Policy and Oversubscription Criteria
School Admissions Policy 2026-2027
In the event that the school receives more applications than the number of places it has available, places will be given to those children who meet any of the criteria set out below, in order, until all places are filled.
1. Children in the care of, or housed by, a local authority and children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order);
2. Children living in the priority area who will have a sibling at the school at the time of admission;
3. Other students living in the priority area;
4. Children living outside the priority area who will have a sibling at the school at the time of admission;
5. Other children living outside the priority area.
Please note:
a) Children with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan that names a school will be admitted first. In this event the number of places that remain for allocation will be reduced.
b) Time of admission relates to the time the applicant would start at the school – not the time of application or offer.
