Dear Parents/Colleagues
Thank you for your response to the previous consultations on the merger of Abington and Bushloe to
become an 11-16 school and Guthlaxton to become a post 16 college. All governing bodies of the
three schools have agreed to this proposal. To move to the next stage and gain Government
approval please find attached two further required consultations. We would be very grateful if you
could complete these consultations as your views are very important to the schools and the
Government. Thank you in advance for your co-operation.
Please find attached two consultation documents. The first consultation is for the proposed age
range change reorganisation of secondary schools on the Wigston campus. The second consultation
concerns admissions proposals for the age range changes. Please note that any change is subject to
approval of the Education Funding Agency.
Please be aware that both consultations begin on 3rd November 2014 and will finish on 9th January
2015. Your views on age range changes and the admission proposals are very important and we
would very much appreciate your response to these consultations.
You can view and respond to these proposals by accessing our school website at
www.abingtonacademy.org, www.bushloe.leics.sch.uk, www.guth.org.uk or via email to
[email protected]. Alternatively, you can also respond by returning the attached
forms to any of the three schools.
Yours sincerely

Introduction to the Consultation
PROPOSED REORGANISATION OF WIGSTON SECONDARY SCHOOLS
Thank you for taking the time to read this consultation about our proposals. For over three years we have had exploratory
meetings with Government agencies, the local authority (LA), local headteachers and across schools to consider the
implications of a change for our area. We have arrived at the stage where we believe that if Abington and Bushloe
schools merge to an 11-16 school and Guthlaxton becomes a post 16 centre it will have a positive impact on the
aspirations, educational provision and outcomes of the pupils within our community. We are confident in our ability and
capacity to build on our schools’ current successes and excellent track record of implementing change to improve
outcomes for children.
At Abington, Bushloe and Guthlaxton we believe that our children as learners come first. Like you, we want our children
and young people to enjoy their time at school, make excellent progress and achieve high standards.
Currently, our pupils change schools at ages 10 and 14. Whilst this has worked very well for many years, recent national
changes to the curriculum and qualifications has meant we have begun to think of a better way to organise schooling on
the campus site more in line with a nationally recognised and successful model for education. The new qualifications
regime proposed from 2015 means that all schools nationally will need to provide different pathways for children with
different skills. Continuity of provision for children will become more important and whilst the three schools work together
very well at the point of transfer, for some children this can prove difficult. Some children find the transfer of school easy
at these crucial stages, others find it more difficult. These changes to the national curriculum and qualifications will
inevitably lead to a change in the way schools are organised in the future.
For these reasons the Governors and staff have explored many options to further improve schooling for all children on
campus. To this end, Governors have agreed to consult with all stakeholders once again on removing possible barriers to
learning between the three schools. Our aim is to work in an ever closer partnership to provide a seamless educational
progression at the schools for the benefit of the children.
Proposal:
To change the age range of pupils to be enrolled at a newly merged school (Wigston Academy) from 10-14 years
to 11-16 years from the beginning of the academic year August 2016 (nb. until such time that local primary
schools are able to accommodate Year 6 pupils then the newly merged secondary school will be a 10-16
secondary school). Guthlaxton College (14-19 years) will become a newly formed 16-19 college (Wigston Sixth
Form College).
We are working together to ensure that any changes are coordinated and have a positive impact for all pupils. We all
share the desire to offer the best choice, the highest quality of educational pathways and provision for all learners into a
post 16 curriculum.
The Governing bodies of the three schools would like to hear your views before any action is taken. This consultation
outlines the proposals for change, the benefits, opportunities and challenges that may lie ahead.
Please take the time to read this information and complete the response form enclosed. This can also be completed
online.
Your views are important to us and the Governors will not make a
decision until they have heard your views.
About the Schools
Abington Academy, Bushloe High School and Guthlaxton Academy are schools for pupils aged 10 to 14 and 14 to 18,
providing education at the end of KS2 (Year 6), throughout KS3 (Years 7 to 9) and Key Stages 4 and 5 (Years 10 to 13).
The schools currently have a yearly pupil admission number of 171 (Abington), 168/175 (Bushloe) and 496 (Guthlaxton)
with overall composition of 684 (Abington), 693 (Bushloe) and 1454 (Guthlaxton).
Who are we consulting with?
We would like to hear the views of the following groups:
 Parents of current pupils.
 Representatives of the Local Authority (Leicestershire).
 Staff who work at the campus schools.
 Parents of potential pupils who live in our catchment area.
 Parents of potential pupils who live outside of our catchment area.
 Pupils who are currently at the school (via the student councils).
