School admission policy : 2024/25 (Agreed)
THIS SCHOOL WAS OVER-SUBSCRIBED FOR SEPTEMBER 2023
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:
1. Looked after children and those who were previously
looked after but immediately after being looked after was adopted or became
subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order.
2. Up to 10% of students on the basis of aptitude in
Information Technology
3. Siblings of students who will be register in years 7 to
11 at the school on the first day of term when the applicant student will be
joining the school
4. Children whose parent/carer is a staff member at the
academy with 2 or more years’ service at the time at which the application was
made or recruited to a vacancy with an identified skills shortage
5. Children living in the town of Gorleston, the Parish of
Bradwell and the catchment area served by Belton Moorlands
6. Children living outside the priority areas listed in rule
5 above.
If all children within any of the rules stated cannot be offered a place, the highest priority will be given to children
living nearest to the academy within that rule. This is the straight line
distance (using the Local Authority system) between the academy main gate and
the child’s home address (front door). Where two dwellings with the same front
entrance the closest dwelling to the front door (lower floor and counting
clockwise) will be regarded as being closer to the academy. In the event that
two students live an equal distance from the academy there will be a random
ballot supervised by independent person.
