Welcome from the Director of
Learning and Childrens Services
Dear Parents/Carers
Starting school is a big milestone in every childs life, and we know how important it is for
you to have the right information to help decide which primary school you would like your
child to attend. This booklet explains the process of applying for a reception class place
and provides information about the primary schools in the Royal Borough of Kingston
upon Thames. If your child was born between 1 September 2009 and 31 August 2010,
your child will start school in September 2014 and the deadline for applications is 15th
January 2014.
All our schools are committed to providing a high quality education and excellent learning
opportunities for children. Kingston schools are very popular and each year we see high
standards and very good Ofsted inspection outcomes. As well as achieving high
standards of attainment, our schools aim to develop the whole child in his or her
knowledge, skills and understanding, and in his/her physical, social, moral and artistic
development.
Each school produces its own prospectus for parents, in addition to this borough booklet.
We recommend that you ask the schools you are interested in for a copy of their
prospectus. This will tell you more about the ethos, curriculum and achievements of each
individual school.
In response to the significant increase in demand for places in Reception Year, Kingston
Councils strategy for providing additional school places has included permanently
expanding some schools and providing additional temporary classes. For entry into
Reception for September 2014, there will be a mixture of new provision, including the
permanent expansions of Kings Oak Primary and Lovelace Primary, the establishment of
Park Community free school (which we warmly welcome into the local family of schools),
and additional classes accommodated as part of shared forms of entry between a
number of schools. The location of the additional classes will be made available in
advance of the 15 January 2014 application deadline. As this information may impact on
your preference of schools, please check the Councils website at www.kingston.gov.uk
for the most up to date information.
I hope you find this booklet helpful and I wish your child a successful and happy school
experience in Kingston.
Nick Whitfield
Director of Learning and Childrens Services

Types of school in Kingston upon Thames
Community schools: Community schools are owned and maintained by the Council,
which sets the admissions policy, including the criteria used for allocating places at
schools that receive more applications than they have places.
Voluntary aided (Church) schools: Voluntary aided (Church) schools are
maintained by the Council which pays the teachers salaries and the day to day
running costs of the schools, but generally the buildings are owned by a church.
Some schools are Roman Catholic (RC) and some are Church of England (C of E).
The governing body of the school sets the admissions policy and criteria.
Foundation schools: Foundation schools are also maintained by the Council, but the
governing bodies of foundation schools own the school buildings and sites. They are
responsible for admissions and set their own policy and criteria. Lime Tree Primary
School and St Lukes C of E Primary School are the only foundation primary schools
in Kingston upon Thames.
Academies: An Academy is a school that is run by an Academy Trust and its
governors. It is funded entirely by central government and is independent of local
authority control. Latchmere School and St Agathas Catholic Primary School are the
only academies in Kingston upon Thames.
Free schools: Free schools are independent of the local authority and are funded
directly by the Department for Education. Park Community School is planning to open
in September 2014 and will be the only free school in Kingston upon Thames.
Independent schools: These are schools where you pay fees for your child to
attend. Kingston Council does not pay for places at independent schools. Further
information can be obtained from the Independent Schools Council, St Vincent
House, 30 Orange Street, London WC2H 7HH Tel: 020 7766 7070 www.isc.co.uk
Age range of schools

Infant schools: Infant schools provide education for children aged 4 to 7 years. The first
year of infant school is called the Reception Year, for children who become 5 during that
year. Years 1 and 2 then follow for children who become 6 and 7 during these years.
Most infant schools have nursery classes attached to them which cater for children aged
3 to 4, ie in the school year in which they become 4, in part-time classes.
Junior schools: Junior schools provide education for children aged 7 to 11 years. They
cover four school years, Years 3 to 6.
Primary schools: Primary schools provide education across the whole primary age-
range of 4 to 11 years. They cover the Reception Year and Years 1 to 6. Most primary
schools have nursery classes attached to them for children aged 3 to 4. Children transfer
to secondary school at the end of Year 6.

New Free School

Park Community School is planning to open in September 2014 and will be the only
free school in Kingston. The school will be following the National Curriculum and will
be offering 60 Reception places. It will be located in the Raynes Park, West Wimbledon
and Motspur Park area with details of the exact site to be confirmed shortly. More
information about the Park Community School is available via the schools website
www.parkcommunityschool.com
For the first years intake only, parents who wish to apply for a place at Park
Community School must do so directly to the school, and not via the Local Authority
application process.
Applications to Park Community School can be made: on the school website; by

emailing [email protected]; writing to the school or by
telephoning the Parent Hotline on 07739 407859.
Please note: An application to the free school will not impact on your application to
existing schools as part of your application via your Home authority and you should not
list the free school as one of your preferences on the local authority application
form.
Even if you are applying directly to Park Community School, you should still apply for
other schools by completing an application via your Home authority by 15 January
2014.
Remember, you are able to complete both an application for a place at the free school
and the local authority application form. Free school places will be offered directly by the
free school. Local authority offers will be made by the local authority on 16 April 2014
which is the national offer day. This means that you may receive two offers for a school
place.

Step 1
The admissions process
School preferences
You apply for schools through your own home Council, so if you live within the
Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, you will apply online through
Kingstons website www.kingston.gov.uk If you are unable to access the
website, you can complete one of our paper application forms available from
Kingston School Admissions Tel: 020 8547 4610.
You should only submit one application for your child naming up to six preferred
state schools, including schools in Kingston upon Thames and any that you wish
to apply for in any other Councils area, in the order that you prefer them.
Each school listed on your application form considers your childs

application separately against its admissions criteria only and not
according to the order of preference you give the school on your form.
This guarantees that, for example, an application from a parent who has ranked
the school as a fourth preference is treated in the same way as an application on
which the school is ranked as first preference.
Your order of preference is confidential. Schools are not told the preference
order in which you have listed them.
If you name schools in other Council areas, your home Council will pass details
of your application to the admissions authority of each school you wish to apply
to.
The admissions authority will then determine whether a place can be offered
using their published admissions criteria. This information will be passed back to
your home Council eg if you live in Kingston upon Thames and name a
Richmond Borough School as a preference, Richmond Council will let us know
whether your child has qualified for an offer.
If your child meets the admissions criteria for more than one of your preferred
schools, you will be offered a place at your highest preferred school by your own
home Council.
It is therefore important that you name the schools in the order that you most
prefer them because if you live quite close to several of your preferred schools,
you may qualify for them all under the distance criterion. If this happens, we will
offer you the school you named as your higher preference.

