THIS SCHOOL WAS  OVER-SUBSCRIBED FOR SEPTEMBER 2023

In the event of there being more requests for places than places available, children will be admitted in the following order of priority:

1.children with an Educational Health and Care Plan naming that school;
2.children in public care who are due to transfer;
3.children who are due to transfer and live in the area served by the school;
4.children who are due to transfer and live outside the area served by the school, who have an older brother or sister attending the school at the time of admission (but not the Sixth Form);
5.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.
6.children who are due to transfer and live outside the area served by the school.
