Scheme of Coordination.
A Summary of the Starting School/Transfer Process for Schools in West
Sussex for 2022/2023
1.
On the website, the Pupil Admissions Team provides parents with
information on West Sussex schools and how to apply, online or on paper.
2.
Parents may obtain supplementary information forms (SIFs) directly from
own admission authority schools, where necessary, or from the Local
Authority (LA).
3.
The Pupil Admissions Team receives all applications. Application forms sent
directly to schools are passed to the Pupil Admissions Team. All applications
received by schools should be date stamped. Those received after the
closing date should be date stamped and marked ’Late’.
4.
Parents may return the supplementary information form (SIF) directly to
the school concerned or to the LA. The school is required to inform the Pupil
Admissions Team of any forms it receives to check there has been a valid
application made.
5.
The Pupil Admissions Team passes a list of the applications for voluntary
aided and foundation schools and academies to the relevant admission
authority, and out of county schools to the relevant council.
6.
All admission authorities order all applications against their oversubscription
criteria.
7.
Ordered lists of applications are returned to the Pupil Admissions Team as
specified on the agreed timelines.
8.
Late applications for community and voluntary controlled schools are
processed after those received by the official closing date, unless it has been
agreed to treat them as having been received on-time. Late applications to
voluntary aided or foundation schools or academies will be passed to the
relevant school(s) for late consideration and returned for an offer to be
made by the LA.
9.
The Pupil Admissions Team reconciles all lists and determines the final offer.
If a child can be offered a place at more than one school, he/she will be
offered a place at the school ranked higher in the preferences on the
application. If none of the preferences can be met, a place will be offered at
the catchment school, where possible, or the nearest school to the child’s
home with places available, if the catchment school is full. If the nearest
school with a place available is a voluntary aided or foundation school or
academy, the Pupil Admissions Team will agree with the admission authority
for the school to offer places to those whose preferences could not be met.
3
10.
For secondary and junior transfers, if an application has not been received
a place will be offered at the catchment school, where possible, or the
nearest school to the child’s home with places available, if the catchment
school is full (as in paragraph 9, above).
11.
The Pupil Admissions Team notifies schools of offers to be made. This
information must remain confidential until after the Pupil Admissions Team
has written to parents on offer day.
12.
The Pupil Admissions Team notifies parents by email where parents have
applied online, this will be followed up by a letter if the parent did not
receive their preferred preference. The letter will contain the reasons for
the decision and the right of appeal. Parents who submitted paper forms
will not receive an e mail but a letter in the post. Where the place offered
is at a voluntary aided or foundation school or an academy, this is done on
behalf of the admission authority.
13.
Together with the allocation notification, the Pupil Admissions Team
explains the right of appeal to any parent who is not offered their
preferred school. This includes how parents can obtain appeal information
and on line application form. Own admission authorities are responsible for
organising their own appeals, unless they have an agreement with WSCC
Legal Services.
14.
A waiting list will be set up for all schools and maintained by the Pupil
Admissions Team until 1 September of the year of entry. The waiting list is
actually ordered as places become available and parents will be offered a
place in the correct order. Following that it will pass to schools that are
their own admission authority to hold, for at least one term as required by
the School Admissions Code or longer, as specified in their admission
arrangements.
15.
Schools must advise the Pupil Admissions Team of all leavers from all year
groups immediately, so that places can be offered, after allocation until 1
September, when in-year admission processes apply.

Oversubscription Criteria for Steyning Grammar School for admission in
September
2022/2023
(Oversubscription Criteria for previous years is available on the West Sussex County
Council admissions website.)
West Sussex County Council Oversubscription Criteria
These are the criteria that apply to the majority of community and voluntary
controlled schools.
The tie-break used is a straight line distance. All distances are measured by
a straight line from the school to the child’s home address, using Ordnance
Survey data within the curtilage of the property.
Where priority is given for a sibling, brothers or sisters may be half or step-
siblings (by marriage or co-habitation) or foster siblings but must be living
permanently at the same address.
West Sussex County Council only gives sibling priority if the older sibling will
be at the school at the time of application and will still be in the school at the
time of admission; or if the sibling will be attending the linked junior school
in September 2022. It is the parent’s responsibility to tell the Pupil
Admissions Team about sibling links in their application.
Siblings of children who have been refused a place at their catchment school
because the school was oversubscribed at the point of application will be
treated as living in the catchment area for the school allocated when they
apply for starting school. This will only apply if an application was made for
the catchment school and the place refused in writing. It is the parent’s
responsibility to indicate these circumstances in their application.
West Sussex County Council allows gives priority to children of staff in either
or both of the following circumstances (following section 1.39 of the School
Admissions Code):
a)
where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or
more years at the time which the admission to the school is made,
and/or
b)
the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a
demonstrable skill shortage.
It is the parent’s responsibility to indicate these circumstances in
their application.

Relevant area for consultation
The Relevant Area is the whole of the county. However, admission authorities
are expected to consult only parents and the admission authorities for schools in
their locality, not the whole county. In the case of primary schools, consultation
is required with the admission authorities for only primary schools in their
locality, while secondary school admission authorities must consult both
secondary schools and all primary schools in the locality.