Think carefully about your preferences

You need to be realistic in making your preferences. This is because you may not
receive an offer at any of your preferred schools if your child is unlikely to meet the
admissions criteria. This could happen if you live too far away from the schools or if you
name a church school but do not attend the church connected to that school.
Changing your preferences or changing the order

You can make any changes to your application before the closing date. However, if you
wish to change your preferences after the closing date or you wish to change the
preference order, all your preferences would be considered as late applications unless
there are exceptional reasons for the change.
Before you submit your application

Please check that you:
are familiar with the admissions criteria for each school you are applying for;
are clear on the order in which you want to list the schools you are applying for;
do not waste a preference by naming a school where your child is unlikely to qualify
for a place;
have named your nearest community school and you have used all six preferences
as this will increase your chances of obtaining a place for your child at one of your
preferred schools.
If a preferred school is not offered

If there are more applications than places available, or if your child does not meet the
admissions criteria of any of the schools you named, your home Council will offer you a
place at the nearest school with places available, if possible.
When children start school in Kingston upon Thames

Children start school in the September of the school year in which they will become five
years of age, which means most children are four years old when they start school.
Children reach compulsory school age at the beginning of the term following their fifth
birthday. Compulsory school age means the age when a parent is legally required to
make sure that their child attends school (or is educated otherwise than at school).
Request to delay entry to school (known as deferred entry)

In Kingston, children start school full-time from September. You can request to delay
your childs entry to school until later in the school year, but only until the child reaches
compulsory school age in that school year. The latest your child can start school is at
the beginning of the summer term 2015. Once your child has been offered a place to
start in September 2014, please discuss your request with the Headteacher of the
school.
18
Step 2
Deciding which schools to apply for
The decision about which school you would like your child to attend is an important one.
To help you decide you should gather as much information as possible by:
Reading this booklet

Make sure you read this whole section about starting school. Also, look at the map on
pages 6 and 7 that shows you where the schools are located. Look at the table on
pages 37 to 39 that shows you how the places have been allocated for the last three
years at all the community infant and primary schools. On pages 42 to 56 we have
briefly summarised each academy, foundation and church schools admissions criteria
in a table showing how places have been allocated at these schools for entry in
September 2012 and September 2013.
Looking at the schools own information online

Look at the schools website for their own individual information about their school and
details of their admissions criteria.
Visiting schools
It is important for parents to visit schools before deciding which ones to apply for.
Please contact the schools you are interested in for information and details of open
days and visiting times.
Further information available about schools

Links to each schools inspection reports, produced by the Office for Standards in
Education (Ofsted), and The Department for Education (DfE) school performance tables
are available via each schools own website or on Kingston Councils website
www.kingston.gov.uk You can also look at copies in your local library or at
www.ofsted.gov.uk
Step 3
Applying for places
How to apply
You apply online through Kingstons website www.kingston.gov.uk or if you are
unable to access the website, you can complete one of our paper application forms
available from School Admissions Tel: 020 8547 4610 on request. However, you must
not do both. The closing date for applications is 15 January 2014. If you do not
have internet access at home and you would like to apply online, you may visit your
local library or ask about facilities at your childs nursery.
When making your application, name all your preferred schools, whether they are
schools in The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames or schools outside the
borough. Do not name any independent (private) schools. If you are applying to a
school which requires a supplementary information form you will need to complete this
and send it to the schools address stated on the form by the closing date of 15 January
2014. You can download these from the individual schools website or ask for one at
the school.
19
You must make an application even if your child currently attends the nursery at
your preferred school.
If your child has a brother or sister already in the school, you must still apply for a
place by 15 January 2014.
Brothers and sisters must still be attending the school in September 2014 to give
your child sibling priority for a place.
If you think there are exceptional family, social or medical needs which make a
school the most suitable for your child, you should make it clear on your
application and attach supporting evidence. See pages 23 and 24 for more
guidance on applying under this criterion.
If you are applying for more than one child e.g. twins, you must complete a
separate application for each child.
If you apply for a church school, you need to read the admission criteria carefully
to decide if your child is likely to be offered a place. A summary of the criteria
are on pages 41 to 56.
If applying for a church school, please check if you need to complete the schools
own extra form, known as the supplementary information form. Completed
supplementary information forms must be sent direct to the school to be
received no later than the closing date of 15 January 2014. The School
Governors are responsible for admissions to these schools, therefore any
questions you have about admission to these schools should be addressed
directly to the school.
Late applications
It is important that you apply by the closing date because if you forget and apply after,
your application will only be considered after all those received by the closing date.
This is unless you can provide documentary evidence to prove that there were
exceptional reasons that prevented you from applying on time.
Moving house during the application process

If you move into the area or within the area after the closing date please contact School
Admissions on 020 8547 4610 for advice.
If you apply for a school place or move into the area after the allocation of places,
you will be able to apply on the application form and name up to six preferences. We
will offer you a place at one of your preferred schools if this is possible. If all the places
at your preferred schools have been allocated, your childs name will be added to
waiting lists in criteria order.
If you move within the area after the allocation of places and you want to change
the schools you applied for, you will be able to complete a application form and name
your new preferred schools.
Children of UK Service Personnel

If you are a HM Forces family with a confirmed posting to this area, or a UK crown
servant returning from overseas to this area, you can apply for a school place by the
20
closing date of 15 January 2014. This is provided your application is accompanied by
official documentary evidence from your employer which confirms a relocation date and
your address in Kingston. The date you take up your post must be before the beginning
of term in September 2014.
Children who have Special Educational Needs

