Key Information Memorandum & Common Application Form (Page 3 of 3) in pdf

To be eligible for consideration of a grammar school place you must have sat the relevant selective test with

the school in question.

A school may need to clarify if the pupil requires additional support to ensure the school can meet the needs

of the child. The school reserves the right to contact the child’s previous school.

Please ensure the details are correct and it is your child’s permanent home address; NOT the address of a

business, a relative, a friend, a childminder, a temporary address or an address to which you hope to move.

Please read the Council’s official guidance booklet, the schools admissions criteria and the Education

transport leaflet, before completing this form – all available on the Council’s our website. If you have any

general queries, which are not answered in the published literature, please contact the In-Year Admissions

Team for further advice and guidance

5. If a school holds a waiting list, positions can go up as well as down based on the oversubscription

criteria of the school and the circumstances of children. School vacancies change on a daily

basis.

6. You are advised not to remove your child from their current school until you have a confirmed

place at another school.

7. If your preferred school is located in a local authority outside Gloucestershire, you must apply

directly to the Admissions Authority of your preferred school/academy.

8. Transport will only be provided to children who are attending their nearest school, in line with

Gloucestershire County Council’s policy. If your nearest school is full, Gloucestershire County

Council will require a copy of their letter to you advising that they are unable to admit your child,

and a copy of this letter must be submitted with your transport request.
