Summary of policy
This is an academy – please contact the academy 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 there are more applicants than places available, after students with an Education Healthcare Plan naming the Carr Hill School, places will be offered in the following order:
- Looked after children or child who was previously looked after, but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangement order, or special guardianship 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 with a sibling on roll or previously on roll at Carr Hill High School.
- Children living closest to the school. All distances will be calculated using a radial measurement. It should be noted that distance will be defined from a start point plotted within the centre of the property at which the applicant lives to the centre of Carr Hill High School. (co-ordinates provided by ordnance survey data)
Where there are more applicants from the available places within the categories (1)-(3), then the distance criteria will be used as the final determining factor, nearer addresses having priority over more distant ones. If oversubscription occurs in distance, and home distance is equal, rank order will be determined by Carr Hill High School using a random draw. The process will be independently verified. Where this applies to twins or other multiple births, the school will consider if it can accommodate the additional child(ren) on a case-by-case basis.
