School admission policy : 2025/26 (Agreed)
When the school is oversubscribed, after the admission of
Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) where the Academy is
named, priority for admission will be given to those children who meet the
criteria set out below:
1. Looked after children and previously looked after
children including those who appear (to the Admissions Authority) to have been
in state care outside of England4 and ceased to be in state care as a result of
being adopted.
2. Sibling: where the child has a sibling in the school or a
sibling has already been offered a place at the school, and where the sibling
will still be attending the school at the time of admission but not in a
specialist unit or a specialist resource base for Hearing Impaired provision or
in a nursery/pre-school. Priority will be given, where necessary, to
applications where there is the smallest age gap.
3. Children of staff recruited to fill a vacant post at the
school for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage. DEMAT is required to
approve the Headteachers’ designation of such posts and confirm the assessment
that a member of staff appointed meets the requirements of the shortage.
Priority will be limited to one place for each form of entry in any year.
4. All other applicants
In cases where there are more applicants within a criterion
than there are places available, a straight line distance measurement between
the child’s home and the school will be used to rank applications.
