copied and pasted from my leas addmissions for schools booklet lastest one
Voluntary Aided primary
school and Academy admission authorities will
consider and rank all applications received,
including any supplementary data, with reference
to their own over-subscription criteria where
necessary. Ranked lists of potential offers will then
be returned by electronic data transfer to SG by the Voluntary Aided primary
school and Academy admission authorities,
including the reason why each applicant qualified
for a place, by 12 March 2014. The list will also
include those pupils, for whom a place cannot be
offered, in rank order, explaining the reasons for
refusal against the over-subscription criteria, and
in the order in which additional offers will be made
should places become available
which is why i read this as we apply
they then send to va schools or academy
they then informe lea
who then inform parents.
then says about co-ordinated admissonsS between diffrent las
and
SG will pass the details of
applications received on to other Local Authorities
as appropriate by 4 February 2014 by electronic
data transfer. Own admission authority schools
in SG named on the common
application forms will be sent details of their
applications by 13 February 2014 by electronic
data transfer. Own admission authority schools
will not be notified of the rank order of an
applicant’s preferences.
I assume own admissions schools are schools ie community run by lea so some coe and some community schools.
it does tread that schools know quite bit before parents if its 13th feb and parents dont find out until 16th april.
I read this as va schools know rank order but lea schools do not.
I also under illusion with 1st born that in case va schools the governing body look at church applications and decide based on set published criteria.
