4.ADMISSIONS POLICY 2017-2018

St. Peter & St. Paul School is a Voluntary Aided Church of England Infant school for boys and girls. The
Published Admission Number for the school is 30. St Peter & St Paul Church of England School has a distinctive
Christian ethos which is at the heart of this school and provides an inclusive, caring and supportive environment
where children learn and flourish in a setting shaped by Christian values. We welcome applications from all
members of the community and we ask all parents to respect the Christian ethos of our school and its importance
to our community.
Applications for Admission
The school is part of the locally agreed co-ordination scheme and the timescales for applications to be received
and processed are those agreed with the local authority. Parents/carers must complete their home Local
Authority’s Common Application Form (CAF) and return the form to that Authority; if applying for a place at this
school, parents must name this school as one of the preferences on the CAF. In addition, parents/carers
submitting evidence that their application fulfils the faith based criteria, (see priorities e, f, & g below) or where the
child has a sibling at the school (see priority d below) or is an existing staff member (see priority h below) will
need to complete a supplementary form (see appendix 1) and return this to the school by the closing date for
applications. Failure to return the supplementary information form will mean that the school cannot consider the
application under the church, sibling or children of staff criteria. In this case the application will be considered
under the next most appropriate criteria based on the information on the CAF. The closing date for all applications
is in line with the LA date, following an opportunity to visit the school.
Before a place is offered, a copy of the council tax reference number will be requested as evidence of
residency.
For ‘on-time applications’, parents are informed of the success or otherwise of their application by 18th April
2017.
Late applicants will be considered in accordance with the Surrey Co-ordinated admission scheme.
Oversubscription Criteria
Whilst we would always hope to be able to offer places to all parents who choose St. Peter & St. Paul School for
their children, in the event of the school being over-subscribed, places would be offered in the following order of
priority: -

Looked after children or previously looked after children (see note 1)
Children with an exceptional and professionally supported medical or social need (see note 2)
Children resident in the ecclesiastical parish of Chaldon (Appendix 2 – list of roads)
Siblings of children who are attending the school at the time of entry or within the previous 3 years (In this
instance siblings are blood relatives, step siblings, foster and adopted children living at the same address)
Children or parents who are Practising Members (see note 4) of Chaldon Church or live and are Practising
Members of Church of England churches in bordering parishes (see Appendix 3)
Children or parents who live in bordering parishes and are Practising Members of other Christian churches which
are members of Churches Together in England, the Evangelical Alliance and Affinity Churches. (See Note 4 and
Appendix 3)
Children or parents who live in bordering parishes and are Practising Members of other faiths (See Note 4 and
Appendix 3)
Children of staff where the member of staff has been employed for two or more years at the time at which the
application is made and/or the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there has been a
demonstrable skills shortage
Other children in order of their distance from their home to the school entrance (calculated using Surrey County
Council’s Geographical Information System)

Notes:

Looked after children are children who are registered as being in the care of a local authority or provided with
accommodation by a local authority in accordance with Section 22 of the Children Act 1989(a), e.g. fostered or
living in a children’s home, at the time an application for a school is made; and
Previously looked after children are children who have previously been in the care of a local authority or provided
with accommodation by a local authority in accordance with Section 22 of the Children Act 1989(a) and who have
left that care through adoption, a child arrangements order (in accordance with Section 8 of the Children Act 1989
and as amended by the Children and Families Act 2014) or special guardianship order (in accordance with
Section 14A of the Children Act 1989). The Governors will require written confirmation that the child is looked
after or previously looked after, and will be so at the time of making an application to the school.

4.ADMISSIONS POLICY (Cont)

2. For children with known exceptional and professionally supported medical or social needs, supporting
evidence must be supplied at the time of application from a specialist health professional, social worker or
educational psychologist. Supporting evidence must give specific reasons why St Peter and St Paul C of E Infant
School is the most appropriate school and the difficulties that would be caused if a child had to attend another
school.

3. Tiebreaker – If, having taken account of the order of priorities above, the number of applications meeting
the next priority exceeds the number of remaining places, then priority will be given to those applicants living
closest to the entrance of the school grounds. This distance is calculated automatically by Surrey County
Council’s Geographical Information System. If applicants live equidistant from the school the Governing Body
will draw lots to decide between applicants.

4. The following definition has been agreed with the Church of England Caterham Team Ministry and
applies equally to each of the Church of England schools within the Caterham Team Ministry parishes.

