- Children living in the parishes of Walpole St. Andrew, Walpole St. Peter and Walpole Marsh
- children who already have siblings at the school at the time of their admission to school
- children of regular worshipping members of the Church of England(Regular = attendance at Church services at least once a month)
; - children of regular worshipping members of a non Anglican Christian Church(Regular = attendance at Church Services at least once a month)
- children whose parents, if not worshipping members of a Christian Church, nevertheless wish their child to attend a Church of England aided school because of its specifically religious emphasis.

School admission policy : 2026/27 (Agreed)
When the school is oversubscribed, after the admission of
Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) where the Academy is
named, priority for admission will be given to those children who meet the
criteria set out below:
Looked after children and previously looked after children including
those who appear (to the Admissions Authority) to have been in state care
outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
Sibling: where
the child has a sibling in the school or a sibling has already been offered a
place at the school, and where the sibling will still be attending the school
at the time of admission but not in a specialist unit or a specialist resource
base for Hearing Impaired provision or in a nursery/pre-school. Priority will
be given, where necessary, to applications where there is the smallest age gap.
Children of staff
recruited to fill a vacant post at the school for which there is a demonstrable
skill shortage. DEMAT is required to approve the Headteachers’ designation of
such posts and confirm the assessment that a member of staff appointed meets the
requirements of the shortage. Priority will be limited to one place for each
form of entry in any year.