If your child is undergoing an assessment of special educational needs and you do not
know what the outcome will be by the closing date of application, please apply in the
normal way. If a particular school is later named in your childs Statement of Special
Educational Needs, a place will be provided automatically for your child at that school.
If your child has a Statement of Special Educational Needs, you do not need to
complete an application form. This is because your childs application will be dealt with
by the Special Educational Needs (SEN) Department.
To contact the SEN team, call Tel: 020 8547 4615. Your child will be offered a place at
the primary or infant school named in their Statement in accordance with the Education
Act 1996 and the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice. Similarly, an
assessment placement at a particular school considered most suitable for your childs
needs can be reserved pending the outcome of the statutory assessment.
ADMISSIONS CRITERIA
How schools decide which children to admit

If there are more applications received for a school than there are places available, the
school will use criteria (rules) to work out which children can be offered places in the
order of priority (after taking account of any children for whom the school is named in a
Statement of Special Educational Needs).
The criteria used by academy, foundation and church schools

For a summary of the criteria the academy, foundation and church schools use please
see pages 41 to 56. You are advised to view the full details of these criteria on the
schools website.
The criteria used by community infant and primary schools

These criteria will be applied to every application for a community school named as a
preference on the application form. The same criteria are used to draw up the waiting
list for the school. The distance from home to school, criterion (iv), is used as a tie-
breaker if there are more applications than places available under criterion (i), (ii) or (iii).
For applicants from the same block of flats, or who live the same distance from the
school, random selection by the drawing of lots is used as a final tie-breaker.
If a parent applies for entry into the same year group for more than one child and there
is only one place available, the parent will be asked to decide which child should have
the place. The names of the remaining brothers or sisters will be added to the waiting
list in accordance with criterion (ii). The criteria are as follows:
(i) places will be offered firstly to Looked After Children i.e. children who
are looked after by a public authority and are in public care, and previously
looked after children who were adopted, or subject to a residence order, or
special guardianship order, immediately following having been looked after.
Applications made under this criterion must be accompanied by details of
21
circumstance and professionally supported evidence (e.g. from a social
worker);
(ii) places will be offered next to children who have a brother or sister,
including an adopted, foster, half- or step- brother or sister, living at the
same address and attending the same school (or the paired junior school) at
the time of admission;
(iii) places will then be offered in cases of exceptional family, social or

medical need (which must be described on the application form and
verified by professionally supported evidence) which makes the school
concerned the most suitable one for the individual child;
(iv) the remaining places will be offered to children who live nearest to the
school, as measured by a straight line to the nearest school gate. All
distances will be measured using the School Admissions computerised
Geographical Information System. For Ellingham Primary School (in
Chessington) only, a child living in the Malden Rushett area will have priority
over children who live nearer to the school but outside that area.
Explanation of each criterion
(i) Looked After Children or Previously Looked After Children
To qualify for the highest priority, currently looked after and previously looked after
children are defined as:
children who are (a) in the care of a Local Authority, (LA) or (b) being provided
with accommodation by a LA in the exercise of their social services functions in
accordance with Section 22 of the Children Act 1989, at the time an application
for a school is made;
children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted
(in accordance with Section 46 of the Adoption and Children Act 2002), subject to
a residence order (in accordance with Section 8 of the Children Act 1989) or a
special guardianship order (in accordance with Section 14A of the Children Act
1989).
Required evidence for a looked after child:

If your child is currently in the care of a Local Authority, you must enclose a letter from
the social worker confirming this and the name of the Local Authority with whom the
child is in care.
Required evidence for a previously looked after child:

an Adoption Order under section 46 of the Adoption and Children Act 2002; or
a Residence Order settling the arrangements to be made as to the person with
whom the child is to live with under section 8 of the Children Act 1989; or
a Special Guardianship Order appointing one or more individuals to be a child's
Special Guardian(s), under section 14A of the Children Act 1989.
Please note that children adopted from overseas are not classified as children in public
care.
22
(ii) Brothers and sisters (including adopted, foster, half- or step- brothers or
sisters)
If you have a child currently attending your preferred primary, infant or paired junior
school (including the schools own nursery class), who will still be attending in
September 2014, living with you at the same address as the child you are applying for,
make sure you give that childs details on your application under sibling details.
(iii) Exceptional family, social or medical need
All Kingston schools have experience of dealing with children with different social
and medical needs. There will only be a few cases when a child has to go to a
specific school for exceptional family, social or medical reasons.
If you feel that you have any exceptional medical, family and/or social need why
your child must attend a particular school, you must complete the reasons for
preference box for that school and provide supporting evidence from a relevant
professional such as a doctor and/or consultant for medical cases or a social
worker, health visitor, housing officer, the police or probation officer for other
social circumstances.
This evidence must confirm the circumstances of the case and must set out why
the child must attend a particular school and why no other school could meet the
childs needs.
Providing evidence does not guarantee that a child will be given priority at a
particular school and in each case a decision will be made based on the merits of
the case and whether the evidence demonstrates that a placement should be
made at one particular school above any other.
Family, social or medical priority would normally only be given in exceptional

circumstances if the child or a close family member has an illness or disability, or if
there are any other exceptional reasons, which means that one school is more
suitable than another. For the purposes of this criterion, the meaning of disability is
pursuant to Section 6 and Schedule 1, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010.
You must provide this supporting evidence by the closing date, 15 January 2014.
You will need to provide this evidence even if you apply online.
All applications are considered individually and must include the following:
o Specific medical evidence that gives reasons and provides supporting

information why only one school can meet a childs individual needs. This can
be from a professional such as a GP, Hospital Consultant or Specialist or any
other medical professional, Social Worker, Educational Psychologist;
and/or
o Evidence and reasons which explain the familys exceptional circumstances,
including social reasons, why only one school can meet the childs needs and
why those needs cannot be met at any other school.
23
o If the requested school is not the nearest school to the childs home address,
provide clear reasons with supporting evidence to show why the nearest school
is not appropriate.
Evidence should make clear why only one school is appropriate and the effect on
your child if they do not attend this school.
We do not consider reasons such as your place of work, child care arrangements
or previous family connection to be strong enough to be considered under this
criterion. In addition, we do not normally consider educational reasons under this
criterion as support for a childs educational needs can be met at any of our
schools.
All applicants applying under this criterion are advised that the evidence that is
provided to support their application must be as detailed and objective as
possible.
Your request and supporting documents will be carefully considered by a panel

