Admissions policy

School admission policy : 2024/25 (Agreed)

THIS SCHOOL WAS OVER-SUBSCRIBED FOR SEPTEMBER 2023

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

  1. children with an EHCP or statement of special educational needs naming the school;
  2. children in public care who are due to transfer;
  3. children who have a sibling on roll at the academy at the time of proposed admission;
  4. children of staff in the school: To qualify for this criterion the member of staff concerned must have been in post at the school for 1 year at the date of application. The only exception to this rule will be where the school can demonstrate a recruitment issue for that post;
  5. children who are due to transfer and live in the area served by the school;
  6. children who are due to transfer who live outside the area served by the school and attend a feeder 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 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 academy will use random allocation to determine the priority for the remaining place.

Feeder schools: - Garvestone Primary School, Thomas Bullock Church of England Primary Academy, Mattishall Primary School, Toftwood Community Junior School, Hockering CE Primary School, Yaxham CE VA Primary School.
