School admission policy : 2018/19 (Agreed)
If there are more applications for places than there are places available, we will give preference to children living nearest to the school, according to the following rules in this order of priority:
children with a statement of special educational needs naming that school
children in public care who are due to start school
children who are due to start school, living in the area served by the school who have a brother or sister attending the school at the time of their admission
children who are due to start school, living in the area served by the school who have a brother or sister attending the adjoining middle/junior school
children who are due to start school, living in the area served by the school with no brother or sister at that school or the adjoining middle/junior school
children who are due to start school, living outside the area served by the school who have a brother or sister attending the school at the time of their admission
children who are due to start school, living outside the area served by the school who have a brother or sister attending the adjoining middle/junior school
children who are due to start school, living outside the area served by the school who have no brother or sister at that school or the adjoining middle/junior 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 line crow fly basis, using Ordnance Survey data. The address will be measured from the post office address point on the property. If following the application of admission rules and distance two applicants cannot be separated for a final place at a school the authority will use random allocation to determine the priority for the remaining place.
Important Note: 'School' is defined as the main school and not a learning support centre or nursery class attached to the school. This means that no priority would be given to a child from outside the catchment area who had either a brother or sister at the attached nursery class or in temporary or part-time attendance at the attached learning support centre. The address given on the application form will be used to decide the catchment school.
Adjoining junior/middle school - this only applies when the two schools share the same site.
