Oversubscription criteria

Oversubscription criteria:

  • all ‘looked after’ children or children that were previously ‘looked after’, including children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted (see definition below)
  • children of staff
  • children with siblings at the school
  • children for whom the school is their nearest lower/primary school*
  • any other children

Definition of 'children who appear to have been in state care outside of England'

Children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.

A child is regarded as having been in state care in a place outside of England if they were accommodated by a public authority, a religious organisation or any other provider of care whose sole purpose if to benefit society.

Definition of 'nearest lower/primary school'

The nearest school will be identified by measuring the distance the pupil lives from the school which is measured in a straight line, using our computerised measuring system, from the address point of the pupil’s home to a point on the school site agreed with the governing body of the school, which is known as the designated measuring point. In the unlikely event that a pupil lives equidistant to the nearest two schools then the nearest school will be random selection, using the admissions database to allocate the place.
