School admission policy : 2025/26 (Agreed)
In
the event of oversubscription, where there are more applications than there are
places available, the following priorities will be used, in order, to allocate
places:
1
Looked after children, or a child who was previously looked after but
immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption order,
residence, or special guardianship order. A looked after child is a child who
is (a) in the care of a Local Authority, or (b) being provided with
accommodation by a Local Authority in the exercise of their social services
functions.
2 Up to 10% of pupils on the
basis of aptitude in Modern Foreign Languages. Parents who wish to apply for
their child to be considered for aptitude in Modern Foreign Languages (up to
10% of intake) must complete a Supplementary Information Form available from
the school’s website and from the school from 10th September of the year prior
to transfer. (The school will set a test for these pupils and will make every
reasonable effort to inform parents of the outcome before 31st October, prior
to parents’ submission of the Common Application Form to the Local Authority).
3 Siblings of pupils in attendance at the Academy in Year 7 to Year 11 at the date of admission. These include brothers and sisters, half brothers and sisters and stepbrothers and sisters who share the same home. These also include adopted and foster brothers and sisters who share the same home.
4 Children for whom Lynn Grove Academy is the only school that is appropriate for the child to attend because of the child’s medical needs, or because of a serious and ongoing medical condition of one or both of their parents which would prevent the parents being able to make arrangements to take their child to and from any other school, will be allocated places under this priority.
5 Pupils in the transfer age group at Woodlands, Wroughton, Hillside, Moorlands and Homefield Primary schools
6 Pupils living within the catchment area of Hopton, Browston, Belton, Fritton, Burgh Castle, Bradwell, Gorleston, St Olaves and Great Yarmouth
7 Pupils living outside of the
catchment area.