 Other local schools that may be affected by our proposals.
 The local community.
 Neighbouring Local Authorities.
Timing of the Consultation Process:
The consultation will begin on Monday 3rd November 2014 and run until Friday 9th January 2015.
The Proposal
The proposal put forward by Governors of the three schools is for Abington and Bushloe to become a merged 11-16
school starting in September 2016. The school will offer a yearly admission limit of 300. The proposed merged school
would be the combined retained existing catchment areas of Abington and Bushloe schools and the current feeder
primary schools links will remain unchanged. Guthlaxton would become a post 16, 6th form college. The one merged 1116 school would form a Multi Academy Trust with Sixth Form College.
When would the changes happen?
If, after the consultation and dependent on what you have told us, the governors agree to proceed with the change, the
next step would be to formally seek approval from the Department for Education. To do this we would need to submit
detailed plans to demonstrate that this is a strong case for change and most importantly, will lead to improved outcomes
for our pupils.
Additionally, it is important to understand that the proposed changes (age range change for primary and academy schools
merger, change at point of entry to Guthlaxton and creation of a Multi Academy Trust) are subject to Local Authority
agreement. Local Authority agreement is also being sought for any temporary 10-16 merged provision.
If the changes are approved by the Government and they agree to change the schools’ Funding Agreements, the
proposals would commence September 2016.
What are the benefits and reason for change?
The proposal offers the opportunity for significant benefits. These include:





Establish schools of excellence underpinned by the greatest strengths of each of the three schools to maximise
opportunity and provision for pupils and staff.
Schools positioned at the heart of the community with increased capacity to respond to local needs.
Provide a single 11-16 school with a shared, strong ethos based on well-established strengths of the schools,
reflecting the values of the local community.
Improving educational outcomes
As an 11-16 school and a post 16 centre, our aim would be to raise even further our pupils’ overall educational
outcomes taking account of how they progress over five years. We will raise these standards at both KS3 and
KS4 by removing the current barriers at the Key Stage 3/4 transition.
Continuity of education and care
With an 11-16 school, there will be continuity of education from Key Stage 3 (ages 11-14) to Key Stage 4 (ages
14-16) meaning that pupils will be well established in the school, working alongside staff who will teach them their
GCSEs or equivalent courses. This will consequently avoid the educational ‘dip’ which occurs whenever a child
changes school and should, therefore, lead to improved results for our pupils at 16. More importantly, it means
our staff can plan a broad and coherent curriculum and design their Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 schemes of
work as a whole which will lead to better learning experiences for pupils. It will also provide greater stability,
continuity of support, care and guidance in these crucial years of pupils’ education.

Longer preparation for GCSEs
In order to stretch more fully all our pupils, we have been keen for them to start their GCSE preparation in some
subjects in Year 9. Understandably, it has proved difficult to roll this out across all subject areas because of
practical issues of progression and continuity with our local upper school. Given the announcement from Ofqual
concerning a major overhaul to GCSEs (ofqual.gov.uk), it is now more pressing to ensure schools prepare pupils
earlier for the demands of GCSEs. For the current Year 8s and below, the content of GCSEs will now become
more challenging; coursework will be phased out in nearly all subjects; pupils will have exams at the end of their
Year 11 and a new grading scale of 1-9 will be introduced. English and Maths will be the first subjects to start the
new GCSE syllabuses in September 2015 for examination in 2017. Other subjects will be introduced from the
following year. If we merge the two High Schools to become an 11-16 school, we anticipate that our current Year
8s would start their GCSE preparation before the end of Year 9, thus giving them an advantage and more time to
complete their GCSEs.

High quality teaching
There is an excellent team of teaching and support staff at the schools. All our teachers are qualified to teach
Year 10 and 11 pupils and many have experience of doing so. The recent changes in GCSE qualifications will
mean that all schools who teach GCSEs need to receive training in the new specifications. In readiness for this
change, all teachers, for some time now, have been focussing on the KS3-4 curriculum assessments and
preparation for future changes. If we merge and convert to an 11-16 school, staff preparation would receive an
even higher priority in the lead up year (August 2015-August 2016).

Better preparation for the next stage of education or training
The final obvious benefit is the opportunity for young people to remain in a school with a strong, well–established
distinctive local ethos, which supports and nurtures them throughout their teenage years, and prepares them well
for the next step in their education, training and employment. From September 2015 onwards, all young people in
the country will have to remain in full-time education or training until at least their 18th birthday by either staying on
at school, attending a college of further education or by registering on an employment-based training scheme
such as an apprenticeship.
