Admissions Policy

THIS SCHOOL WAS NOT OVER-SUBSCRIBED FOR SEPTEMBER 2021

If there are more applications for places than there are places available, we will give preference to children living nearest to the school, according to the following rules in this order of priority:-

1. children with a statement of special educational needs naming that school
2. children in public care who are due to transfer
3. children who are due to transfer, living in the area served by the school who have a brother or sister attending the school at the time of their admission
4. children who are due to transfer, living in the area served by the school who have no brother or sister connection with the school
5. children who are due to transfer, living outside the area served by the school who have a brother or sister attending the school at the time of their admission
6. children who are due to transfer, living outside the area served by the school and attend a feeder school at the opening date of the admission round.
7. children who are due to transfer, living outside the area served by the school who have no brother or sister or feeder school connection with the school.

If all children within any of the above rules cannot be offered a place, the highest priority will be given to children living nearest to the school within that rule. To determine who lives nearest, distance will be measured on a straight line 'crow fly' basis, using Ordnance Survey data. If following the application of admission rules and distance two applicants cannot be separated for a final place at a school the authority will use random allocation to determine the priority for the remaining place

Only children who are in their last year (Year 2) at an Infant or First school will be considered “due to transfer”.  Children who are attending a primary school on the opening day of the admission round are not considered as due to transfer
