School admission policy : 2026/27 (Agreed)
Where the academy receives more applications than there are places available, priority for admission will be given to those children who meet the oversubscription criteria set out below.
1.
Looked after children and Previously Looked After Children. including those who
appear to the academy to have been in state care outside of England and ceased
to be so as a result of being adopted1. A Looked After Child is either a child who is in the
care of a local authority, or being provided with accommodation by a local
authority in the exercise of their social services functions (definition used
is in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989) Previously Looked After Children
are those 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
immediately following having been looked after.
2. Children in the relevant age
group which normally transfers from primary to secondary school and is living
within the catchment area served by the academy, first priority being given to
siblings at the time of application. If applications exceed the numbers in any
one of these categories, then the highest priority will be given to children
living nearest the academy, as defined above.
3. Children where there is already a sibling currently attending the academy, who is living at the same address.
4.
Children of staff where 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 the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post at
the school for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
5.
Children of the appropriate age group living outside the designated catchment area
but attending a primary school within the designated catchment area.
6. Whenever two applicants have
the same priority, then the child who lives closest to the academy, as defined
above, will be given the higher priority.

6. If there are not enough places to satisfy all applications under any one criterion, priority will be given to in accordance with proximity to the academy. Where two or more applicants live an equal distance from the academy and it is not possible to differentiate between them, priority will be determined by a random allocation process. This process will be independently verified by someone independent of the academy and OAT.
