School admission policy : 2024/25 (Agreed)
All children whose education, health and care (EHC) plans
name the school will be admitted before any other places are allocated.
If the school is not oversubscribed, all applicants will be
offered a place. In the event that the school receives more applications than
the number of places it has available, places will be given to those children
who meet any of the criteria set out below, in order until all places are
filled.
1. Highest priority will be given to looked after children
and all previously looked after children who apply for a place at the school.
2. Priority will next be given to children of staff at the
school, in either of the following circumstances: a) The member of staff has
been employed at the school for 2 or more years at the time at which the
application for admission to the school is made, or b) The member of staff is
recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill
shortage
3. Priority will next be given to children with siblings at
the school. Siblings include step siblings, foster siblings, adopted siblings
and other children living permanently at the same address. Priority will not be
given to children with siblings who are former pupils of the school.
4. Other children living inside the catchment area.
5. Other children living outside the catchment area.
In the case of 2 or more applications that cannot be
separated by the oversubscription criteria outlined above, the school will use
the distance between the school and a child’s home as a tie breaker to decide
between applicants. Priority will be given to children who live closest to the
school.
