Admissions policy

School admission policy : 2024/25 (Agreed)

THIS SCHOOL WAS OVER-SUBSCRIBED FOR SEPTEMBER 2023

If the number of applications exceeds availability, students will be allocated school places in the following order of priority by Norfolk Admissions:

1. Children with an EHCP (education, health and care plan) or statement of special educational needs naming the school.

2. Children who are in public care (LAC) or who have been adopted from public care (Post LAC) who are due to transfer.

3. Children who have a sibling on roll at APHS at the time of the proposed admission. .

4. Children of staff working for Wensum Trust

5. Children living nearest to APHS, by straight line distance (“as the crow flies”

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 rule. To determine who lives nearest, distance will be measured on a straight-line ‘crow fly’ basis, using Ordnance Survey data. If following the application of admission rules and distance two applicants cannot be separated for a final place at a school the authority will use random allocation to determine the priority for the remaining place.
