School admission policy : 2022/23 (Agreed)
THIS SCHOOL WAS NOT OVER-SUBSCRIBED FOR SEPTEMBER 2021
If there are more applications for places than there are places available, we will give preference to children according to the following rules in this order of priority:
1 Looked after children and all previously looked after children i.e. Looked After Children -children who are (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 in accordance with section 22 of the Children Act 1989, at the time an application for a school is made; Previously Looked After Children -children who were previously looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (under the Adoption Act 1976 or Adoption and Childrens Act 2002), or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order immediately following after being looked after.
2 Siblings of current pupils which, for the purposes of this policy, are defined as children living permanently at the same address as a child attending the academy and either have one or both parents in common; are related by a parent’s marriage; are adopted or fostered by a common parent or are related children who live at the same address whose parents are partners. This definition relates to the time of their admission (including children in the sixth form)
3 Children of permanent staff of the Academy Transformation Trust 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 when a member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage at the same academy.
4 Children who attend an ATT Primary Academy at the time of application to join a Year 7 Secondary ATT Academy, who are in the same geographical catchment area within the same local authority.
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’ (i.e. a straight-line distance) from the child’s property address point to the academy’s property address point on the site where the child will predominantly be based.
