Admissions policy

School admission policy : 2024/25 (Agreed)

THIS SCHOOL WAS NOT OVER-SUBSCRIBED FOR SEPTEMBER 2023

If there are more applications for Year 7 places than there are places available, we will give preference to children according to the following criteria, in this order of priority:

1.   Looked after children and all previously looked after children. Looked after children are children who are either in the care of a local authority or being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions, in accordance with section 22 of the Children Act (1989), at the time an application for a place is made.

2.   Siblings of current pupils, who, for the purposes of this policy, are defined as children living permanently at the same address as a child already attending the academy and either have one or both parents in common, are related by a parent’s marriage or civil partnership, are adopted or fostered by a common parent, or are related children who live at the same address whose parents live as partners. These conditions must be met at the time of their admission (including for children in the sixth form).

3.   Children of permanent teaching and support staff of an ATT academy who have been employed at the academy where the application for admission is made for 2 years or more at the time of application, or a member of staff who is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage at the same academy.

4.   Children who attend Iceni Academy (Hockwold) at the time of application to join Year 7

5.   Other children by distance from the academy, with priority for admission given to children who live nearest to the academy as measured using Ordnance Survey data to plot an address (employing the measuring system used by the local authority in which the academy is situated). Distances are measured as the crow flies (a straight-line distance) from the child’s property address point to the academy’s main reception area.
