Admissions Procedure


Admissions Criteria for admissions 2011-12

The Governing Body of Manor College of Technology is responsible for all admissions to the College. The admission number for the College for September 2011 is 230. The criteria proposed follow the general guidelines of Hartlepool Admission Authority and takes in to account the statutory duties and recommendations contained within the School Admissions Code. Whilst Manor College of Technology is now its own Admission Authority it recognises that all admissions must comply with the published co-ordinated arrangements.

In the first instance, places will be awarded to those pupils with a statement of special educational needs where Manor College is named in the statement.

In the event of the College being oversubscribed in 2011-12, the remaining places will be in accordance with the following priority criterion which has been agreed by the Governing Body.

Priority 1

Looked after children who are in the care of the local authority or provided with accommodation by the local authority.
Priority 2

Those children who have older brothers or/and sisters who will be attending the College in September 2011.
Priority 3   

Those children who attend Fens, Grange, Greatham, Golden Flatts, Rossmere, Owton Manor and Kingsley – Manor’s identified Partner Primary Schools. Places will be allocated in the following order of priority;

a) those children who attend a partner primary school and live within the admission zone of that primary school.

b) those children who attend a partner primary school but live outside the admission zone of that primary school.

c) those children who do not attend a partner primary school but live within the admission zone of a partner primary school.

 
Priority 4 

Those children who are distinguished from the great majority of other applicants whether on medical grounds or by other exceptional circumstances and who would suffer significant hardship if they were unable to attend the College.
Priority 5

Those children who live closest to the College as determined by the shortest suitable walking distance.

Should it prove necessary to distinguish between children within category 2 priority will be given to those who older siblings attending the College in September 2011, followed by those who live nearest to the College. Should it prove necessary to distinguish between children in any other category (or between children with older siblings in the above situation) then priority will be given to those who live nearest the College.

Children who have a Statement of Special Educational Need which names our College will be admitted to the College. If your child has Special Educational Needs but does not have a “statement” of need naming the College, then your application will be considered on the basis of the College’s admission criterion.

If you are not offered a place at Manor College of Technology you may appeal. Parents should write to the Governing Body, by the deadline given in their allocation letter, stating their wish to appeal. Full information on the appeals procedure is available from Manor College of Technology.
