offered place unless written notification has been received confirming which alternative school provision has been secured.

n From late May Bromley admissions will re-offer in waiting list order any places not required. Higher preference school offers can be accepted or declined (keeping the original place offered).

n From the beginning of June waiting list information will be available from Bromley admissions.

Applicants have the right to appeal to an independent panel at any preferred school. Details of the appeals process will be attached to the offer letter sent on 18 April 2017.

Waiting Lists and additional preferencesn Your child’s name will automatically remain in published over-subscription order on the waiting list of any schools of

a higher preference to the one already offered. Kent Admissions will contact applicants for their schools to confirm their arrangements. Only a small number of places will become available to be re-offered so there is no guarantee of a higher preference.

n Requests for additional preferences must be made on the Primary Additional Preference Form available to download from 18 April 2017 www.bromley.gov.uk. Preferences cannot exceed a total of 9 per applicant.

n From late May 2017 additional preference requests for Bromley schools not previously a preference will be added to waiting lists.

n Applications for lower preference Bromley schools can only be made under exceptional circumstances, you will need to complete the Primary Additional Preference Form and this will be considered from 1 June by the Admissions Manager in consultation with the school/s concerned.

n Applications for lower preference Bromley schools not deemed exceptional will need to made via the In Year process in September 2017.

n Waiting list positions are subject to change as additional preferences, changes of address and late applications are taken into account according to the process timetable.

n Waiting list information for Bromley schools will therefore not be available the beginning of June.

n For information on waiting lists positions for schools in other boroughs, parents should contact the relevant local authorities admission teams.

n Waiting lists for Bromley schools will be maintained in oversubscription order until 31 December 2017.

n To rejoin waiting lists, applications can be made through the In Year process from January 2018.

34

Please remember:Application deadline Sunday15 January 2017 – don’t be late. Most Bromley schools will receive more applications that they have places and therefore will not be able to offer to everyone who applies. You could miss out on a preferred offer if you do not follow the advice given.

Do your research and read the Bromley Primary Admissions 2017 booklet.

View websites and attend school open events.

Be realistic and check oversubscription criteria when deciding which school/s to apply for. You are strongly advised to include schools whose proximity offers have consistently reached beyond your address.

There is increasing demand for school places. Use all six preferences if you are not guaranteed an offer (ie Looked after child or sibling place). Advice from Bromley Admissions is available.

Applications cannot be processed without all the required documents.

If your child has an EHC Plan (statement of special educational needs) please contact 020 8313 4739 for further information on starting primary education.

Full details of the 2017 Reception intake process are in the Bromley ‘Apply For A School Place 2017’ booklet available

to view or download from the Bromley website.

Further information and advice is available from Bromley School Admissions (020 8313 4044).
