Proposed changes to the admission arrangements for The Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School for the academic year of entry 2017/2018

The Academy Trust of the Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School is consulting on its proposed Admission Policy for entry in September 2017. This consultation is for the attention of parents of children between the ages of two and eighteen, other persons in the area who have an interest in the proposed arrangements, all other admission authorities within the local area, the local authority, any adjoining neighbouring local authorities and the Diocese of Westminster. The consultation will close on Friday 18 December 2015. The following changes are proposed: • Year 12

o To change the tie-break to random allocation as this is objective, supports a pan-London intake and is consistent with the year 7 tie-break.

o To adopt the new Certificate of Catholic Practice, which has the approval of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, to replace the school’s priest’s reference form.

• Year 7 o To adopt the new Certificate of Catholic Practice, which has the approval of the

Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, to replace the school’s priest’s reference form.

o To use a single music aptitude test, rather than the current arrangements which employ two tests.

Please refer to the policies and forms attached. The School Admissions Committee of the Academy Trust would be grateful to receive any written comments by email to [email protected] or by post to The Clerk to Directors of the Academy Trust, Cardinal Vaughan memorial School, 89 Addison Road, London W14 8BZ. With many thanks Jackie Nicholls, Clerk to Directors

If you have worshipped at different churches within the last five years, you MUST complete and return more than one Certificate.

Ability Banding Test

The banding test is not an entry test. There is no ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ and a boy’s score does not determine whether he will be offered a place. The test is used to ensure that the intake to the School represents the ability range of the cohort applying. The test that we use is intended for 10-11 year old boys. It gives an indication of the boy’s current ability to reason using words and numbers.

Boys are ranked on the basis of their score in the test relative to other boys who took the test. Ability bands are set by placing the top 25% of boys in band 1, the middle 50% of boys in band 2 and the bottom 25% of boys in band 3. Places are offered within each band – 25% (30 places) to boys in band 1, 50% (60 places) to boys in band 2 and 25% (30 places) to boys in band 3 - using the priority groups A-E described in Part One. All boys MUST take the banding test. An application to the school cannot be processed without an ability band. The only exceptions are boys with a statement of special educational needs/Education, Health and Care plan and boys in public care or previously in public care. Statemented/EHC placements will be made irrespective of whether or not a boy has taken the banding test. Top priority will be given to Catholic boys in public care or previously in in public care whether or not these boys have taken the banding test.

Music Places

The Academy Trust gives priority to up to 10% of Catholic boys from practising Catholic families who can demonstrate an aptitude in music. A boy with aptitude for music is one who will benefit from music teaching or who demonstrates a particular capacity to learn or develop skills in music and can benefit from the expertise and facilities at the school. If successful, your son will be required to give up a significant part of his free time to learn music and play a full part in the School’s extensive music programme. Do not apply for a music place if your son has no interest in doing this.

Procedure 1. You MUST complete a music form and return it to the school by 5pm on Friday TBA September 2016 (this

is earlier than the closing date for applications to the school). 2. Boys must attend to take an aptitude test using aural tasks at the school onTBA 2016. 3. 4. The school will take all reasonable steps to inform parents of the outcome of tests before the closing date

for applications form.

Random Allocation of Offers

The Academy Trust will use random allocation as the means of deciding between applicants who have an equal entitlement to place on the basis of the oversubscription criteria A – E. Offers will be made by random number in ascending order. The process will be administered electronically by the local authority, which is independent from the School.


Reserve List and Allocation List (Waiting List)

Unsuccessful candidates will be placed on a Reserve List ordered on the basis of the oversubscription criteria set out in this policy. The Reserve List will be maintained until 31 August 2016. Vacancies arising before this date will be offered to candidates on the Reserve List.

You can also ask for your son’s name to be placed on the Allocation List, which will be maintained from 1 September 2016. Ability bands will not apply. Boys’ names will be placed in oversubscription groups using the priority order set out in part one of the admission policy.

A fresh round of random allocation will take place when deciding which child is to be offered a place from the Reserve List or Allocation List so that those who apply for a place at the School after an earlier round of random allocation are not disadvantaged.

The Allocation List will continue into years 8-11.

At the end of each academic year, we will ask you if you want your son’s name to stay on the Allocation List. The list for each year group will be re-generated and re-ordered so that it reflects the admission policy in effect at the time (and not that which applied when the application was made).

Admission Appeals

You have the right to appeal against the Academy Trust’s decision not to offer your son a place. An independent admissions appeals panel will be established to hear appeals in accordance with the provisions of the ‘School Admissions Appeals Code’. Appeals are normally heard in May and the decisions of the appeal panel are posted within two weeks.

In-Year Applications for Admission

If you are applying for a place at the school outside the normal admissions round, you MUST complete a

School application form. Your application will be placed in one of the oversubscription groups set out in part

1 of this policy (above) except that ability bands will not apply. If you are not offered a place at the school,

your son’s name will be added to the allocation list. When vacancies occur, places will be offered in the order

of priority set out in part 1 by random number in ascending order.

In-Year Fair Access Protocol

Outside the normal admission round, the Academy Trust is empowered to give priority to a child where admission is requested under any local protocol which carries the agreement of both the Academy Trust and the Diocese of Westminster.
