If the academy receives more applications than there are available places then children with the academy named on an education, health care plan (EHC) or equivalent will be automatically admitted to the academy. If there are still places available, priority for admission will be given to those children who meet the oversubscription criteria set out below:

A Looked After Child is either a child who is in the care of a local authority, or being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (definition used is in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989); or, those children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. Previously Looked After Children are those who were previously looked after but immediately after being looked after were adopted or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order.

2. Children with a sibling already at the academy at the time of admission including Sixth Form where they have attended Year 11.

3. Children of staff as detailed: a. Where the staff member has been employed at the academy for 2 of more years at the time which the application for admission to the academy was made. b. The staff member is recruited to a fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage

4. Children in the catchment as detailed in the following order: a. Children in the academy catchment area attending a named feeder school. b. Children in the academy catchment area.