of senior officers. The panel will ensure that the evidence is assessed objectively
taking into account current admissions legislation, guidance and policy
documents including any equalities legislation which may be in force at the time.
Please submit supporting documentary evidence with your application form. This
should be in a sealed envelope and marked for the attention of the Councils
Schools Admission Office. If you apply online and request consideration under
this criterion, you must still submit supporting evidence. All information supplied
is treated in strictest confidence.
(iv) Distance from home to school
If your application is likely to be considered under the distance criterion, try to consider
whether you live close enough to the school for your child to qualify for a place. The
final cut-off distance for admissions in the last three years has been included in the
tables on pages 37 to 39. However, please note that for entry in September 2014
onwards we are changing the method of measuring home to school distances for all
schools, to a straight line measurement. Therefore, even if your address falls within the
previous years cut-off distances for a school, there is no guarantee your child will obtain
a place there for next September.
Measuring home to school distance

The Council uses a standard method of measuring home to school distance in a straight
line using the School Admissions computerised Geographical Information System using
data supplied by Ordnance Survey (OS). The starting point of the measurement is a grid
reference point, which is supplied by Ordnance Survey, within the property. The end
point is measured to the nearest school gate where the school has more than one
school gate. Please note that residents of every floor level in a particular block of flats
are given an identical starting point, regardless of the distance to ground floor level.
24
Childs home address
To ensure that offers of school places are made fairly, the Council is committed to
following strict address verification procedures. The Council will investigate any
applications where there are doubts about the information provided or where
information has been received to suggest a fraudulent application has been made.
We may seek evidence from Council records, schools or any other source we consider
appropriate.
The Council may make a home visit and refer cases to the Internal Audit and
Investigation Service for further investigation. This could lead to legal action.
If there are any doubts about the information you give, it will be checked. If you
use an incorrect address this will be considered as an attempt to obtain a
school place on the basis of false information and your application will be
withdrawn.
If an offer of a school place is made on the basis of false or misleading

information, the Council reserves the right to withdraw the offer at any stage
during the admissions process. In disputed cases we will make a judgement
based on evidence available to us.
Proof of Address
We will check Council records to confirm that the address you have given on your
application is your main home address. If there are any doubts about your address
details we will request further evidence.
The address you give on your application form must be the one at which your
child is permanently living on the closing date for applications. This must be the
address where your family are ordinarily resident.
An application can only be made from a single address and only a single
application can be made for each child.
You are not permitted to use a temporary address in order to secure a school
place for your child.
If you change your address during the application process, or during the first year
that your child starts at a school, you must inform the Councils School
Admissions Office within two weeks of your move and provide proof of your new
address.
If you move to a new address without telling us, and secure an offer of a school
place based on your old address, which you otherwise would not have been
offered, we shall deem this as misleading information and the offer of the school
place may be withdrawn.
25
If you own more than one property, we will ask you to provide further evidence to
demonstrate where you ordinarily reside to determine the address we will use for
your childs application.
If you own a property and are living at and apply from a different address, we will
assume that the second address is temporary and that the property you own is
where you ordinarily reside.
Where parents live separately, the application must be based on the address at
which the child lives most of the time. Where parents live separately but the child
lives equally with both parents at different addresses, the childs home address
will be taken to be the address of the main parent/carer receiving child benefit. If
you are not eligible for child benefit, please provide a legal document to confirm
your arrangements.
If you suspect that a parent has applied using an address that the child does not
live at please do not hesitate to let us know by telephoning 020 8547 4610. Any
information received will be treated in strictest confidence.
Step 4
Being offered a place
Your application outcome
If you applied online you will be sent an email during the evening of Wednesday 16 April
2014 advising you of the result of your application. After you receive this email, you will
be able to log in and view your application result online.
If you applied online and have been offered your first preference school, you will not
receive a letter and we will assume you have accepted this offer. If this is not the case,
please contact us.
If you applied online and have not been offered your first preference school you will also
be sent a letter by first class post on Wednesday 16 April 2014 with detailed
information about the result of your application and what to do next.
If your child meets the admissions criteria for only one of the schools you applied to,
your home Council will offer you a place at that school, whatever borough or county the
school is in.
If your child meets the admissions criteria for more than one school, your home Council
will look at your order of preference and offer you a place at the school that you have
given higher preference to on your application form.
If your child does not meet the admissions criteria for any of the schools you applied to
and you are a Kingston resident, Kingston Council will offer you a place at another
school where possible. This school will be the nearest Kingston school to your home
address with places remaining.
26
If you applied on paper, you will not be able to access the result of your application
electronically. You will be sent a letter by first class post on Wednesday 16 April 2014
with detailed information about the result of your application.
Parents will be asked to accept/decline any offers made no later than Wednesday 30
April 2014. After 19 May 2014, we will reoffer any Kingston school places that may
have become vacant since 16 April 2014, in accordance with the individual schools
admissions criteria. We are unable to make further offers any sooner as we have to
allow time for the exchange of information on offers and declines between neighbouring
Local Authorities.
Waiting lists for Royal Borough of Kingston schools
Your childs name will automatically be put on the waiting list of any school which is a
higher preference than the school he/she has been offered.
You may ask for your childs name to be added to the waiting list of a lower preference
school to the one your child has been offered, or one that you did not originally name as
a preference. His/her name will be added to the waiting list in criteria order.
The names of late applicants will be added to waiting lists in criteria order regardless of
the date the application was received.
Waiting lists for community schools will be held in criteria order (regardless of when an
application is received) until the end of the academic year in July 2015. After this date,
parents will have to request in writing to have their childs name added to a waiting list
for any community school.
For Academies, Foundation and Voluntary Aided Schools, please contact the individual
school for their waiting list arrangements.
Waiting lists for schools in other Council areas

