School admission policy : 2025/26 (Agreed)
All children whose education,
health and care (EHC) plan name King Edward VII Academy will be admitted before
any other places are allocated.
If King Edward VII Academy is
not oversubscribed, all applicants will be offered a place.
In the event that King Edward VII Academy receives more applications than the number of places it has available, places will be given to those children who meet any of the criteria set out below, in order until all places are filled:
1.
Highest priority will be given to looked after children and all previously
looked after children who apply for a place at King Edward VII Academy.
2.
Priority will next be given to children with siblings at King Edward VII
Academy. Siblings include step siblings, foster siblings, adopted siblings and
other children living permanently at the same address. Priority will not be
given to children with siblings who are former pupils of King Edward VII
Academy.
3.
Priority will next be given to children of staff at King Edward VII Academy, in
either of the following circumstances: the member of staff has been employed at
King Edward VII Academy for two or more years at the time at which the
application for admission to the school is made, or the member of staff is
recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill
shortage
4.
Priority will next be given to children who qualify for a musical aptitude
place as set out in section 7.2 above (Up to 10% of PAN i.e., 23 places). For
the avoidance of doubt, where a child has qualified for a music aptitude place,
but they have already been allocated their place under the categories above
(points 1-3), the number of places left within this category will be reduced by
the same number.
5.
Priority will next be given to children who attend named feeder schools. Our
named feeder schools are Eastgate Academy, Greyfriars Primary School, North
Wootton Primary School, St Michael’s Primary School, South Wootton Junior
School and Whitefriars Primary School.
6. Priority will next be given
to children living nearest King Edward VII Academy, by a straight line distance
