Admission
Numbers
The admission number for Denbigh School in September
2008 is 200.
This is the number of children who will be admitted to the School in Year
7 in 2008.
This number reflects the amount of accommodation available at the
School and also takes into consideration the available places at other local
schools.
In exceptional circumstances, it is possible, by agreement with the Governors
and Milton Keynes Council, for a school to exceed its admission number.
Admission
Policy:
You have a right to say which school you
prefer, but you do not have the right to choose a school place.
For example, Denbigh School has an admission number of 200. If 500 parents
apply for a place as the preferred choice for their child, it is clearly necessary
to apply the oversubscription criteria for entry shown below.
When the School is oversubscribed, the places are allocated based on the ‘oversubscription
criteria’.
Mid-Year
Admissions Policy for Denbigh School, Years 7-11 from 2008:
This policy relates to all admissions to Denbigh School in Years 7-11, except
for the initial September entry into Year 7 which is managed as part of the Coordinated
Admissions Programme for the Local Authority, and which is explained in the document “Admission
Arrangements for Year 7 (11+) entry into Denbigh School in September 2008”.
Parents should be aware that this is an oversubscribed School with more applicants
than places available and that every year many parents are unsuccessful in their
application for a place.
Denbigh School will consider applications for admissions in Years 7 to 11
throughout the year, with any available places allocated strictly in accordance
with this admissions policy.
For children who wish to attend Denbigh after the September in which they
enter Year 7, a School Transfer Request and prospectus is available from the
School’s Admissions Office.
Parents/carers should complete the form
and return it to the Headteacher at the School address. Verbal or telephone applications
will not be considered.
During term time, the School aims to respond to applications within seven
working days.
Applications made during the school holidays will generally
be processed when school resumes.
Unsuccessful applicants will be offered the
opportunity to have their application reviewed by an Independent Appeal Panel
and will also be offered the opportunity of placing their child’s name
on the school’s waiting list, details of which are given below
