Home About Us Key Information Curriculum Sixth Form Parents Students News & Dates Contact Home About Us Admissions Share This Page Admissions The foundations of The Urswick School have been part of Hackney’s community for over 500 years. We welcome applications from ALL faiths and families with no faith. We are a Christian School not just a school for Christians. We welcome applications from children from all other world faiths for our open or community places and give priority to those who are able to demonstrate a commitment to their individual faith. The Urswick School has an agreed admission number of 180 students for the academic year 2021/22, subject to the completion of building works. Students will not be admitted outside of their chronological Year group. If the building works are not completed at this time, the PAN will be 150. Parents are advised to check the school’s website for updates. www.theurswickschool.co.uk/119/admissions-criteria All children applying for a place at The Urswick School will be required to take the Cognitive Ability Tests (CAT) arranged by Hackney Education. Children will be placed in one of four bands based on their CAT score. The boundaries of each band reflect the national range of abilities and are as follows: Band CAT Score Band A Above 110 Band B 101 – 110 Band C 90 - 100 Band D Below 90 Where possible, the same number of children will be admitted into each of the four bands to ensure a balanced intake that reflects the full ability range. Children with an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) and looked after children who do not take the tests will be allocated an appropriate band on the basis of an alternative assessment (for example, KS2 Teacher Assessments in English and Maths). Having received a band allocation on the basis of their CAT score, children will be awarded places within each band using the oversubscription criteria. Where any other applicant has not been able to take the CAT test, the governors will request a KS2 Teacher Assessment in England and Maths from the primary school.