Schools in other areas may operate their waiting lists in a different way to this Council
eg some schools may not keep waiting lists. Please check if you are applying for a
school in another area as to what arrangements they will follow.
27
Transferring to junior school
Step 1
The junior school admissions process
Children in separate infant schools (for four to seven year olds) transfer to a junior
school in the September following their seventh birthday, at the start of Year 3. If your
child is currently attending an infant school and was born between 1 September 2006
and 31 August 2007, he/she is due to attend a junior school from September 2014. You
will therefore need to complete a junior application form.
School preferences
You apply for any junior schools through your own home Council, so if you live
within the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, you will apply online through
Kingstons website www.kingston.gov.uk If you are unable to access the
website, you can complete a paper junior application form available from
Kingston School Admissions on 020 8547 4610. If you live in another Council
area, you will apply using their website. You should only submit one application
for your child naming your preferred junior schools in Kingston upon Thames and
any that you wish to apply for in any other Councils area, in the order that you
prefer them.
Each school listed on your application form considers your childs application
separately against its admissions criteria only and not according to the order of
preference you give the school on your form. This guarantees that, for example,
an application from a parent who has ranked the school as a second preference
is treated in the same way as an application on which the school is ranked as
first preference.
If you name junior schools in other Council areas, your home Council will pass
details of your application to the admissions authority of each school you wish to
apply to.
The admissions authority will then determine whether a place can be offered
using their published admissions criteria. This information will be passed back to
your home Council eg if you live in Kingston upon Thames and name a
Richmond Borough School as a preference, Richmond Council will let us know
whether your child has qualified for an offer.
If your child meets the admissions criteria for more than one of your preferred
schools, you will be offered a place at your highest preferred junior school by
your own home Council.
28
Step 2
Deciding which junior schools to apply for
Community infant schools and their paired community junior schools are listed below:
o Burlington Infant and Nursery School and Burlington Junior School

o Coombe Hill Infant School and Coombe Hill Junior School
o Tolworth Infant and Nursery School and Tolworth Junior School
If your child attends one of the above infant schools and you apply for a place at the
paired junior school, you are likely to qualify for an offer of a place. This is because
attending the infant school is the second highest criterion for allocating places if the
school receives more applications than places (see the table on page 40). However,
your childs transfer cannot be guaranteed as this will depend on how many applications
are received for children under the looked after category (these are children currently
or previously in public care), which is the highest priority for admission. If the school
receives none, then it is likely that all the children that currently attend the paired infant
school will qualify for an offer providing parents name the school as a preference on the
application form.
Schools paired with voluntary aided (church) junior schools
o Alexandra Infant School and St Pauls C of E Junior School

o Maple Infant School and St Andrews and St Marks C of E
Junior School
The governors of the voluntary aided junior schools are responsible for the admission of
pupils. A guide to their admissions criteria is given on pages 49 and 54 together with
details how places were offered last year.
Make sure you contact the individual church junior schools for full details of their
admissions policy, published in their own school prospectus, before naming the school
on your junior application form. Make sure you check if you need to complete the
schools own extra form, known as the supplementary information form. Please see
page 31, Applying for Church Junior Schools for further information.
Transferring to Year 3 from Maple Infant and Tolworth Infant and Nursery Schools
For entry in September 2014 only, children in current Year 2 at Maple Infant and
Tolworth Infant and Nursery Schools, applying for transfer into Year 3 in September
2014 will be able to apply for places at the paired junior schools, St Andrew and St
Marks C of E and Tolworth Junior Schools and at Lime Tree Primary School. This is
because there are more children in Year 2 at each of the two infant schools than there
are places available at the paired junior schools for September 2014 and there will be
some children who will not be offered a place at the paired junior school.
Children applying from these two infant schools will be given additional priority for
admission at Lime Tree Primary School. The Council has ensured that there are 60
Year 3 places available at Lime Tree Primary School for September 2014 with priority
for admission for current Year 2 children attending Maple Infant and Tolworth Infant and
Nursery Schools.
29
Parents who apply for St Andrews and St Marks C of E Junior School and Tolworth
Junior School are strongly advised to also apply for Lime Tree Primary School to
increase their chances of gaining a Year 3 place in September 2014.
Admissions criteria for entry into Year 3 at Lime Tree Primary School in 2014
If there are more applications received than there are places, the following criteria will
be used to decide which children can be offered places, in this order of priority (after
taking account of any children for whom the school is named in a Statement of Special
Educational Needs):
(i) places will be offered firstly to Looked After Children i.e. children who are
looked after by a public authority and are in public care, and previously looked
after children who were adopted, or subject to a residence order, or special
guardianship order, immediately following having been looked after. Applications
made under this criterion must be accompanied by details of circumstance and
professionally supported evidence (e.g. from a social worker);
(ii) places will be offered secondly to children currently attending Year 2 at

Tolworth Infant and Nursery and Maple Infant Schools;
(iii) places will be offered next to children who have a brother or sister, including
an adopted, foster, half- or step- brother or sister, living at the same address and
attending the same school at the time of admission;
(iv) places will then be offered in cases of exceptional family, social or medical
need (which must be described on the application form and verified by
professionally supported evidence) which makes the school concerned the most
suitable one for the individual child;
(v) the remaining places will be offered to children who live nearest to the
school, as measured by a straight line to the nearest school gate. All distances
will be measured using the School Admissions computerised Geographical
Information System.
These criteria will be applied to every application for a year 3 place at the school on the
junior application form.
The distance from home to school, criterion (v), is used as a tie-breaker if there are
more applications than places available under criterion (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv). For applicants
from the same block of flats, or who live the same distance from the school, random
selection by the drawing of lots is used as a final tie-breaker.
Step 3
Applying for junior school places
How to apply
You apply online through Kingstons website www.kingston.gov.uk or if you are

unable to access the website you can complete a paper form which is available from
School Admissions on 020 8547 4610. The closing date for applications is 15
30
January 2014. If you live in another Council area, you must apply on their junior
application form which will be available from your home Council office or online via your
own Councils website.
Complete the application naming your preferred junior schools, whether they are junior
schools in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames or junior schools outside the
borough. Do not name any primary schools or private schools.
If you have a child already attending your preferred junior school or paired infant
school, who will still be there in September 2014, make sure you give that
childs details on the form under the sibling details. See page 23 for further
details about applying under the sibling (brothers and sisters) criterion.
If you think there are exceptional family, social or medical needs which make a
school the most suitable for your child, you should make it clear on your
application and attach supporting evidence. See pages 23 and 24 for more
guidance on applying under this criterion.
If you are applying for more than one child, eg twins, you must complete a
separate application for each child.
You must only submit one junior application form. If we receive more than one
application for the same child, we will consider the most recent application received by
the closing date.
Late applications
It is important you apply by the closing date because if you forget and apply after, your
application will only be considered after all those received by the closing date. This is
unless you can provide documentary evidence to prove that there were exceptional
reasons that prevented you from applying on time.
Moving house during the application process

