School admission policy : 2026/27 (Agreed)

The following criteria apply to all of the schools in Kingfisher Schools Trust.

All children whose education, health and care (EHC) plans name one of our schools will be admitted to the school before any other places are allocated. If our schools are not oversubscribed, all applicants will be offered a place.

In the event that our schools receive more applications than the number of places 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 two 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 who are ordinarily resident within the designated catchment area and have a sibling who will be on the school’s roll at the time of admission or has already been offered a place. 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.
