School admission policy : 2024/25 (Agreed)
To ensure that decisions to admit children are based on fair and transparent criteria. If there are more requests for places than places available, children will be allocated places in the following order of priority:
1. Children who are looked after
2. Children for whom an EHCP of special educational needs names the school
3. Children residing in the school’s catchment area
4. Children out of the catchment area with brothers or sisters already attending school at the time of their admission
5. Other children residing outside the school’s catchment area with those living nearest being given a higher priority
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 Ordinance Survey data. If, following the application of admission rules and distance, two applicants cannot be separated for a final place at a school, the Governing Body will use random allocation to determine the priority for the remaining place. Transition from pre-school to Reception is not automatic and must be applied for via Norfolk County Council Admissions
