Brief guide to commonly
used terms in this booklet

Academies are publicly funded schools that provide free education to pupils of all abilities. They are
established by sponsors from business, faith or voluntary groups. They receive funding directly from
the Department for Education. Each academy has its own admissions policy.
Community schools are run by the local council. It employs the school’s staff, and runs the admission
procedure. Their running costs are met from public funds which come through the local council (mainly
council tax and grants from central government). They provide free education. Community schools
in the same borough share an admissions policy.
Department for Education (DfE) is responsible for education and children’s services.
Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) An Education, Health and Care Plan (often referred to as an
EHCP) is for children and young people aged up to 25 who need more support than is available through
normal school based special educational needs support. EHC Plans identify education, health and social
needs a child or young person has and sets out the additional support required to meet these needs.
Education, Learning and Skills a group of services in Lambeth Council that brings together all services
for education under one banner.
Foundation schools have their running costs met from public funds which come through the local council.
They provide free education. Each foundation school has it’s own admissions policy.
Free Schools are all-ability state-funded schools. They are non-selective and free to attend, and not
controlled by a local authority. Each free school has its own admissions policy.
Local Authority (LA) The borough/ local council.
Ofsted The national Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted), is the government department responsible
for inspecting schools and reporting on standards of achievement and the quality of education provided.
Parents/carers refers to all carers and legal guardians.
Special schools cater for children who have an Education, Health and Care Plan and whose special needs
are such that they cannot be met in a mainstream school. All children attending a special school must have
an Education, Health and Care Plan.
Voluntary-aided schools are set up by voluntary bodies, usually churches, but have their running costs
met from public funds which come through the local council. They provide free education. The voluntary-aided
schools in Lambeth have very close links to their church, and are often referred to as church schools. Each
voluntary-aided school has its own admissions policy.

   section. They must also use their (both the parent and the child’s)
   current address. The online secondary school applications are

      ‘keywords’ function. You can apply for up to 6 schools
   3. Please ensure that you select the correct school
      especially when there are schools with similar
      names in the same borough.

      details about any siblings or relevant medical/social
      details if applicable.
   5. If the school being applied to needs you to also
      complete a Supplementary Information Form (SIF),
      this will automatically be flagged up by the system.
      Please ensure that all SIFs are completed and
      returned to the school in time.

   or deleted up until the 31 October 2019 deadline.
