108/2003 The Cabinet recommended to Council,
with regard to Secondary Admissions, that:
(i) it determines its secondary admission arrangements as set out
in Appendix 1 of the report.
(ii) the LEA includes in its consultation with schools and other
admission authorities for September 2005 that in the event of
oversubscription at the Hundred of Hoo School the following
apply:· Children in public care for whom the school is the
nearest appropriate;· Current family association (i.e. an
elder brother or sister in the school at the time of
application);· Child's health reasons. Medical evidence must
be provided which demonstrates a specific health reason which
requires a child to attend the preferred school;
· Residence within a particular scheme of education (see
maps in the secondary admission booklet). Under this criterion
places on the Hoo Peninsula would be allocated measuring distance
from East to West with those living furthest away from the school
being offered places first;· Nearness of children's homes
and ease of access to schools. (The 'nearness of children's homes'
part of this criterion operates for this school).
(iii) the minimum entry requirements for year 12 applications at
Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School be as follows:'Level
3-a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade C with at least a B in proposed AS
(or related) subject. Other specific course requirements also
apply'.

Schools, that:(i) it determines its primary admission arrangements

'ease of access' part of the last criterion for Halling Primary
School before 'nearness of homes'.(ii) a review of the admissions
policy be undertaken in the summer term 2003 with all key
stakeholders.
