School admission policy : 2026/27 (Agreed)
If
the academy is oversubscribed, priority for admission will be given to those
children who meet the criteria set out below, in order:
1. Looked After Children and Previously Looked After
Children, including those children who appear to the academy to have been in
state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of
being adopted.1 A Looked After Child is either a child who is in the care of a
local authority, or being provided with accommodation by a local authority in
the exercise of their social services functions (definition used is in Section
22(1) of the Children Act 1989). Previously Looked After Children are those who
were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted or became
subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order,
immediately following having been looked after.
2. Children with a sibling attending the academy at the time
of application.
3. Children attending Ormiston Cliff Park Primary Academy
Nursery at the point of application.
4. Children of staff in either or both of the following
circumstances: a) where the member of staff has been employed at the school for
two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the
school is made; and/or b) the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant
post at the school for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
5. Other children by distance from the academy, with
priority for admission given to children who live nearest to the academy
If
there are not enough places to satisfy all applications under any one
criterion, priority will be given to a child in accordance with proximity to
the academy. Where two or more applicants live an equal distance from the
academy and it is not possible to differentiate between them, priority will be
determined by a random allocation process. This process will be independently
verified by someone independent of the academy and OAT.
