Summary of policy
This is a foundation school – please contact the school for full admission details. To apply for a place at this school, please apply online and use the supplementary information form available from the school.
If applications for admissions exceed the number of places available, the governors have agreed the following criteria, in the order set out below, to decide which children should be admitted:
- Looked after children or a child who was previously looked after, but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangement order, or special guardianship order or those children who appear to the school to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
- Children for whom the Governors accepts that there are exceptional medical, social or welfare reasons which are directly relevant to the school concerned.
- Children whose parents are employed by the school, where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two years or more at the time when the application for admission is made or where he/she has been recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
- Children with older brothers or sisters attending the school when the younger child will start.
- Children living within the school's geographical priority area.
- Children living outside the school's geographical priority area.
The distance criterion which will be used as the tie breaker if there is oversubscription within any of the admission criteria is a straight line (radial) measure centre of building to centre of building. If the Local Authority is unable to distinguish between applicants using the published criteria (eg twins or same block of flats) places will be offered via a random draw.
