Admissions Criteria

Oversubscription Criteria: Looked after children in the care of a local authority 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. Pupils who live within the catchment area (and in this category with a sibling attending the school) will be given priority. Sibling link (including adoptive siblings, half siblings, step siblings and long term fostered children residing at the same address and who will attend the school). Shortest distance measured as a straight line from home address to the central point of the school using the Local Land and Property Gazetteer and GIS. If the school refuses a place, a waiting list is kept and entries are prioritised according to oversubscription criteria. Parents/carers will be notified of September start following the Easter Holidays and January start in November.
