Summary of policy
This is a community school. Please see the full admission details on our website - admissions criteria for community and voluntary controlled primary schools.
To apply for a place at this school, please apply online.
- Looked after children and those who have been previously looked after, including those legally adopted from overseas, then
- Children for whom the Local Authority accepts that there are exceptional medical social or welfare reasons which are directly relevant to the school concerned below, then
- Children with older brothers and sisters attending the school when the younger child will start, then
- Remaining places are allocated according to where a child lives. Those living nearest to the preferred school by a straight line (radial) measure will have priority, below.
The distance criterion will be used as the tie breaker if there is oversubscription within any of the admission criteria; it is a straight line (radial) measure.
If the Local Authority is unable to distinguish between applicants using the published criteria (eg. Siblings, those living the same distance from home to school, or families residing in the same block of flats) places will be offered via a random draw.
The distance measure is a straight line measurement (radial) between the applicant’s home address points and the address point of the school (co-ordinates provided by ordnance survey data).
