When the school is oversubscribed, after the admission of pupils with an Education, Health and Care plan or a Statement of Special Educational Needs naming the school, priority for admission will be given to those children who meet the criteria set out below, in priority order:

FIRST PRIORITY is given to candidates who are looked after or are previously looked after in accordance with paragraph 1.7 of the Schools Admission Code (September 2021).

SECOND PRIORITY: Priority will next be given to siblings of pupils who will already be on the roll of the school at the time of the admission. For the purposes of this criterion, siblings are 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.

THIRD PRIORITY is given to children of staff (includes support and teaching staff on a permanent contract) at the school where the member of staff is the legal parent / guardian of that child and:

(i) been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, or (ii) have been recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.

Remaining places are allocated on the basis of proximity as measured by the Local Authority Admissions Office. Distance is measured from the child’s home to the front gates of the school in a straight line
