Admissions policy

School admission policy : 2024/25 (Agreed)

Should the school receive more applications than the published admission number, the following over subscription criteria will be used, in the order shown, to decide which children are admitted:   

Over Subscription Criteria 

1. Children who are looked after or previously looked after or who have been adopted from public care

2. Children who live in the area served by the school and who have a sibling attending the school at the time of their admission. 

3. Children who have a social or medical reason for needing to attend the school in question and who live in the area served by the school (evidence of this need in the form of a letter from a doctor or social worker will be required). 

4. Other children who live in the area served by the school. 

5. Children who live outside the area served by the school who have a sibling with a statement of special educational needs attending the school at the time of their admission. 

6. Children who live outside the area served by the school who have a sibling attending the school at the time of their admission. 

7. Other children who live outside the area served by the school. 

If oversubscription occurs under any of the criteria, the highest priority will be given to children living nearest to the school.  To determine who lives nearest, distance will be measured on a straight line ‘crow-fly’ basis, using Ordnance Survey data.  If following the application of admission rules and distance two applicants cannot be separated for a final place at a school, the Trust will use random allocation to determine the priority for the remaining place.