As a newly formed post 16 centre, Guthlaxton is very well placed to offer the very best post 16 provision on
campus for our children.







Improved choice and access to different educational pathways offering increased choice for pupils and parents in
the locality.
For children, improved stability and progression.
A closer match in terms of continuity and stability for children to the requirements of examination courses in order
to improve outcomes.
Greater capacity for personalised support for each pupil ensuring all achieves their potential.
Provide ‘economies of scale’ financially to target resources more readily on the needs of pupils.
Improved standards and pupil outcomes across all the key stages of learning by removing transition at the end of
Year 9 that can have a detrimental impact on the progress of some young people.
Offer improved working with pupils, parents and families through greater stability and continuity of relationships.
What would happen to the catchment area for Abington, Bushloe and Guthlaxton?
The catchment area for the schools will not change. The schools would accommodate all existing applications from both
within our catchment area and outside of it.
Whilst it is difficult to determine demand for places in September 2016, we believe that by providing the choice of an
excellent, local secondary school and post 16 centre, sufficient places will be available for pupils at this first choice school.
In relation to primary transfer all children wishing to gain a place at the merged Abington and Bushloe school would be
accommodated. It is important to understand that until such time that primary schools in the locality can accommodate the
Year 6 children that these children will still be able to transfer to the secondary campus as they do now at the age of 10. It
is expected that the primary schools in Wigston will retain the Year 6 children at their schools in September 2016.
What would this mean for my child up to the age of 16?
All new intake pupils would be inducted into the newly merged school maintaining the traditional links with feeder primary
schools.
Current Year 9 pupils.
If the proposals proceed after this consultation and your child is currently in Year 9, there will be no change to the current
arrangements where pupils transfer from Abington and Bushloe at 14 to Guthlaxton College.
Current Years 8 pupils.
The current Year 8 will automatically transfer into Year 10 at this newly merged Abington/Bushloe school in August 2016,
should they wish to, without having to go through an application process as they are already on roll at the schools. They
will, therefore, enter their Year 11 with us in August 2017 and will take their GCSEs (or equivalent) in the summer of 2018.
Equally, they can apply to go to a local upper school for their two year KS4 studies (14-16).
Current Year 5, 6 and 7 pupils.
The current Year 6 and 7s who are on roll will automatically be given a place in our year 10/11 without having to reapply
as they will already be on our roll. The current Year 5 children applying for a place at Abington or Bushloe for August
2015 will, similarly, be automatically given a place in our Year 10/11 without having to reapply.
Pupils currently in Year 4 or below.
Any current Year 4s applying for a place will do so under the new admissions policy. This means the current Year 4s will
be the first cohort to be able to apply to be part of the new Year 6 in August 2016 at the 10-16 school under the new
admissions arrangements. From this cohort onwards, we would expect all pupils to remain with us for five years.
It is important to note that the above admissions arrangements are dependent on no change in local primary provision. If
local primary schools decide to change their admissions policies to accommodate Year 6 in future then our proposed
admissions policy would reflect their decision.
The feeder schools for Abington and Bushloe remain as (All Saints, Glenmere, Little Hill , Meadow, Thythorn, and Water
Leys).
What will happen at the age of 16?
The usual post-16 educational pathway for pupils within the locality area is Guthlaxton College. The college has an
excellent success rate at getting students into their first choice University (including Oxford and Cambridge) and students
make excellent progress post 16. Smooth and effective transition arrangements for our pupils when moving into their
sixth form will remain as now with provision in the future being extended to provide excellent post-16 courses and
alternative provision.
How would school admissions be managed?
Currently our admissions arrangements are managed by the Local Authority (Leicestershire). Places will be allocated
based on the circumstances of the child, taking into account various factors, such as catchment area, whether their
siblings are also at the school and Special Educational Needs.
The proposal is to continue to work closely with the Local Authority and use these same priorities, criteria and
arrangements when allocating places as we do now.
Priority Criteria
In keeping with the Department for Education’s School Admissions Code (February 2012), school-admissions-code-2012
in the normal admissions round, parents/carers will apply for places at their preferred secondary school(s) by 31 October
of their child’s final year at primary school. If the school is oversubscribed (ie there are more applications than places) the
applications will be ranked against the oversubscription criteria. The highest priority/ranking must be given to children
who are, or have been, in the care of the local authority when the application is made. Also, all children whose statement
of special educational needs (SEN) names the school must be admitted. Under our proposals, all pupils from the current
catchment will have a secondary place. Given that, our proposed over subscription criteria is reasonable, clear, objective
and fair, and complies with all relevant legislation.
