(EWS)

The admission policy will reflect the general ethos and philosophy of the Springdales Schools run by the Springdales Education Society (Estd 1956). The schools are inter-generational, and promote inclusivity, integration and heterogeneity in their student community. They impart a wholesome education which develops in Springdalians good citizenship, social responsibility and multi-faceted talent. The school motto "Vasudaiva Kutumbhakum - the world is a family" permeates the entire curriculum and elucidates its commitment to an integrated secular India and a peaceful and a socially just world.

The Management, staff, alumni and parents share a collective vision and mutual purpose in education so that the students may fruitfully contribute to the wider society and address the realities and concerns of our country and of the world.

Springdales has a clear DIVERSITY POLICY in place which is reflective of the Constitutional goals of our nation. We believe in the intrinsic right of every child to receive good quality education. So along with others we educate :-

• Children of Economically Weaker Sections of Society
• Children with Special Needs
• Children of Minority Communities
• Children of Different Regions of the country
• Children of Foreign Nations

We have therefore kept the following categories which are in consonance with the school policy and guidelines of the RTE Act.

Children of the EWS category will be given 25% of the seats as per the total intake of the entry class i.e. 34. This is the percentage mandated under the RTE Act and is a part of our social responsibility.

The applicants will have to fulfil the eligibility criteria prescribed by Govt and given in the Registration Form a copy of which is placed on the public domain.

If the seats exceed the number of seats available children will be admitted through Random Selection (Draw of lots) in the presence of the parent applicants. There will be a separate draw of lots for the Girl child for gender parity.

The whole process will be fair and transparent with names of selected and non-selected candidates placed on public domain.

For this category there will be 63 seats available which will be 46% of the total seats for this class.

The Criteria for selection of these children will be in accordance with the guidelines given. i.e. there will be no interviewing or screening of children or their parents. The whole process will be fair and rational, non-discriminatory, transparent and child-friendly. Admission will be based on the information given and will have to be backed by authentic proofs with documents attached to the form when submitted. Information regarding parents' professions and educational qualifications will not form a part of the admission criteria. It will be used only for school data processing.

Admission for the General Category of seats will be based on the criterias as per school's policy for which points will be given to ensure a rational and fair result. If there is a tie in the points for the last seats to be allotted there will be Random Selection in the form of a Draw of lots to finalise these seats in the same transparent manner as for the EWS category. The list of selected and non-selected candidates will be placed on the public domain showing the points secured.

Children of Staff :

All permanent members of staff have a right to apply for the admission of their children. If any member falls under EWS category the child will be considered under that category. Candidates must apply through an Online Registration Form but no points are required for this category. If the applications exceed the number of seats allotted there will be a draw of lots and the non-selected candidates will be deferred to the next session. Grandchildren of retired staff may be considered as fee paying students if seats are not filled. Any seats unavailed at the time of closure of admission will be transferred to General category.

Special Needs Category :

The schools have a well recognized Integrated Special Needs programme for differently - abled children. A Special Needs Centre is in operation. To be eligible for the Integrated programme parents must attach authenticated documents related to the disability and a Certificate that the Child is ready for entry to Mainstream education. There is no point system for this category.

Any seats unavailed at the time of closure will be transferred to General category.

1. Sibling Criteria (25 points allocation) :
   The school considers this to be a very important factor for admission as it becomes very problematic for parents to have children in different schools. Existing parents also have a bonding with the school which they chose for their first child because of its special features. Even then, it will not be possible to accommodate all.


2. Alumni Criteria (25 points) :
   The schools are three-generational and have a large 40 year-old Alumni Association with 4000 life members deeply attached to their Alma Mater and who have great aspirations for their children's education at Springdales. Points are allotted in accordance with the contribution they have made to the school and their bonding thereafter (20-25 points).It is regretted that all children of Alumni like siblings will not be able to find a place due to limitation of seats.


3. Residence Criteria (20 points maximum) :
   Proximity of residence to the school is beneficial to both the child and the local community. So residence has been included as a Criteria for admission. It covers the following aspects :-
   
   (a) Those who live in surrounding areas which are specified in the registration form (20 points)
   (b) Those who live further away but can make their own satisfactory transport arrangements. (10 points)
   


4. Minority Criteria (5 points) :
   In keeping with its ethos and objectives, the schools embrace a diverse mix of children from different communities, religions, regions, and linguistic groups. Aspirants must provide authentic proofs that they qualify as minorities as defined by authorized bodies like the Minorities Commission.


5. Girl Child Criteria (10 points) :
   Gender Parity and equal opportunity for the Girl child is a part of Springdalian ethos. Being co-educational the schools try to ensure that the student population has an equal balance between the sexes.


6. Single Parent Criteria (5 points) : :
   For children with single parent (legal proof must be attached for undertaking of single status).


7. 1st Born Child (Girl or Boy) not being a sibling or a child of an alumnus. (10 points) :
   It was found in the last few years that very few 1st born children secured admission. Therefore they are being allotted 10 points.
