Forms Required By Yavneh College
COMMON APPLICATION FORM
All applicants must complete the Common Application Form (CAF) for the Local Authority in which they live i.e. if you live in Barnet, Harrow, etc you complete the CAF for that Local Authority, even though Yavneh College is a Hertfordshire school.
The CAF asks you to rank the schools of your choice in preference order. We strongly advise that if you wish to send your child to Yavneh College, you should rank Yavneh College as your first choice on the CAF. None of the schools you apply to will know the order in which you rank them.
CERTIFICATE OF RELIGIOUS PRACTICE
The admissions process for entry to Year 7 in September 2024 requires all applicants seeking a faith based priority, including siblings, to also complete a Yavneh College Certificate of Religious Practice (CRP) and a SIF, in addition to the CAF. Applicants also have to refer to the document describing the Jewish Ethos of Yavneh College. All of these documents are available at the bottom of this page.
In view of the Supreme Court ruling in respect of Jewish schools, Yavneh College is no longer able to give priority according to Jewish status. Instead, the School will give priority to those who meet a religious practice test based on guidelines from the Chief Rabbi.
Those applicants wishing to be considered as priority applicants for available places need to obtain a certificate establishing religious practice, based on the child’s synagogue attendance, Jewish education and/or family communal activity. Please see the link below entitled
‘Yavneh College Certificate of Religious Practice (CRP).’
If sections 2 and 3 of the CRP need to be completed, applicants must make the necessary arrangements to ensure verification of the CRP by the individuals concerned. It should be noted that the CRP does not confirm that the child is Jewish in accordance with Jewish law.
ELECTRONIC SIF
You should complete and submit the SIF via our on-line facility, please click on the link at the bottom of this page and follow the instructions. The deadline for submission of an electronic SIF is 31 October 2023.
Please note the following:
- Please ensure you complete every field requested. Once completed and submitted, you will be emailed a copy of the SIF for your records.
The SIF and CRP must be completed and returned to Yavneh College by 31 October 2023. All applicants will first be ranked according to whether or not they have achieved 6 points in accordance with the Yavneh College CRP. In the event of over subscription, all applicants will then be ranked according to our published admissions criteria.
Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) Applications
Parents of children with an Educational Health Care Plan are advised to apply through their Local Authority’s Special Educational Needs team. This is to ensure that the correct consultation procedure between parents, school, and SEN team at the Local Authority can take place. In accordance with the law, Yavneh College will admit pupils with Statements of Special Educational Needs that name the school.
We also ask that a SIF and CRP are completed for SEN applications.