If you move into the area after the closing date please contact School Admissions on
020 8547 4610 for advice.
If you apply for a school place or move into the area after the allocation of places,
you will be able to apply on the Junior application form and name up to six preferences.
We will offer you a place at one of your preferred schools if this is possible. If all the
places at your preferred schools have been allocated, your childs name will be added
to waiting lists in criteria order.
If you move within the area after the allocation of places and you want to change
the junior schools you applied for, you will be able to complete another application form
and name your new preferred schools.
Applying for church junior schools
To apply for a church junior school place you must name the school as one of your
preferred schools on the Councils junior application form. You may also need to
complete an extra form, known as a supplementary information form, because
31
church schools may need additional information to apply their admissions criteria. For
example, they may require a reference from a parish priest or other minister of religion.
Please make sure that you read and fully understand the schools admissions criteria
before naming the school on your application. If the school require you to complete a
supplementary information form and you do not return this, your application for the
school may not be given full consideration.
Completed supplementary information forms must be sent direct to the school to

be received no later than the closing date of 15 January 2014. Any questions you
have about admission to these schools should be addressed directly to the school.
A brief summary of criteria for each of the church junior schools in our borough is listed
on pages 49 and 54 together with details of how places were allocated for the last two
years. This is only a guide. Please make sure that you read and fully understand the
schools admissions criteria published on their website or in their own school prospectus
before naming the school on your application form.
ADMISSIONS CRITERIA FOR THE COMMUNITY JUNIOR SCHOOLS
These criteria will be applied to every application for a community junior school named
as a preference on the junior application form. The same criteria are used to draw up
the waiting list for the school.
The distance from home to school, criterion (v), is used as a tie-breaker if there are
more applications than places available under criterion (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv). For applicants
from the same block of flats, or who live the same distance from the school, random
selection by the drawing of lots is used as a final tie-breaker.
If a parent applies for entry into the same year group for more than one child and there
is only one place available, the parent will be asked to decide which child should have
the place. The names of the remaining brothers or sisters will be added to the waiting
list in accordance with criterion (ii) or (iii) as applicable. The criteria are as follows:
(i) places will be offered firstly to Looked After Children i.e. children who are
looked after by a public authority and are in public care, and previously looked
after children who were adopted, or subject to a residence order, or special
guardianship order, immediately following having been looked after. Applications
made under this criterion must be accompanied by details of circumstance and
professionally supported evidence (e.g. from a social worker);
(ii) places will be offered secondly to children attending the paired community
infant school;
(iii) places will be offered next to children who have a brother or sister, including
an adopted, foster, half- or step- brother or sister, living at the same address and
attending the same school (or the paired infant school) at the time of admission;
(iv) places will then be offered in cases of exceptional family, social or medical
need (which must be described on the application form and verified by
32
professionally supported evidence) which makes the school concerned the most
suitable one for the individual child;
(v) the remaining places will be offered to children who live nearest to the
school, as measured by a straight line to the nearest school gate. All distances
will be measured using the School Admissions computerised Geographical
Information System.
The looked after children and previously looked after children criterion (i), the
brothers and sisters criterion (iii) and the exceptional family, social or medical need
criterion (iv) are explained in more detail on pages 22 to 24. The importance of your
home address and how the distance from your home to school is measured is also
explained on pages 24 to 26.
Children who have a Statement of Special Educational Needs

If your child has a Statement, you do not need to complete an application form. This
is because they will be offered a place at the junior school named in their Statement
in accordance with the Education Act 1996 and the Special Educational Needs Code
of Practice. Similarly, an assessment placement at a particular school considered
most suitable for the childs needs can be reserved pending the outcome of the
statutory assessment.
To apply for a Year 3 place in a primary school

If your child is in Year 2 at an infant school and you wish to apply for a Year 3 place
at a primary school, please contact us to find out if there are places available. If the
school has places available in the year group, your child may transfer when you
apply. All applications must be made through your own Home Council on an In-Year
application form.
If you only want to transfer your child in September 2014 and not before, you should
contact us towards the end of the summer term (the summer term ends on
Wednesday 23 July 2014), to see if the school has a place available in September
2014. This is because places available during the school year cannot be reserved
for children whose parents only wish them to start in September. As there is no
guarantee that your preferred primary school will be able to offer your child a place,
you are still advised to complete and return a Council junior application form
by the closing date of 15 January 2014. You must not name your preferred
primary school on this form.
Step 4
Being offered a junior school place
Your application outcome
If you applied online, you will be sent an email during the evening of Wednesday 16
April 2014 advising you of the result of your application. After you receive this email,
you will be able to log in and view your application result online. If you applied online but
have not been offered your first preference school you will also be sent a letter by first
class post on Wednesday 16 April 2014 with detailed information about the result of
your application and what to do next.
33
If you applied online and have been offered your first preference school, you will not
receive a letter and we will assume you have accepted this offer. If this is not the case
please contact us.
If you applied on paper, you will not be able to access the result of your application
electronically. You will be sent a letter by first class post on Wednesday 16 April 2014
with detailed information about the result of your application.
Parents will be asked to accept/decline any offers made no later than Wednesday 30
April 2014. Alternatively, if you applied online you can accept or decline your offer
online.

Please see page 27 for information about waiting lists.