Practising member of the Church of England means demonstrating a regular commitment by an attendance at
least once a month over the previous twelve month period prior to the period of application by the child or at
least one parent/carer.

This definition will also be applied to Practising Members of other Christian Churches and to practising members
of other faiths, taking consideration as necessary of possible differences in methods of worship and leadership.

Written evidence of the applicant’s commitment to their place of worship will be required by the governing body
from the minister of the church attended by the applicant or the faith leader. This will be achieved through
completion of the Supplementary Information Form in Appendix 1.

Deferred entry

The school admits children to the reception class in the September of the school year in which a child attains the
age of 5 years. (The school year runs from 1st September to 31st August.) All parents/carers are entitled to a full-
time place for their child in the reception class from September, but may defer entry until the beginning of the
term after their child is five years (i.e, when the child reaches compulsory school age) or until the beginning of
the summer term whichever is earlier. Children may attend part-time until their child reaches compulsory school
age. Parents/carers who have been offered a place at the school and wish to defer entry for their child and/or
attend part-time must put this in writing to the head teacher at the earliest opportunity and before the start of the
Autumn Term.

Educating children out of their normal (chronological) year group

Children are normally educated in school with others of their age group; however, in exceptional circumstances
parents/carers may seek a place outside of their child’s normal age group. Ultimate responsibility for these
decisions lies with the Governing Body. Applicants must state clearly why they feel admission to a different year
group is in the child’s best interests and may provide recent professional evidence to support this. For further
information on educating children out of their chronological year group, please see
www.surreycc.gov.uk/admissions.

In addition, parents of summer born children (those born between April 1st and August 31st) can request that their
child be admitted to reception a year later outside of their chronological age group, thereby starting school only
once they reach statutory school age. This does not apply to children born in the Autumn and Spring as these
children must legally be in school full time in the term after they turn five.

4.ADMISSIONS POLICY (Cont)

Waiting List

The school operates a waiting list which is ordered in accordance with the oversubscription criteria. The
waiting list is held until the end of the autumn term. Parents may request in writing to join the waiting list. If an
application is received and a child is added to the waiting list, the list will be re-ranked in accordance with the
oversubscription criteria.

In Year Admissions

Admissions during the school year only occur if a place becomes available. In year admissions are managed
by Surrey County Council and take place in line with our admission priorities above. Parents/carers wishing to
apply in year must complete the relevant application forms as applicable.

Special Educational Needs

Parents of pupils who have a statement of special educational needs or an Educational Health Care Plan
(EHCP) apply for school places through the local authority from whom advice is available. If a child with a
statement/EHCP is placed in the school by the local authority before the normal admission round, the number
of places available to other applicants will be reduced.

Fair Access

The school is committed to taking its fair share of pupils who are hard to place in accordance with the locally
agreed fair access protocol. Pupils admitted under the protocol will take priority over any children on the
waiting list and this may include, on occasion, admitting above the planned admission number.

Appeals

Parents have a right of appeal against the Governors’ decision to refuse admission and must do so within 20
school days of the decision letter refusing a place. For further information, please refer to
www.surreycc.gov.uk/admissions

is not causing an obstruction. All sizes of vehicles need to be able to pass a
parked vehicle without crossing the central double white lines.
If parents are collecting 3 or more school children, you may request a
parking permit from the school office that allows you to park on our
driveway.

6. ACCOMMODATION

There has been a Church school in Chaldon since 1870.
The original building in Rook Lane is now a private house
and the present school was opened in 1965.
There are three well-equipped classrooms, all with
outside access to the playing field. The hall is regularly
used for physical education and drama as well as for
school assemblies, school productions and parent
functions. It is also used at mealtimes. Other areas
include a library, the purple room (a learning area), a
well-stocked resource room. The school is well equipped
laptops and interactive whiteboard in the classrooms and
central areas.
We are very fortunate to have such beautiful grounds and
large outdoor play facilities, which include an
environmental studies area, two secure ponds and a
sensory garden as well as a fitness trail, castle and other
items of equipment purchased and donated by the Parent
Teacher Association.

