Admissions Criteria

Admission priority order: 1) A ‘Child in Care’ or who was ‘previously a Child in Care’ (see footnote 1); 2) Children with exceptional medical or social need and where there is a need for a place at one specific school (see footnote 2); 3) Children living within the school’s catchment area who will have a sibling attending the school at the time of admission (see footnote 3); 4) Children living within the catchment area who are attending the preferred school’s recognised maintained feeder school during the previous year and are on that school’s roll at the time of application (see footnote 4); 5) Children living within the school’s catchment area; 6) Children living outside of the school’s catchment area who will have a sibling attending the school at the time of admission (see footnote 3.5); 7) Children living outside the school’s catchment area who are attending one of the preferred school’s recognised maintained feeder schools during the previous year at the time of application (see footnote 5); 8) Children living outside the school’s catchment area and whose parents wish them to attend a CE Voluntary Controlled school on denominational grounds (see footnote 6); 9) Children of staff with at least two years continuous service at the school or who have been recruited to a vacancy to meet a demonstrable skills shortage as at the date of application (in year) or relevant closing date under the LA co-ordinated scheme (normal year of entry) and who still intend to be employed at the school at the time of the child’s admission (see footnotes 7 & 8); 10) All other children living outside the school’s catchment area. If oversubscribed within any of the priority order categories above, places will be allocated on the basis of the shortest straight line measurement using a geographical information based system which identified an Easting and Northing for the home address and the school and calculates the distance between the two locations. NB. School transport is based on walking and driven distances. In the event that the LA is unable to distinguish between applications despite applying the priority categories above, lots will be drawn by an independent (of the LA) person to determine the final place(s). Where applications are received from families with multiple birth siblings and by adhering to PAN these siblings could not be offered the same school, the admission number will be exceeded to accommodate the multiple birth siblings. This is not an indication that schools can exceed the admission number other than under these exceptional circumstances.
