Admissions policy

School admission policy : 2025/26 (Agreed)

If there are more applications for places than there are places available, we will give preference to children living nearest to the school, according to the following order of priority.  Children who are due to start school and:

1. have an EHCP naming the school

2. are in public care, have been adopted from public care or adopted from abroad

3. live in the catchment area who have a sibling attending the school at the time of their admission

4. live in the catchment area who have a brother or sister attending the feeder junior school

5. have a disability and live in the catchment area (appropriate professional evidence will be required to confirm the disability)

6. live in the catchment area

7. have been allocated a permanent place at a Specialist Resource Base attached to the school

8. live outside the catchment who have a brother or sister with an EHCP attending the school at the time of their admission

9. live outside the catchment who have a sibling attending the school at the time of their admission

10. live outside the catchment who have a brother or sister attending the feeder junior school

11. have a disability and live outside catchment area (appropriate professional evidence will be required to confirm the disability)

12. Children of staff

13. live outside the catchment area

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 crow fly basis using Ordnance Survey data.

School admission policy : 2026/27 (Agreed)

Where the Academy is oversubscribed (there are more applicants than places available) places will be allocated in accordance with the following criteria and in the following order of priority.

1. Looked after children (children in care) and all previously looked after children, 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. Previously looked after children are children 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

2. Siblings of children already at the school living in the catchment area

3. Residence within the catchment area of the school

4. Siblings of children already at the school living out of catchment

5. Children living out of the catchment area who have a faith and / or whose parents are committed Church members and wish them to receive an education in a school with a Church of England

6. Children of staff where:

a) a 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 where there is a demonstrable skill shortage

7. Children who live outside the area served by the school who attend a school within St Benet’s MAT at the opening date of the admissions round.

8. Resident out of the catchment area of the school

In the event of the having to use a tie-break to distinguish between two or more applications of equal strength, the child living the shortest distance from home to school in a straight line as the crow flies route should have priority