7. ORGANISATION OF THE SCHOOL

The children are grouped into three classes. There are five
teachers, including the Head Teacher. We are fortunate to have 5
teaching and learning assistants as well.
We offer places to all children at the beginning of the school
year in which they have their fifth birthday. To enable the
children to continue in the same christian tradition all children
in year 2 have automatic right of entry to St. John’s C of E
Primary School, Caterham, at 7 years of age when they leave this
school.
Before the children start school they have a home visit and are
invited to come into school for visits during the Summer Term.
New parents are invited to attend the school functions and
events arranged during the Summer Term, which enables them
to meet the staff and some of the children.
The school has a Board of Governors, which meets two or
three times a term.These are open meetings which parents are
invited to observe.The Governors are a voluntary body
appointed by the LEA, Southwark Diocese, St Peter & St Paul
Church, Chaldon, the staff and the parents.They have the
responsibility for working in partnership with the Head Teacher
to ensure that the school offers the best education for your
child. The Governors have responsibility for admissions and to
monitor specific areas of the curriculum, staffing, repairs and
maintenance, health and safety and the financial management of
the school. The school profile is available online at
http://schoolsfinder.direct.gov.uk/9363314/school-profile .

8.THE CURRICULUM

Children in Reception follow the Development Matters Curriculum for
the Early Years Foundation Stage.They are regularly assessed
Against the Foundation Stage Profile.The children in Year 1 and 2
follow the Primary Curriculum 2014 and study Literacy, Maths,
Science, Computing, History, Geography, Religious Education,
Music,Art,Technology, Physical Education and Personal Social
Health Education.
It is a broad and balanced curriculum, which promotes the spiritual,
moral, social and cultural development of pupils at the school,
preparing them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences
of adult life in a diverse society.The children are encouraged to feel
part of a Christian community which is exemplified by its attitudes and
values, and this ethos permeates many areas of the curriculum.
Children are also encouraged to gain understanding and respect for
other cultures and religions in the world.The children regularly visit
places of interest to enhance their learning experience.
The assessment process begun in the Reception Year continues as
they move through the school in order to ensure that appropriate
provision is made.The children undertake various assessment tasks as
directed by the government e.g. the phonics screening check. Clearly children
progress at different rates, but the Primary Curriculum sets age-related
expectations for the end of each year group.This assessment process
enables us to identify children for whom it’s appropriate to provide
additional support.
A variety of teaching methods is used to make the curriculum
accessible to all children and to help them to progress at their own
rate, to achieve their best and to enjoy the learning experience.We
have a responsibility to ensure that all children have equal opportunity
to access education.The school follows the statutory Special
Educational Needs Code of Practice 2014, which enables teachers
to identify and provide appropriately for those children.

8.THE CURRICULUM (Cont)

The recent government Sports Funding enables us to provide new
equipment, specialist P.E. teaching, games leaders training for the children
and outdoor learning opportunities. Each year group has
weekly swimming lessons for one term, taken by a qualified
swimming instructor and held at Oakhyrst Grange School. Parents
are asked to make a voluntary contribution to the cost of these
lessons. In addition to using our school grounds for learning, we
go on a whole-school local walk each term.This supports learning
about climate and seasonal changes.
Issues relating to relationships and sex education are dealt with as they
occur during the normal course of school learning.The school follows the
guidance given by the Local Authority, which has due regard to
moral considerations and the value of family life.
We encourage the children to complete some activities at home
which build on and support their learning in school e.g. reading
and word practice, learning spellings and tables, a maths task or research
for a topic.
Extra-curricular activities are also offered to the children in all
classes after school and include football, street dance, gymnastics, Lego,
French club, yoga rugby and tennis.These activities are paid for by the
parents on a termly basis. Other clubs run by staff or parents also take place
including phonics club, recorder/music and choir.

9. SCHOOL UNIFORM

We have a school uniform, which all the children should wear
as it looks smart and it helps the children to feel that they
belong to the “school family”.
The school badge shows a sword and two keys. The two keys
are associated with St. Peter and represent the keys of Heaven.
The upturned sword is associated with St. Paul, who was
beheaded. Purple may have been chosen for the school colour
because of the story of St. Paul’s conversion of Lydia; she sold
purple dyes.
P.E. and games:
navy blue shorts
plain white round neck T-shirt
grey tracksuit bottoms for swimming/outdoor games
trainers for use on the trim trail and for outdoor games will

