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.
When the School is oversubscribed the following priorities apply in order:
- Looked after and previously looked after children. This criteria also includes looked after children and all previously looked after children who appear (to the admission authority) 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 Governing Body accepts that there are exceptional medical, social or welfare reasons which are directly relevant to the school, then
- Children living within the school's geographical priority area with older brothers or sisters attending the school when the younger child will start.
- Children living within the school's geographical priority area, then
- Children living outside the school's geographical priority area with older brothers or sisters still attending the school when the younger child will start, then
- Children living outside the school's geographical priority area below.
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. If the Governing Body 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. The distance measure is a straight line (radial) measure centre of building to centre of building.
