Paragraph 8 Admissions: determining applications for admission
Where an application for admission has been made in accordance with the arrangements for admission of pupils to the School, the Governing Body shall admit the child concerned unless —
his admission would be incompatible with the arrangements for the admission of pupils to the School, including in particular
any arrangements for preserving the particular religious character of the School made in accordance with Article 7(3)(d); and
any arrangements for selecting pupils by reference to ability or aptitude made in accordance with Article 7(3)(e);
his admission would prejudice the provision of efficient education or the efficient use of resources at the School; or
a local education authority maintain a statement of special educational needs for him under section 168 of the 1993 Act, and that statement names another school.
For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b) above, no such prejudice shall be taken to arise from the admission of a child to the School if, were he admitted to the School, the number of pupils within the relevant age group to which he would be admitted in the school year in which he would be admitted would not exceed the number of pupils intended to be admitted to the School in that age group in that year.
The Governing Body shall establish a committee constituted in accordance with the provisions of the instrument of government for the purpose of determining applications for admission to the School (“the Admissions Committee”).
Where a child has been refused admission to the School, the Governing Body shall secure that the parent of the child is informed of —
his right to appeal against that decision; and
the arrangements made by the Governing Body, pursuant to Article 12, for enabling appeals to be made against decisions refusing admission to the School.
