‘Out of Age Range’ Admission
1] Under Age Admission in Exceptional Cases for the new Year 7
Children:
- who attend a partner school,
- whose attainment is well above the national expectation,
- who are exceptionally mature, and
- who would benefit from working with students who are one year older
may move to Denbigh School as part of the 11+ transfer process before he or
she is 11 years of age.
However, before this is considered, the child’s
current Headteacher will be asked for an assessment of the child’s overall
ability to benefit from under age admission.
The number of under age admissions
must fall within the 200 places offered each year and parental request for places
will be judged against the same oversubscription allocation criteria.
2] Out
of Age Range Admission – Years 8 to 11
Children who wish to be considered for admission into a year group that is
out of the age range for that student (either higher or lower) will be considered
by the Governors on an individual basis according to the current numbers in the
year group and individual needs.
To assist Governors in this decision,
you must ask the child’s current Headteacher for an assessment of the child’s
overall ability to benefit from ‘out of age range’ admission and
submit this to us to support your case.
Parental
Right to an Independent Appeal
Where parents are not offered their preferred place for their child, they

Details of
how to appeal against an admissions decision will be provided by the Local Authority
in writing if your application has been unsuccessful.