Applying for place during the School Year
In-Year Admissions
How to apply for a school place if you move in to the Borough

All applications for a school place in Kingston upon Thames must be made on the In-
Year Primary Application Form. If you move into the Kingston area and want a local
primary school place for a child who is already of school age you will need to complete
an In-Year Application Form. Please telephone the Councils School Admissions Office
on Tel: 020 8547 4610 to ask for a copy or you can download it from our website at
www.kingston.gov.uk You may list up to four state schools situated in this borough in
the order that you prefer them.
Kingston Council coordinates all in-year applications for schools in the Borough. We
will pass on your childs details to the admissions authorities for the schools you have
named and they will let you know if your child has qualified for a place. If none of the
schools to which you apply are able to offer your child a place we will advise you of the
nearest school with a vacancy and you will be able to make another application.
Please note your child will be expected to start in the correct year group for their age.
Your family must already be living in the property before you can apply for a school
place except in the following circumstances:
If you are a HM Forces family with a confirmed posting to this area, or a UK crown
servant returning from overseas to this area, you can apply for a school place up to four
months in advance of your return. This is provided your application is accompanied by
official documentary evidence from your employer which confirms a relocation date and
your address in Kingston.
To apply for a school outside Kingston, please contact the Council where the school is
situated for more information. Contact details for neighbouring Councils can be found
on pages 63-66.
Transfers between schools

If you want your child to transfer to another school because you have moved house and
the journey is proving difficult, let your childs present Headteacher know that you are
going to do this before contacting the Headteacher of another school.
If you want to transfer your child for reasons other than moving house, you should first
discuss this with your childs present Headteacher. This is because a childs education
usually benefits most when he or she has continuity of teaching and learning in the
same school. This also ensures that your childs present Headteacher is fully aware of
your reasons for wanting to transfer your child and has the opportunity to discuss this
with you.
35
If you still want to move your child, please ring the School Admissions Team on Tel: 020
8547 4610 for information on schools with places and we will send you an application
form to complete.
If you are not given a place at the school you prefer, you have the right to appeal, as
explained on pages 57 and 58. The right to appeal applies to all schools whether they
are community, voluntary aided, foundation or an academy.

Appeals for primary school places
General
You have the legal right to appeal against a decision not to offer your child a place at
any or all of the schools to which you have applied. You are entitled to appeal for a
place at your preferred school even though your child may have a place somewhere
else.
The admissions authority for the school you are applying to is required to explain why
your child has not been offered a place at that school. They must also explain how you
can appeal against this decision.
Your appeal will be heard by an appeal panel, which is independent of the school and
the admissions authority whose decision you are appealing against. You have the
right to attend the hearing to explain your case to the independent appeal panel.
There are strict rules covering the appointment of the appeal panel members to ensure
their impartiality and independence. The appeal panels decision is binding on the
admissions authority and the school, in other words the admissions authority and the
school must accept the appeal panels decision.
Appeal rules followed for all infant classes ie Reception, Years 1 and 2
The law states that there must not be more than 30 pupils in an infant class. If your
child has been refused a place an appeal can only be successful in very limited
circumstances. The appeal panel must consider the following:
o Whether the child would have been offered a place if the admission
arrangements had not been contrary to mandatory provisions in the School
Admissions Code and the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (in
other words, the admission arrangements are found to be unlawful); and/or
o Whether the child would have been offered a place if the admissions
arrangements had been followed properly; or
o Whether the decision to refuse admission was not one which a reasonable
admission authority would have made in the circumstances of the case.
In order for the panel to judge that an admission authority had acted unreasonably,
they would have to be satisfied that the decision to admit the child was perverse in
the light of the admission arrangements ie the decision taken was so outrageous in
its defiance of logic or of accepted moral standards that no sensible person could
ever have reached it.
Appeal rules followed for all other year groups (ie Years 3 to 6)
When considering an appeal for any other year group, appeal panels follow a two-
stage process in reaching decisions.
o First: a factual stage: at which the panel considers whether the schools
published admission arrangements were correctly applied in the individuals
case, and decides whether prejudice (or harm) would arise to the efficient
provision of education and/or the efficient use of resources in the school if the
child was admitted.
57
o Second: a balancing stage: at which the panel exercises its discretion,
balancing between the degree of prejudice to the school (or harm) and the
weight of the parents case, before arriving at a decision.
Appeals for community schools

You have the right to appeal against a decision not to offer your child a place at your
preferred community school. Full details of how to make an appeal will be given to
you if your child is refused a place at your preferred school.
Appeals for academies, voluntary aided and foundation schools

You are entitled to appeal against the decision of the governing body of an academy,
voluntary aided or foundation school not to offer your child a place. Full details of
how to make an appeal will be given to you by the school if your child is refused a
place. An independent appeal panel will hear your appeal. This independent appeal
panel will be bound by the same rules as an independent appeal panel for a
community school (see above). This includes appeals for admission to infant classes
because the legal limit of 30 on the size of an infant class applies to all types of state
school. The decision of the appeal panel is binding upon the governing body of the
voluntary aided, foundation or academy school.
Special educational provision

Both the Council and schools have a duty to provide for all pupils, including those with
Special Educational Needs (SEN). Schools place great importance on identifying SEN
early so that they can help children as quickly as possible. If you think your child may
have a special educational need that has not been identified through medical screening
or by your childs nursery class/early education setting, you should talk to your childs
class teacher, to the SEN Co-ordinator (SENCO) or to the Headteacher.
All children with SEN should have a broad and well-balanced education and council-
maintained schools must do their best to see that special help is provided for all children
with SEN. Most childrens needs can be met from within the resources normally
available to the school through its funding for additional educational needs.
However, if your child has significant special needs that cannot be met from within the
schools resources (currently known as School Action or School Action Plus) and the
provision necessary is likely to exceed that which is normally available to mainstream
schools, the school may ask the Council to carry out a statutory assessment, with your
agreement. If the Council decides that a statutory assessment is necessary then advice
would be sought from you, the school, an educational psychologist, the health service
and social services in line with the Governments SEN Code of Practice.
Further advice may be sought from the Statutory Assessment Team, Guildhall 2,
Kingston upon Thames KT1 1EU on Tel: 020 8547 4615.
You can also contact the Kingston Parent Partnership Service. This service offers
impartial advice and support about educational matters to parents and carers of children
with Special Educational Needs. It is part of the Disabled Childrens Information Service
58
provided by Enhanceable. The Parent Partnership Service can be contacted by
telephone on Tel: 020 8547 6203.
School discipline
Discipline is the responsibility of the governing body and the Headteacher of each
school and details can normally be found in the individual school prospectus or
information booklet.
Anti-bullying policy
The Council is opposed to bullying or harassment of any kind. We have issued
guidance to schools on preventing and tackling bullying. Each school has developed its
own clear anti-bullying policy and guidance. Governors, staff, pupils and parents at
each school are expected to respect and be committed to the schools policy.
We encourage schools to take a clear and strong stance against all forms of
unacceptable behaviour, especially bullying. Schools have a legal duty to take
measures to prevent all forms of bullying amongst pupils.
Home to school transport

