Admissions policy

School admission policy : 2024/25 (Agreed)

The Governors will give preference, in this order, to:

(1) Children with a statement of special educational needs naming this school
(2) Looked after children in public care
(3) Children from the catchment area with siblings already at the school 
(4) Children from the catchment area
(5) Children from outside the catchment area with siblings already at the school
(6) Children from outside the catchment area whose parents worship in the Church of England and express a wish for them to attend a Church of England school.

 
If, within category 6, there are still more children than places available, those children living nearer the school as the crow flies will be accepted

School admission policy : 2025/26 (Agreed)

Where the Academy is oversubscribed (there are more applicants than places available) places will be allocated in accordance with the following criteria and in the following order of priority.

1. Looked after children (children in care) and all previously looked after children, including those children who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. Previously looked after children are children who were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order

2. Siblings of children already at the school living in the catchment area

3. Residence within the catchment area of the school

4. Siblings of children already at the school living out of catchment

5. Children living out of the catchment area who have a faith and / or whose parents are committed Church members and wish them to receive an education in a school with a Church of England foundation

6. Children of staff where:  a 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 and/or II. the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post where there is a demonstrable skill shortage

7. Children who are due to transfer and live outside the area served by the school who attend a school within DNEAT at the opening date of the admissions round.

8. Resident out of the catchment area of the school

In the event of the having to use a “tie-break” to distinguish between two or more applications of equal strength, the child living the shortest distance from home to school in a straight line as the crow flies route should have priority
