Welcome to Kingstone High School
Review of admissions over subscription criteria for Kingstone Academy Trust for the 2023-24 Academic Year.
Consulted upon Autumn 2021, determined February 2022 for applications in Autumn 2022.
This consultation will take place from Friday 19th November for six weeks, ending on Saturday 30th December 2021.
Kingstone academy Trust is currently undergoing a review of and consultation into changes to the oversubscription criteria in our Admission Policy. It has been emailed to all parents, carers and other local stakeholders. It is in the Letters and Information Home section, and in Statutory Information.
GCSE examinations are scheduled to ahead in June 2022. However, there will be some adaptations to the exams. Despite this, it has been recommended that schools also run with a ‘Plan B’ in the event of a worst case scenario where exams are cancelled again. In line with Government guidance, we will be setting specific tasks and assessment opportunities from the start of this half-term which will feed into a possible Teacher Assessed Grade (TAG) in the event of such changes. Students will be informed which assessments and tasks will contribute to this so that they can fully prepare. This should not entail any additional workload for students as these tasks and assessments would have been part of their planned curriculum.
COVID Protocols
The following protocols remain in place:
- Masks to be worn in any mixed space, including corridors and the dining room (and on buses), unless exempt. Anyone who wishes to wear them in class is free to do so.
- Hand sanitising to continue.
- Timed entry into the dining room at lunchtime.
- Students shall attend in their PE kit on the day they are timetabled to have core PE.
- Test kits will continue to be provided (please note that anyone who has had COVID should not test for 90 days after recovery)
In the meantime, we ask that any students who develop symptoms to get a PCR test as soon as possible.
