If you live in the catchment area you are guaranteed a place at the school, if you do not live within the catchment area you may still have a claim, if you fulfil one of the criteria below.
This is a map of the catchment area.
*
Places will be allocated on the following criteria:
First priority - to 'looked after' children - (children who are in the care of a local authority or provided with accommodation by that authority).
Second priority - to pupils who live within the school's catchment area.
Third priority - to pupils considered by the LA to have exceptional social or medical needs which relate to the preferred school. (The LA may consult with other medical/educational professionals for a further opinion as to whether a child should be allocated to an individual school).
Fourth priority - to pupils with siblings at the school in September of the academic year they seek admittance ('siblings' are defined as brothers or sisters living in the same house, as their primary place of residence, including half and step brothers or sisters).
Fifth priority - to pupils with the nearest available safe walking route.
If a pupil is in the position of potentially being offered a place at more than one school, the single offer will be made for the school the parent/carer ranked the highest.
