Admissions policy

School admission policy : 2023/24 (Agreed)

THIS SCHOOL WAS NOT OVER-SUBSCRIBED FOR SEPTEMBER 2021

If there are more requests for places than places available, the Authority will admit children in the following order of priority:

  1. children with a statement of special educational needs naming the school;
  2. children in public care who are due to transfer;
  3. children who are due to transfer and live in the catchment area;
  4. children who are due to transfer who have been allocated a permanent place at a Specialist Resource Base attached to the school (Places allocated by Norfolk County Council's Placement Panel);
  5. children who are due to transfer and live outside the catchment area, who have an older brother or sister attending the school at the time of admission (but not the sixth form);
  6.  children who are due to transfer who live outside the catchment area and attend a feeder school at the opening date of the admission round;
  7.  children of staff at the school

           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 for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage

8.    children who are due to transfer and 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. If following the application of admission rules and distance two applicants cannot be separated for a final place at a school the authority will use random allocation to determine the priority for the remaining place.
