8 (1) (k) The pupil is above compulsory school age This applies to Year 11 pupils who do not wish to return to the school in the following academic year. The official school leaving date for Year 11 pupils is the last Friday in the month of June, in the school year in which they turn 16. This may also apply to the small minority of pupils who have been moved into a lower year group but have reached the end of their official school-leaving age. Such pupils must be given an opportunity to confirm their intention to continue attending, or not. School-leavers under this category who are at risk of becoming NEET (not in education, employment or training) should be referred to the Target Youth Support Team (TYS). Referrals should be made via the Common Assessment Framework (CAF) Pre-assessment Checklist. 8 (1) (l) The pupil is leaving a school that is not maintained by the government This relates to pupils leaving the roll of a school in the independent sector. It is not relevant to government-maintained schools, academies and free schools in Barnet. 8 (1) (m) The pupil has been permanently excluded The permanent exclusion of a pupil does not take effect until the deadline for an independent appeal has expired or the decision to permanently exclude has been upheld at the appeal hearing. Schools must notify the Local Authority Exclusions Officer on the first day of the exclusion and comply with existing procedures for schools exclusions. 8 (1) (k) and 8(3) Nursery leaving school This applies to children who have been admitted to a school to receive nursery education and are not transferring to Reception or a higher class at the school. Although it is not a legal requirement to upload a CTF for children who have not reached compulsory school age (the start of the school term following their fifth birthday), it is good practice to do so. NOTE The timescales for referral to the EWO, CME Officer or Targeted Worker differ in respect of those returning from leave of absence and those who have simply failed to return. As children who do not return from exceptional leave can be removed from roll after 10 days, they should be referred after 5 days. All absentee chlldren should be referred as CMS cases after 10 days of absence. These children can be removed from roll after a total of 20 days unless information to the contrary arises.
