Yarmouth Charter Academy receives more applications than the number of places
it has available, places will be given to those children who meet any of the
criteria set out below, in order until all places are filled:
1.
Highest priority will be given to looked after children and all previously
looked after children who apply for a place at Great Yarmouth Charter Academy.
2.
Priority will next be given to children with siblings at Great Yarmouth Charter
Academy (this includes siblings in the Sir Isaac Newton East sixth form).
Siblings include step siblings, foster siblings, adopted siblings and other
children living permanently at the same address. Priority will not be given to
children with siblings who are former pupils of Great Yarmouth Charter Academy.
3. Priority will next be given to children of staff 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 school is made, or the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage

Academy

Priority will next be given to children who qualify for a musical aptitude
place as set out in section 7.2 above (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 same number.