Staffing and Curriculum
All three schools currently have excellent teaching and associate staff. It is essential to retain and share their knowledge
and expertise for these changes to be a success. We envisage joint continuous professional, collaborative development
and skill sharing for staff to maintain and improve the learning experience for children as well as widen opportunity for
staff.
Abington and Bushloe schools currently offer a broad and balanced curriculum at the end of Key Stage 2 (Year 6) and
throughout Key Stage 3 (Year 7 to 9) catering for the needs of all pupils, regardless of ability or background.
Children would be able to follow the pathway which suits their needs at GCSE and beyond given our staff expertise and
excellent facilities.
Funding
These proposals may require some specific additional funding which we will request from the Government, but we do not
foresee any reduction in current funding.

made to the Department of Education requesting the change. We will continue to keep you informed throughout this
process as it progresses.
SUMMARY
Proposal:
To change the age range of pupils to be enrolled at a newly merged school (Wigston Academy) from 10-14 years
to 11-16 years from the beginning of the academic year August 2016 (nb. until such time that local primary
schools are able to accommodate Year 6 pupils then the newly merged secondary school will be a 10-16
secondary school). Guthlaxton College (14-19 years) now referred to in this document as a Post-16 centre, will
become a newly formed 16-19 college (Wigston Sixth Form College).
We hope the information in this letter and the consultation document will encourage you to respond to our consultation by
the closing date of Friday 9th January 2015. The governors of the three schools will meet to consider the responses from
the consultation and will then make their decision about whether they want to go ahead with presenting a business case
to the Education Funding Agency (EFA) for conversion to 11-16 and 16-19 schools in August 2016.
ADMISSIONS CONSULTATION FOR ABINGTON AND BUSHLOE (SECONDARY) ACADEMIES
The proposed merged 11-16 Academy (Abington and Bushloe) is seeking your views on the changes outlined below. Our consultation
will run for 8 weeks from Friday 3rd November 2014 to Friday 9th January 2015. The admissions arrangements must be determined by
15th April and published on our website by 1st May 2015.
This policy will operate from September 2016. It will apply to all admissions for the school year 2016-2017 and for subsequent years
until further notice.
Admissions Arrangements:
Proposal 1:
Admission Number from September 2016 in Year 7 will be capped at 300 pupils whilst all remaining year groups work their way through
but will also be capped at 300 for all in catchment movement (and where applicable Year 6 transfers will also be capped at 300).
Proposal 2:
The newly merged 11-16 school (Abington and Bushloe) will adopt in full, the Local Authority’s (LA’s) combined catchment areas for
Abington and Bushloe, please see attached existing maps and propose new catchment map.
Proposal 3:
The following primary schools will all have feeder status to the proposed new merged 11-16 Academy: All Saints C of E, Glenmere,
Little Hill, Meadow, Thythorn and Water Leys.
Proposal 4:
The new merged 11-16 school will be adopting the LA’s admissions policy and over subscription criteria (see below). To view
admissions policy please see below:
http://www.leics.gov.uk/index/education/going_to_school/school_admissions_and_pupil_services/admissions/admissions_useful_inform
ation/admissions_policy_april2013.htm
Priority criteria for entry autumn 2016 admissions and mid-term applications during 2016/2017 academic year
If there are too many requests for Wigston Academy, priority will be given to children in the appropriate age-range, whose parents
applied on time, in the following order (see note I below):
1st
Children who are in public care and those children who were previously looked after children. (See note ii).
2nd
Pupils who live in the catchment area. (See note iii).
3rd
Pupils who will have an older brother or sister attending the same school at the same time. (See notes iv and v).
4th
Pupils who have a serious medical condition or exceptional social or domestic needs that make it essential they
attend the school requested. (Professional documentation confirming the situation must be submitted with the
application). (See note vi).
5th
Pupils who will have attended a feeder school for at least two years before the time of transfer. (See note vii).
6th
Pupils starting at an infant school with a sibling attending at the same time in the linked Junior school. (See note iv)
or Pupils transferring to high school who will have an older brother or sister attending the linked upper school at
the same time. (See note iv).
7th
Pupils basing their application on religious belief. (See note viii).
8th
Pupils living nearest to the school measured in a straight line distance (home to school front gate). (See note ix).
