School admission policy : 2023/24 (Agreed)
The Academy has a Pupil Admission Number (PAN) of 60 for the Reception class and places will be offered up to but not exceeding the PAN. Regulations also require that Foundation 2 (reception) and infant classes must have no more than 30 pupils to each teacher.
In the event of over-subscription, where there are more applications than there are places available, the following priorities will be used, in order, to allocate places:
Children cared for by a local authority and children who were previously looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order).
Children living in the catchment area who have an older brother or sister attending at the time of admission.
Children living outside the catchment area of the school who have an elder brother or sister at the school at the time of admission.
Children who are eligible for early years’ pupil premium, the pupil premium or the service premium.
Children whose parents pay optional nursery fees to the nursery for additional hours on top of their 15-hour funded early education, where children from the school nursery class or school-run nursery are given priority for admission to Reception.
Other children living within the catchment area.
Children who live nearest to the academy measured on a straight line basis using Ordnance Survey data. If priorities have to be decided within any of these categories, children will be placed in order of priority using a straight line distance measured from the Post Office address point on the home address t to the Post Office address point on the school.
