School admission policy : 2024/25 (Agreed)
The Academy has a Pupil Admission Number
(PAN) of 60 for the Reception class and a PAN of 60 for Year 3. Places will be
offered up to but not exceeding the PAN.
Regulations also require that Foundation
2 (reception) and infant classes must have no more than 30 pupils to each
teacher.
In the event of over-subscription, where
there are more applications than there are places available, the following
priorities will be used, in order, to allocate places:
1. Children in the care of the local
authority and children who were previously looked after but ceased to be so because
they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangement order or special
guardianship order). Including those children who appear (to the admission
authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in
state care as a result of being adopted.
2. Children living in the catchment area
who have an older brother or sister attending at the time of admission.
3. Children living outside the catchment
area of the school who have an elder brother or sister at the school at the
time of admission.
4. Children who are eligible for early
years’ pupil premium, the pupil premium or the service premium.
5. Children whose parents pay optional
nursery fees to the nursery for additional hours on top of their 15-hour funded
early education, where children from the school nursery class or school-run
nursery are given priority for admission to Reception.
6. Other children living within the
catchment area.
7. Children who live nearest to the
academy measured on a straight line basis using Ordnance Survey data.
If priorities have to be decided within
any of these categories, children will be placed in order of priority using a
straight line distance measured from the Post Office address point on the home
address t to the Post Office address point on the school

For admission to Year 3, the transfer from the Infant School
is not automatic. Admission to Year 3 is coordinated by the Local Authority.
The over-subscription criteria used to allocate places in Year 3 follow that
for admission to Reception. The waiting list is managed by the Local Authority
in strict over-subscription criteria order until 31 December of that academic
year
