School admission policy : 2024/25 (Agreed)

This school was not over-subscribed for September 2023 

If there are more requests for places than places available, the Authority will admit children in the following order of priority:

1.        children with an Education, Health and Care Plan or Statement of special educational needs naming the school;

2.        children in public care, have been adopted from public care or adopted from abroad who are due to transfer;

3.        children who are due to transfer and live in the catchment area;

4.        children who are due to transfer who have been allocated a permanent place at a Specialist Resource Base attached to the school (Places allocated by Norfolk County Council's Placement Panel);

5.        children who are eligible for the service premium. A pupil is eligible for the service premium if:

a) one of their parents is serving in the regular armed forces (including pupils with a parent who is on full commitment as part of the full time reserve service);

b) they have been registered as a ‘service child’ on the January school census at any point since 2016;

c) one of their parents died whilst serving in the armed forces and the pupil receives a pension under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme or the War Pensions Scheme. 

6.        children who are due to transfer and live outside the catchment area, who have an older brother or sister attending the school at the time of admission (but not the sixth form);

7.        children who are due to transfer who live outside the catchment area and attend a feeder school at the opening date of the admission round   

8.        children of staff at the school 

9.        children who are due to transfer and live outside the catchment area.

If all children within any of the above rules cannot be offered a place, the highest priority will be given to children living nearest to the school within that rule. To determine who lives nearest, distance will be measured on a straight line 'crow fly' basis, using Ordnance Survey data. If following the application of admission rules and distance two applicants cannot be separated for a final place at a school the authority will use random allocation to determine the priority for the remaining place.
