Summary of policy

Oversubscription criteria

When the number of applications received is greater than the number of remaining places available (after the admission of any pupils with a statement of special educational needs or an EHCP naming the school), the decision on which children will be allocated places will be based on the following oversubscription criteria, which will be applied in the order of priority set out below:

  1.  A “looked after child” is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with
    accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions at the time of
    making an application to a school. 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.
  2. Children whose exceptional medical or social circumstances mean that their needs can only be met at this school.
  3. Children whose parent(s)/guardian(s) is regularly involved in the devotional life of St Anne’s CE Church.
  4. Sibling of a pupil already attending the school at the time the application is made and who will still be in school at the date of admission.
  5. Children who attend the school nursery and who are eligible for Early Years Pupil Premium, the Pupil Premium or the Service Premium.
  6. Children whose parent(s)/guardian(s) is regularly involved in the life and worship of a Christian Church (other than the Parish Church of St Anne’s) which is a member of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland).
  7. Other children.

Tie-breaker

Where there are more applicants for the available places within a category, the distance between the Ordnance Survey address points for the school and the child’s home, measured in a straight line, will be used as the final determining factor, nearer addresses having priority over more distant ones.
