School admission policy : 2023/24 (Agreed)
THIS SCHOOL WAS NOT OVER-SUBSCRIBED FOR SEPTEMBER 2022
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:
1. Looked after children, or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption order, residence, or special guardianship order. .
2 A fair banding system will be adopted for the remaining places. Each applicant will be required to take an online non-verbal reasoning test which would place them in a rank order. The applicants will then be placed in one of 5 ability bands based on their performance in the test. As far as are possible, each band will contain the same number of applicants so that each represents 20% of the applicants. The remaining places will be allocated so that an equivalent number of applicants are admitted from each band. Applicants will then be admitted according to the criteria listed below.
3 Siblings of pupils in attendance at the Academy in Year 7 to Year 11. These include brothers and sisters, half brothers and sisters and step brothers and sisters who share the same home. These also include adopted and foster brothers and sisters who share the same home.
4 Children for whom Caister Academy is the only school that is appropriate for the child to attend because of the child’s medical needs, or because of a serious and ongoing medical condition of one or both of their parents which would prevent the parents being able to make arrangements to take their child to and from any other school, will be allocated places under this priority.
A decision on whether to admit a child under this priority will be made by the Admissions Panel of Caister Academy, who will take care to apply a consistent approach to all such applications received. .
5 Pupils in the transfer age group at Caister Junior, North Denes, Great Yarmouth, Filby, Ormesby Junior, Hemsby, Winterton, St Nicholas Priory CE VA, St Georges, and Edward Worlledge Primary Schools.
6 Pupils living within the catchment area of Caister upon Sea, Filby, Ormesby, Winterton, Hemsby, Fleggburgh, Great Yarmouth and Southtown.
7 Pupils living outside of the catchment area.
If priorities have to be decided within any of these categories, children will be placed in order of priority using distance from their home to the main entrance of the academy as measured by straight line. .
