Children with siblings at the academy are guaranteed a place, followed by other children based on distance between their home and the academy. There is no selection by either ability or aptitude. The only students who would merit absolute priority are children in public care (looked after children), those with a Statement of Special Educational Needs naming Stockport Academy, and children for whom it is essential they be admitted because of special medical or social circumstances.
