Admissions criteria
The below criteria has been summarised , for the full admissions policy and arrangements please visit the school website : www . khalsaschool . co . uk
Where the number of applications is greater than the planned admission number , applications will be considered against the criteria set out below .
After the allocation of children with an EHC plan , the admission criteria will be applied in the following order of priority :
1 . Looked After children ( Children who are in Public Care as defined in section 22 of the 1989 Children ’ s Act – this includes foster children ).
The highest priority must be given to Looked After Children and previously Looked After Children . Previously Looked After Children , are children who were looked after , but ceased to be so because they were adopted ( or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order ). Including children who appear ( to the admission authority ) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted .
2 . Children of staff in the school who have been employed in the school for two or more years at the time of the application for admission is made . Priority will be limited to one place for each form of entry in any year .
After applications under criteria 1 and 2 have been allocated the remaining places will be offered as follows :
3 . Sikh Faith . The governors will reserve 80 % of the remaining places in Reception and Nursery for applicants practising the Sikh faith . This will entail children living with parents ( single / both ), legal guardians or carers demonstrating a deep commitment to the Sikh faith and who worship a minimum of four times a month at a Gurdwara . Evidence of this will need to be submitted within the Supplementary Information Form ( SIF ). A Head Granthi ( Priest ) and or another duly authorised person ( s ) of the Gurdwara would have to certify to the above . In the event of a short fall under this criterion , the remaining places will roll over to list criterion 3 .
4 . Other Faith . The governors will reserve the remaining 20 % ( up to 12 places in Reception and 10 places in Nursery ) for applicants from other faiths other than Sikhs ( e . g . Christian , Muslim , Hindu , Buddhist or Jewish etc .). Evidence of this will need to be submitted within the Supplementary Information Form ( SIF ). Attendance should be at a public place of worship e . g . – Church , Temple , Mosque , Synagogue on four times a month basis and be confirmed by a supportive reference from your religious leader ( Minister of Religion )/ duly authorised person as at 2 above for Sikhs .
In the event that these places are not taken up by the closing dates for applications , these places will be offered to Sikh applicants who worship a minimum of four times a month as in criterion 2 above and in the event of there being insufficient Sikh applicants the places will be offered to those in criterion 4 .
5 . Any surplus places not filled by any of the above criteria will be allocated to those children whose parents / legal guardians / carers have applied and live nearest to the school ( as measured in a straight line from the child ’ s home address to the main entrance of the school ).
Within each criterion , priority will be given to :
a . Children with at least one sibling in the school at the time of admission . The qualifying relationship is brother and sister , this means children sharing one or both common parents , step brother / sister , or legally adopted children , who live in the same household .
b . Children living the shortest distance from the school will be given priority within each category . Distance is measured by straight line using the local authority measuring system from a point in the property to the main gate entrance which is used by pupils to enter the school grounds .
