Admissions policy

School admission policy : 2023/24 (Agreed)

THIS SCHOOL WAS  OVER-SUBSCRIBED FOR SEPTEMBER 2022

If there are more requests for places than places available, the Trust will admit children in the following order of priority:

1.     Looked after children and children in public care

2.     Children who live in the area served by the school

3.     Children who live outside the area served by the school, who have an older sibling attending the school at the time of admission (but not the Sixth Form).

4.     Children who attend a school which is a named feeder school.

5.     Children who 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 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 Trust will use random allocation to determine the priority for the remaining place.
