School admission policy : 2024/25 (Agreed)
In the case of oversubscription to this academy DNEAT have
delegated the application of oversubscription criteria to the Local Governing
Body.
A child who has an Education Health and Care Plan (or
statement of special educational need) naming the academy is required to be
admitted. If there are more children who wish to enter school than there are
places, then the following oversubscription criteria will apply in order of
priority:
1. Looked after children (children in care) and all
previously looked after children, including those children who appear (to the
admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased
to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
2. Siblings of children already at the school living in the
catchment
3. Residence within the catchment area of the school
4. Siblings of children already at the school living out of
catchment
5. Children of staff where: a. A member of staff has been
employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the
application for admission to the school is made and/or; b. The member of staff
is recruited to fill a vacant post where there is a demonstrable skill
shortage.
6. Children who are due to transfer and live outside the
area served by the school who attend a school within DNEAT at the opening date
of the admissions round.
7. Resident out of the catchment area of the school
In the event of the having to use a tie-breaker to
distinguish between two or more applications of equal strength, the child
living the shortest distance from home to school in a straight line as the crow
flies route should have priority.
