School admission policy : 2026/27 (Proposed)
In the event that Great Yarmouth Charter Academy receives
more applications than the number of places available, the order in which
places will be allocated will be as follows:
Highest priority will be given to looked after children and
all previously looked after children. Applications in this category may need to
be supported by documentary evidence confirming the child’s status. Ideally any
evidence should be received by the application deadline in the normal admission
round.
Priority will next be given to children with siblings on
roll at Great Yarmouth Charter Academy at the point of application for the new
pupil. Siblings include full siblings (sharing both parents), half siblings
(sharing one parent), step siblings (one child’s parent married to the other
child’s parent), foster siblings, adopted siblings or children of their
parent’s cohabiting partner. In all cases the sibling must live at the child’s
home address (as defined by this policy). Priority will not be given to children
with siblings who are former pupils of Great Yarmouth Charter Academy. The
sibling’s full details must be provided in the application form.
Priority will next be given to children of staff members
based at Great Yarmouth Charter Academy, in either of the following
circumstances: The member of staff has been employed at Great Yarmouth Charter
Academy for two or more years at the time at which the application for
admission to the academy is made, or the member of staff is recruited to fill a
vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage. It is not
possible for a staff member to have priority at more than one academy within
the Inspiration Trust.
Priority will next be given to children who qualify for a
musical aptitude place (section 6) (Up to 10% of PAN i.e. 17 places). For the
avoidance of doubt, where a child has qualified for a music aptitude place, but
they have already been allocated their place under the categories above , the
number of places left within this category will be reduced by the same number.
Priority will next be given to children who attend named
feeder schools. Our named feeder schools are Great Yarmouth Primary Academy and
Cobholm Primary Academy