10. HEALTH AND WELFARE

The school nurse visits the school at regular intervals to check
hearing, vision, height and weight. Years 1 and 2 are offered the
nasal flu vaccination in the Autumn Term.
If children are unwell, parents must contact the school office either by
telephone or email as soon as possible, preferably before 9.15 am, to explain
the reason for absence. The school should be notified immediately
in cases of infectious diseases. In cases of sickness and/or diarrhoea,
children must have been clear of symptoms for 48 hours before returning
to school.
If children have to take tablets or medicines, the medications must be taken
by parents to the school office in the original named container with details
of the medicine and precise written instructions as to the dosage. This
includes medication for asthma in order for us to monitor its use.
Parents are encouraged not to take children away during term-time for any
reason. If parents need to take their child away in term time they should
write to the Head Teacher.The Head Teacher will not sanction absences
for the purpose of family holidays. All children in Year1 and 2 should be in
school during the months of May and June as this is when the national
assessments are always carried out.
Please inform the office in writing in advance if your child has to be taken
out of school for any reason. If the school is not notified or the absence
has not been approved, it has to be classified as an unauthorised absence.
By law these figures have to be officially recorded as “truancy” and the
DFE informed.
Winter arrangements:
Occasionally, in the winter months, the weather in Chaldon can deteriorate
quite rapidly. If it is necessary to close the school, parents will receive
email/text message.

11. CARE AND DISCIPLINE

Through PHSE (Personal Health and Social Education) children are taught
to be aware of the needs of others and to become responsible for their
own behaviour. Codes of practice are discussed and the children are
encouraged to think about how they would feel in similar situations.
Positive behaviour is emphasised and children are encouraged to think
about their relationships with others and to be actively involved in
creating a happy school environment.

12. SCHOOL MEALS

The Government funds free school meals for every child in Reception,Year 1
and Year 2 at state-funded schools in England. Pupils will be entitled to
receive a hot, two course, nutritious meal at lunchtime, with the aim of
enhancing academic attainment and saving families money.
This is not a mandatory option – those children who wish to have a packed
lunch for dietary reasons may do so.
If you are in receipt of any of the following or your child is currently
entitled to free school meals, you need to apply to the school for the
entitlement.
• income-based Jobseekers Allowance
• income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
• Income Support
• Universal Credit
• the guarantee part of Pension Credit
• support for asylum seekers under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
Child Tax Credit, but only if you are not also receiving Working Tax Credit
(WTC) and your income is below a certain amount. However, if you are in
the four week run-on period for WTC after stopping work or reducing
working hours, then you may be eligible for free school meals.
The school receives significant additional funding for any child for whom this
is the case. So we would urge to you continue to apply.
Surrey participates in the Schools Fruit and Vegetable scheme, which
provides children with free, fresh fruit daily.
Children should bring in a named bottle of water with a sports cap.
Milk can be ordered from Coolmilk at www.coolmilk.com.

13. FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION

As the school buildings belong to the Church
and not to Surrey County Council, the
Governors and the Church are responsible for
improvements and repairs made to the building,
and for the insurance. In order to fulfil this
obligation parents are asked to make an annual
contribution for maintenance to the Diocese of
Southwark.

The amount levied on the school is calculated
with reference to the number on the roll and
for the school year 2016/17 parents have
been asked to contribute £62 per pupil. This
can be paid by cheque or by standing order in
one annual payment or in four quarterly
instalments. The Honorary Treasurer of the
Governing Body organises the collection and
will contact parents individually by letter
once a place at the school has been offered
and accepted.

14. PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT

14. PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT

Parents’ help in school:
We are very grateful for all the help and support we receive from parents.
There are many activities that we need help with on both a regular and a
casual basis and if you feel that you would like to become more actively
involved in the daily life of the school we would be delighted to hear from
you! We realise that you cannot all commit yourselves on a regular basis
but hope that you could all offer occasional help.
Communication:
Weekly newsletters will be sent by email and class letters are sent home with
the children.
Each term there are formal sessions when parents are invited to make an
appointment to discuss their children’s work with the class teacher. At
the end of Summer Term parents receive a written report.
Parents who wish to raise any queries of minor concern should speak to
the teachers at the beginning or end of the day. Lengthier discussions
require an appointment. Appointments to see the Head Teacher or
class teacher should be made through the school office. Parents should
never hesitate to telephone the school office if there is any problem.
Any concerns or problems can usually be resolved at school in discussion
with the Head Teacher. Any letters of complaint should be sent, in the
first instance, to the Head Teacher. The Head Teacher will automatically
discuss matters felt to be of a serious nature with the Chair of
Governors. Copies of the school complaints procedure are available in
the school office.
