School admission policy : 2025/26 (Agreed)

If the number of applications is less than the number of spaces, then all children will be offered places.

Where a child has an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names the academy, that child will be admitted and the number of available places reduced accordingly.

If the academy is oversubscribed, priority for admission will be given to those children who meet the criteria set out below, in order:

1. Looked After Children and Previously Looked After Children, including those children who appear to the academy to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.2 A Looked After Child is either a child who is in the care of a local authority, or being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (definition used is in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989). Previously Looked After Children are those who were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order, immediately following having been looked after.

2. Children with a sibling attending the academy at the time of application.

3. Other children by distance from the academy, with priority for admission given to children who live nearest to the academy.

 If there are not enough places to satisfy all applications under any one criterion, priority will be given to a child in accordance with proximity to the academy. Where two or more applicants live an equal distance from the academy and it is not possible to differentiate between them, priority will be determined by a random allocation process. This process will be independently verified by someone independent of the academy and OAT
