School admission policy : 2024/25 (Agreed)
THIS SCHOOL WAS OVER-SUBSCRIBED FOR SEPTEMBER 2023
If there are more applications for places than there are places available, the Trust will admit children in the following order of priority:
Looked after children (previously known as children in the care of the local authority) and all previously looked after children. 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 arrangement order or special guardianship order).
Children who have a sibling on roll at the academy at the time of the proposed admission. Siblings are “brothers or sisters living at the same address including adopted children, step-brothers, step-sisters and children in foster care within a family unit.
Children of staff at the academy: a) where the member of staff has been employed at the academy for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the academy is made; and/or b) the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage;
Children who have been offered a place under the musical potential, aptitude and ability criteria.
Children who currently attend Cringleford Primary School, Eaton Primary School, Little Melton Primary School, Hethersett Woodside Primary, Hethersett Primary and Mulbarton Primary.
Children living nearest the academy, by straight line distance (“as the crow flies”).
School admission policy : 2025/26 (Agreed)
THIS SCHOOL WAS OVER-SUBSCRIBED FOR SEPTEMBER 2024
All children whose education,
health and care (EHC) plan name Hethersett Academy will be admitted before any
other places are allocated. If Hethersett Academy is not oversubscribed, all
applicants will be offered a place.
In the event that Hethersett
Academy receives more applications than the number of places it has available,
places will be given to those children who meet any of the criteria set out
below, in order until all places are filled:
1. Highest priority will be given to looked after children and all previously looked after children who apply for a place at Hethersett Academy.
2.
Priority will next be given to children with siblings at Hethersett Academy.
Siblings include step siblings, foster siblings, adopted siblings and other
children living permanently at the same address. Priority will not be given to
children with siblings who are former pupils of Hethersett Academy.
3. Priority will next be given to children of staff at Hethersett Academy, in either of the following circumstances: • The member of staff has been employed at Hethersett Academy for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, or The member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage
4.
Priority will next be given to children who qualify for a musical aptitude
place as set out in section 7.2 above (Up to 10% of PAN i.e., 26 places). For
the avoidance of doubt, where a child has qualified for a music aptitude place,
but they have already been allocated their place under the categories above
(points 1-3), the number of places left within this category will be reduced by
the same number.
5.
Priority will next be given to children who attend named feeder schools. Our
named feeder schools are Cringleford Prep, Cringleford Primary School, Eaton
Primary School, Hethersett Woodside Primary, Hethersett Primary, Little Melton
Primary School and Mulbarton Primary.
6. Priority will next be given
to children living nearest Hethersett Academy, by a straight line distance
