Admissions Policy for September 2010

The County Council agreed the following Admissions Arrangements for 2010 for Surrey’s Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools:

1. All Surrey schools will operate an Equal Preference System and give parents the opportunity to state 3 ranked school preferences.

2. The admission arrangements remain unchanged for September 2010 for the majority of Surrey’s Community and Voluntary Controlled schools as follows:
   1. Looked After Children
   2. Exceptional arrangements
   3. Siblings
   4. Children for whom the school is the nearest
   5. Any other applicant

Home to School measurements

For the majority of Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools, in the event of any category being over subscribed, home to school distance will be measured by a straight line from the address point of the pupil’s house, as set by Ordnance Survey to the nearest school gate for pupils to use.

Waiting Lists

Waiting list places will be allocated as and when vacancies occur according to the admission arrangements.
