THIS SCHOOL WAS OVER-SUBSCRIBED FOR SEPTEMBER 2023
If more pupils apply for places, then places will be allocated according to the following criteria, in order:
1. To looked after children and previously looked after children who are due to transfer and those children with a statement of special educational need or educational health care plan, whose parents have requested that this school is named on the statement.
2. To pupils living permanently within the Schools catchment area as defined by Norfolk Local Education Authority and shown in its catchment area map. If more than 270 such pupils apply, places will be allocated on the basis of geographical distance from the school gates.
3. Up to 10% of available places will be allocated to pupils living outside the catchment area on a basis of aptitude in the Performing Arts and regardless of distance, provided that their parents assume responsibility for these pupils transport to and from school and the costs thereof. 13 places will be available for Drama and 14 for Music.
4. To pupils whose elder siblings already attend the School at the time of admission in Years 7 - 11, and in Years 12 and 13 if they attended the School in Years 7 - 11.
5. To pupils eligible for the service premium. A pupil is eligible for the service premium if: a) one of their parents is serving in the regular armed forces (including pupils with a parent who is on full commitment as part of the full time reserve service); b) they have been registered as a ‘service child’ on the January school census at any point since 2016; c) one of their parents died whilst serving in the armed forces and the pupil receives a pension under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme or the War Pensions Scheme.
6. Priority will next be given to pupils of staff where: a) the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, and/or b) the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
7. To pupils not living in the catchment area transferring from Springwood’s feeder primary schools, namely Fairstead, Flitcham, Gaywood, Holly Meadows, Ashwicken, Gayton, St. Marthas and Sandringham & West Newton
8. To any other applicants up to the maximum number to be admitted.
