Admissions policy

School admission policy : 2024/25 (Agreed)

THIS SCHOOL WAS OVER-SUBSCRIBED FOR YEAR 7 ADMISSIONS IN SEPTEMBER 2023

Admission arrangements at Reception

Published Admission limit: 25. In the case of over-subscription, places will be offered in the following order of priority.

Children who are due to start school and:

  1. Have an Education Health and Care Plan naming the school
  2. Children in public care and those previously in public care who have been adopted or are subject to a residence order or special guardianship order
  3. Live in the area served by the school and who have a sibling attending the school at the time of their admission
  4. Have a disability and live in the area served by the school (appropriate professional evidence will be required to confirm the disability)
  5. Live in the area served by the school
  6. Live outside the area served by the school who have a brother or sister with an EHCP attending the school at the time of their admission
  7. Live outside the area served by the school and who have a sibling attending the school at the time of their admission
  8. Children of staff
  9. Have a disability and live outside the area served by the school (appropriate professional evidence will be required to confirm the disability)
  10. Children who are due to start school, living outside the area served by the school who have a brother or sister at the school

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 rul. To determine who lives nearest, distance will be measured on a straight line 'crow fly' basis, using Ordnance Survey data. The address will be measured from the post office address point on the property.

In the unlikely event that distance does not separate the final two or more pupils seeking the last remaining place, a random allocation will be used to determine who is offered the final place.

Admission at Year 7

Published admission limit: 87

Children already in Year 6 at Litcham School will automatically progress to the secondary phase at the start of Year 7. Parents of children in Year 6 at other primary schools are invited to make application by the Local Authority. In the case of over-subscription, places will be offered in the following order of priority.

  1. Have an Education Health and Care Plan naming the school
  2. Children in public care and those previously in public care who have been adopted or are subject to a residence order or special guardianship order
  3. Children who are due to transfer and live in the area served by the school
  4. Children who are due transfer and live outside the area served by the school who have a brother or sister attending the school at the time of admission
  5. Children of staff
  6. Children who are due to transfer and live outside the area served by the school but are attending a feeder primary school at the opening date of the admission round
  7. Children who are due to transfer and live outside the area served by the school.

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 rul. To determine who lives nearest, distance will be measured on a straight line 'crow fly' basis, using Ordnance Survey data.
