Admissions policy

School admission policy : 2023/24 (Agreed)

If there are more applications for places than there are places available, the Trust will admit children in the following order of priority:

1 Looked after children (previously known as children in the care of the Local Authority) and all previously looked after children. Previously looked after children are children who were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangement order or special guardianship order).

2 Children who have a sibling on roll at the academy at the time of the proposed admission. Siblings are “brothers or sisters living at the same address including adopted children, step-brothers, step-sisters and children in foster care within a family unit.

3 Children of staff at the academy a) where the member of staff has been employed at the academy for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the academy is made; and/or b) the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage;

4. Children who currently attend Great Yarmouth Primary Nursery;
