Admissions policy

School admission policy : 2024/25 (Agreed)

If there are more applications of places than there are places available, we will give preference to children living nearest to the school, according to the following rules in this order of priority: 

1. Children with a statement of special education needs or an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) naming Howard Junior School. 

 2. Children in public care who are due to start school. 

 3. Children who are due to start school, living in the area served by the school, who have a brother or sister attending the school at the time of their admission. 

4. Children who are due to start school, living in the area served by the school, with no brother or sister at that school. 

 5. Children who are due to start school, living outside the area served by the school, who have a brother or sister attending the school at the time of their admission.

6. Children who are due to start school, living outside the area served by the school, who have no brother or sister at the school.

If all children within any of the above rules cannot be offered a place, the highest priority will be given to children living nearest to the school within that rule. To determine who lives nearest, distance will be measured on a straight line basis, using Ordnance Survey data. The address will be measured from the post office address point on the property. If, following the application of admission rules and distance, two applicants cannot be separated for a final place at a school the authority will use random allocation to determine the priority for the remaining place.
