Admissions policy
School admission policy : 2025/26 (Agreed)
If the school is oversubscribed, priority for admission will be given to those children who meet the criteria set out below, in order:1. Children who have an EHCP or Statement of Educational Needs naming the school.
2. Children from public care or adopted from public care or adopted from abroad and are
due to transfer.
3. Children with a sibling attending the school at the time of application. Sibling is
defined in these arrangements as children who live as brother or sister in the same
house, including natural brothers or sisters, adopted siblings, stepbrothers or sisters and
foster brothers and sisters.
4. Children who live in the school’s catchment area.
5. Children with a parent that works at the school (who has been employed for at least 2
years at the time of application, or is recruited to a vacant post where there is a
demonstrable skill shortage)
6. Children that live outside the catchment area of the school.
If all children within any of the above rules cannot be offered a place, the highest priority
will be given to children living nearest to the school within that rule. To determine who
lives nearest, distance will be measured on a straight ‘crow fly’ basis, using Ordnance
Survey data. The address will be measured from the Post Office address point on the
property.
