     AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRANSFORM YOUR CHILD’S FUTURE
BN6AWARD - HURSTPIERPOINT COLLEGE SAYERS COMMON
Dear Parent

In 2002, Hurstpierpoint College set up an Endowment Fund in order to provide
assisted places for academically gifted children who would flourish at the college,
but who could not attend without some major financial support. This is very much
in keeping with the charitable ideas of the college’s founder, Nathaniel Woodard.

As a result, in September 2015 we launched the BN6 Award which is available to
very able boys and girls who will make a tremendous contribution to the life of
the college, both academically but also through extra-curricular activities, such as
Music, Sport or Drama. The college has had close ties with the local community
for more than 150 years and it seems fitting that the beneficiaries of this fund
should be children who live close to the college, in the BN6 postcode.

BN6 award holders, as any other award holder at Hurst, will not be seen as a breed
apart, but as full members of our community who have a distinct role to play.
During their time at the college, they will be well supported with every step taken
to ensure that they make the most of their time here and the best of their own
abilities. In this respect they are like every other pupil, but there is a recognition
they have something particular to offer the rest of the school. Being an award
holder is not only an honour and a privilege, but also a very real responsibility.

I hope the following pages answer all the questions you might have in respect of
this award, but please do get in touch with Christina Treadaway (either by email:
christina.treadaway@hppc.co.uk or by phone: 01273 836927) should you have any
queries or wish to arrange a visit or taster day.

I look forward to welcoming you and your child to Hurst to explore the
opportunities we have to offer.

Yours sincerely

Tim Manly

  Declaration
  We (as the holders of parental responsibility1 for him/her) request that the name of the above-named child be registered as a
  prospective pupil of the College.
  By signing this Registration Form we understand, accept and agree that:
  1.      registration of our child as a prospective pupil does not secure our child a place at the College but does ensure that our child will
          be considered for selection as a pupil at the College;
  2.      if our child is offered a place at the College, such an offer will be subject to the College's terms and conditions for the provision of
          educational services2, which will bind us (as the holders of parental responsibility for him/her) in the event (and from the moment)
          that we accept the place;
  3.      if applicable, the College may request from our child's present school or educational institution: (a) information and a reference in
          respect of our child; and/or (b) information about any outstanding fees and/or supplemental charges;
  4.      the College may process any personal data about us (or either of us) and our child, including sensitive personal data about our
          child (such as medical details), for the purposes of:
          (i)    administering its list of prospective pupils;
          (ii) its registration, selection and/or admission procedures, including as set out above; and
          (iii) communicating with the parents of prospective pupils about the College and generally managing relationships between the
                 College and its prospective pupils.

  Notes:
  1       Parental responsibility is defined in the Children Act 1989 as "all rights, duties, powers and responsibilities and authority which by law a parent of a
          child has in relation to the child and his or her property". It equates to legal responsibility for the child. If you have any doubts about whether you
          do or do not have parental responsibility for the child you may wish to seek legal advice.
  2       A copy of the current terms and conditions (known as the School's parent contract) is available for your information upon request at any time, but
          please note that the version of the parent contract supplied may be subject to change prior to the point in time when a place at the School for your
          child may be offered.
