School admission policy : 2023/24 (Agreed)
If there is oversubscription in any priority category, places within that category will be allocated according to the order of the subsequent priorities. Any additional “tie break” will be determined by a random lottery conducted by the School under the supervision of an independent person.
FIRST PRIORITY is given to candidates who are looked after by a Local Authority in England and Wales in accordance with section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989(b) at the time the application is made and those who were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order
SECOND PRIORITY is given to candidates who have a sibling who is on roll at Old Buckenham Primary School and Nursery or at Old Buckenham High School. A sibling is defined as a brother or sister sharing at least one parent and who is normally resident at the same address. This includes adopted children and those living in the same home under a recognised fostering arrangement.
Remaining places are allocated on the basis of proximity to the School. This is determined as the straight line distance between the address at which the child is resident on the closing date for applications and the main entrance of the School using Ordinance Survey data and calculated by the Local Authority School Admissions Department.
