considered against the determined admission arrangements only, including the application of oversubscription criteria where applicable. We will not give a lower priority on the basis that the child is not of the correct age. Parents’ statutory right to appeal against the refusal of a place at a school for which they have applied will not apply if they are offered a place at the school but it is not in their preferred age group. In addition if the request to be admitted to a different year group has not been accepted and a parent then appeals for a place for their child any appeal that is heard would relate to the child’s normal age group, i.e. the appeal would not be for admission to the requested year group. In year admissions Admissions for entry outside of the normal admissions round will be dealt with in accordance with this policy. Gillotts participates in Oxfordshire County Council’s co-ordinated In Year Admissions Scheme. It covers all admissions for entry outside the normal admissions round. Offers or refusals will be determined by the Governing Body but will be communicated by the LA. The LA’s Common Application Form (Secondary In Year) will be used for all in year admissions. Fair access protocol The Fair Access Protocol is part of the admission arrangements of Gillotts School because it has adopted the same admission arrangements as community schools. Appeals If you are not offered a place at our school you have the right to appeal to an independent panel. Appeal papers will normally be sent out with offer letters to all those parents who were offered a school lower on their preference list than Gillotts. Please ensure that these are headed with the school name and address and are returned to the Clerk to the Governing Body at the school. The closing date on the appeal application form must be adhered to. If you are in any doubt please contact the school and we will send you appeal forms. Fraudulent applications If a place has been obtained on the basis of a fraudulent or intentionally misleading application (for example, a false claim to residence in a designated/ catchment area) and this results in the denial of a place to a child with a stronger claim, we may withdraw the offer of the place.