All children under 11 years old, who live in a London Borough and are in full-time
education travel free of charge on London buses and trams. Children over 11 years old
are able to travel free of charge provided they have a valid Oyster Photocard.
Oyster Photocard application forms are available from main post offices. If you require
further information on Oyster cards or bus routes please contact Transport for London
on 0845 300 7000 or visit their website http://www.tfl.gov.uk
The Local Authority expects free bus and tram travel to be used by all pupils where the
journey time is scheduled by Transport for London at 45 minutes or less for primary
aged pupils. The Local Authority may provide a travel card to enable your child to travel
by train if they are of primary school age and attend their nearest suitable school which
is over two miles and the scheduled bus journey time is over 45 minutes.
Further consideration may be given to those families on low incomes and those children
who are attending a school for denominational reasons.
If you require further information about mainstream home to school travel you can visit
the Kingston Council website at www.kingston.gov.uk or contact the Commissioning
and Procurement Officer on 020 8547 5256.
Travel Arrangements for Children with Special Educational Needs/Disabilities

Where children with Special Educational Needs are attending mainstream schools, or
special schools or specialist resourced provision, the Council may assist with transport if
the assessment of the childs needs indicates that such assistance is necessary. This
59
may take the form of reimbursement of parental mileage costs, or a place on a pre-
arranged vehicle.
The Council will not normally assist with home to school transport where the parents
preferred school is further from home than the nearest suitable school. This does not
limit parents preference for any individual schools but should be taken into
consideration by parents when choosing a suitable school. If your child already
accesses Home to School transport assistance and then changes school, or moves
from a specialist class to take up a mainstream place at the same school, we will re-
assess their transport needs against our policy. This may mean that transport which
has been available is no longer provided. Please consider your childs travel needs and
journey before you decide which schools to apply for.
Appeals against decisions not to assist with transport will be heard by a Panel of elected
Council Members. For more information, you can visit Kingston Councils web site
www.kingston.gov.uk or contact the Commissioning Officer on Tel: 020 8547 5304.
Summary of the Sustainable

Modes of Travel Strategy
The Sustainable Modes of Travel Strategy (the Strategy) for Kingston upon Thames
has been developed in response to both local and national initiatives. For the last few
years many schools in the borough of Kingston upon Thames have been writing school
travel plans annually. These help schools understand the travel arrangements and
aspirations of their pupils, and implement measures that will improve safety on the
school journey, reduce the number of car trips and encourage walking, cycling and
other sustainable modes of transport to school.
According to the Education and Inspections Act 2006, sustainable modes of travel are
those that improve the physical well-being of the people that use them, and the
environmental well-being of the whole or a part of their area.
The government requires all local authorities to promote the use of sustainable travel to,
from and between schools as part of the duty of the Education and Inspections Act
2006. There are four main elements of this duty to promote sustainable travel:
Assessment of travel and transport needs of pupils

Audit of sustainable travel and transportation infrastructure
A strategy to develop the sustainable travel and infrastructure
Promotion of sustainable travel
The Councils Sustainable Modes of Travel strategy sets how Kingston will meet these
four main elements of the duty to promote sustainable travel. The purpose of the
Strategy is to foster change in the travel patterns of school communities towards safer,
healthier and environmentally friendly methods of travel.
School Travel Plans form the main mechanism for implementing the strategy. School
Travel Plans are specific to each school as it is widely recognised that what works in
one school in one locality may not work at another school.
60
School Travel Plans are a package of measures that aim to promote alternatives to
single occupancy car trips and improve safety and perception of safety on the school
journey. School Travel Plans include advice for parents about existing travel to school,
plans for improvement and are available either through the schools websites or by
contacting schools direct. Each School Travel Plan has been developed through
consultation with the whole school community and other relevant bodies.
98% of schools in Kingston have an approved travel plan which they are requested to
review annually, taking into account any changes in the locality of the schools such as
traffic or changing needs of pupils and staff.
If you would like more information, a copy of the full Strategy is available at
http://www.kingston.gov.uk/browse/education/schools/transport_to_school/susta
inable_modes_of_travel_strategy.htm or contact the Commissioning and
Procurement Officer on 020 8547 5256.
Free school meals

Your child may be entitled to free school meals if you are in receipt of one of the
following:
Income Support
Income based Job Seekers Allowance
Income related Employment and Support Allowance
Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
The Guarantee element of State Pension Credit
Child Tax Credit provided they are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an
annual income (as assessed by HM Revenue & Customs) that does not exceed
16,190
Working Tax Credit run-on the payment someone may receive for a further four
weeks after they stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit.
From 6th April 2012, Working Tax Credit rules for couples changed and because of the
increase in the number of hours a couple has to work in order to qualify, some families
may have lost their entitlement to Working Tax Credit. Those families may be entitled to
free school meals if they now satisfy any of the above criteria.
Nursery aged children eligible for free school meals can be provided with a free school
meal if they are receiving education before and after lunch.
Please see the Councils website at www.kingston.gov.uk/education/schools

/school_meals for further information and where you can apply on line, or contact the
Information and Advice Centre on 020 8547 5004 for support in applying or to confirm
your eligibility.
A free school meal consists of a nutritionally balanced lunch which meets the current
government nutritional standards for primary schools. Where schools serve hot meals,
a free hot meal will be provided to children who are eligible.
61
