Admissions Consultation

As a school we are consulting on our Admissions Criteria for 2026-2027 to include children of staff members under siblings. We are consulting so that our criteria would be:

1.) 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, then

2.) 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

3.) Children eligible for Services Premium, then

4.) Children with older brothers and sisters attending the school when the younger child will start, then

5.) Children whose parents are employed by the school, where the member of staff has been employed at the school for 2 years or more at the time when the application for admission is made, then

6.) 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).
