Admissions policy

School admission policy : 2025/26 (Agreed)

If the academy receives more applications than there are available places then children with the academy named on an education, health care plan (EHC) or equivalent will be automatically admitted to the academy. If there are still places available, priority for admission will be given to those children who meet the oversubscription criteria set out below:

1. Looked after children and those who were previously looked after but immediately after being looked after was adopted or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order.

2. Children who are due to transfer and have an older brother or sister already at the school at the time of admission including sixth form. Siblings are ‘brothers or sisters living at the same address including adopted children, stepbrothers, stepsisters and children in foster care within a family unit’;

3. Children who have been offered a place under the music potential and aptitude criteria;

4. Children of staff at the school:

5. Children who are due to transfer living nearest to the academy will be measured on a straight line crow flies basis using ordnance survey data; if following the application of admission rules and distance, two applicants cannot be separated for a final place, the academy will be determined by the local authority who manages our admissions using random allocation to determine the priority for the remaining place.
