Admissions policy

School admission policy : 2023/24 (Agreed)

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:

1. Looked after children and children who were previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to adoption, a child arrangements order, or special guardianship order.

2. Priority will next be given to siblings of pupils who will already be on the roll of the school or Wymondham College 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.

3. Priority will be given to those students who apply who are living in the catchment area as defined in the Preps admission policy.

Tie-break If a tie-break is necessary to determine which child is admitted, places will be allocated by random allocation. Random allocation will not be applied to multiple birth siblings (twins and triplets etc.) from the same family tied for the final place. We will admit them all, as permitted by the infant class size rules and exceed our Published Admission Number.