Notes:
i. Combinations of the above criteria are used in priority order. Where the computerised system throws up an equality of distance for
more than one child (who do not have the same home address) the final tie breaker will be by drawing lots.
ii. A ‘looked after child’ is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority
in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989) at the time of making an
application to a school. Previously looked after children are children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were
adopted (or became subject to a residence order19 or special guardianship order).
iii. The child’s place of residence is taken to be the parental home. In addition where a catchment area has more than one school:
– No one school will be overfilled while another school with the same catchment has places; and,
– If more applications than the number of places are received from within the catchment the oversubscription criteria will be applied for
each school in accordance with the admissions policy. (Braunstone schools only)
iv. The term “brother or sister” includes half brother or sister or legally adopted child being regarded as the brother or sister.
v. Regarding brothers or sisters who will be of sixth form age, these are counted as brother/sister connections for criteria 3 or 6 above.
vi. If criterion 4 is used, professional supporting documentation from the Lead Professional must be supplied and must be submitted
with the application. The following list are the areas that are considered exceptional:
– Crown Servants (serving members of the armed forces).
– Children subject to Child Protection Plans.
– Hard to Place children – who fall under the Fair Access Protocol.
– Parents suffering domestic violence (This is dependent on documentary evidence by a lead professional).
– A child for whom transfer to the catchment area school would involve attending a different school until he/she is the right age for
transfer. (This is dependent on the child having attended the present school for at least a year).
Each case will be assessed on its individual merits.
vii. For criterion 5 above, the child must have been enrolled at the feeder school on or before the start date of the Autumn Term two
years before transfer.
viii. For Criterion 7 above, a letter of support from your Minister or Religious Leader will be required explaining how the school caters
for your faith. For schools listed below a Minister’s letter is required to support the parent’s application that verifies children from church
going families who have attended a Christian place of worship at least once a month for a year prior to application;
This criteria only applies to the following CE VC schools.
ix. For Criteria 8 above, measurement of distance is in a straight line from the centre point of the property to the school’s main
designated front gate, using a computerised mapping system (Geocoding). Where there is equal distance then lots will be drawn
supervised by an independent officer.
Normal FTA / Transfer Applications
Wigston Academy as required will participate fully with the LA’s Co-ordinating Transfer Scheme. This means parents must apply
through the LA online system or using the LA’s common application form. The application form must be completed and submitted or
returned by the national closing date (31st October).
Late Applications
Any applications received after the closing date and will be accepted but considered only after those received by the closing date. You
are therefore encouraged to ensure that your application is submitted on time. All supplementary information i.e. medical consultant
letters to proof of change of address, remains the parent’s responsibility to supply.
Oversubscription Criteria
If the newly merged 11-16 Academy has more applications than places available, Governors will draw up a ranked list based on the
criteria listed above and inform the local authority accordingly. Children who have a Statement of Special Educational Needs that name
Wigston Academy will be admitted even if the school is full.
Oversubscription (OSL ‘Waiting’) List
Parents whose children have been refused a place at the Wigston Academy will automatically be added to the ‘Leicestershire’
Academy’s OSL (waiting) list. The OSL for admission will remain open until the end of the Autumn Term in the admission year.
The OSL is ranked using the oversubscription criteria listed above. The OSL may change, this means that a child’s OSL position during
the year could go ‘up’ or ‘down’. The OSL makes no distinction between on time or late applications.
Appeals
If your child has been refused a place at the Wigston Academy, you retain the statutory right to appeal. ‘Leicestershire’ Academy has
engaged the services of the LA to conduct all our appeals. Therefore, you can appeal using the LA’s ‘Notice of Appeal’ available
through a link. The LA will arrange the appeal on behalf of the governors to be heard by an independent panel, whose decision is
binding on all parties.
Applications during the School Year
Leicestershire Academy has engaged the services of the LA to co-ordinate mid-term applications. This is because the LA’s online
systems operate 24/7, and throughout school holidays, online application link:
http://www.leics.gov.uk/index/education/going_to_school/school_admissions_and_pupil_services/admissions/online_application.htm .
If Wigston Academy has a space, the LA will offer the place, if there are more applications than places the Governors will rank the
applications and inform the LA, who in turn inform parents of outcomes.
Fraudulent Information
If the allocation of a place has been made on the basis of fraudulent or intentionally misleading information, the governors reserve the
right to withdraw the place.
Fair Access Protocol
Wigston Academy will participate in full with the LA’s Fair Access Protocol in order to make sure that the most vulnerable children are
offered a place at a suitable school as quickly as possible. This includes admitting children above the published admission number of a
school that is already full.
Objections
Objections to any aspect of the determined admissions arrangements may be made to the Office of the Schools Adjudicator
(www.education.gov.uk/schoolsadjudicator), but must be made before 30th June.
