Norfolk Schoolfinder

THIS SCHOOL WAS  OVER-SUBSCRIBED FOR SEPTEMBER 2022

If there are more requests for places than places available, the academy 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 area served by the school;

4. children of staff: To qualify for this criterion the member of staff concerned must have been in post at the school for 1 year at the date of application. The only exception to this rule will be where the school can demonstrate a recruitment issue for that post;

5. children who are due to transfer and live outside the area served by the school, who have an older brother or sister attending the school at the time of admission;

6. children who are due to transfer who live outside the area served by the school and attend a feeder school (see below) at the opening date of the admission round;

7. children who are due to transfer and live outside the area served by the school.

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 academy will use random allocation to determine the priority for the remaining place.
