Oversubscription Criteria
In accordance with the 1996 Education Act the allocation of school places for children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs or an Education, Health and Care Plan will take place first. Remaining places will be allocated in accordance with the policy.
The oversubscription criteria are listed in the order we apply them. Words marked with a number, for example 1, 2 and 3 are explained separately in the definition and notes section of our Whole School Admissions Policy available on the School website. This policy also has information on appeals, fraudulent or misleading applications, children of UK service personnel and admission of children outside their normal age group.
If there are more applicants than places available then applicants will be offered places in the following order:
* The child is in the care of the local authority or had previously been in care (1).
* The grade achieved in the relevant subject or subjects, or for those subjects not available at GCSE, a relevant subject specified in the School's sixth form brochure. The applicant with the higher grade will have priority.
* The average points score achieved across all GCSE subjects taken by the applicant. The applicant with the higher score will have priority.
* Driving distance (2) from home to school, with the applicant living nearer to the school having priority. This would be the tie-breaker if necessary; in the event of a tie on distance the school can offer extra place(s).
The Headmistress will consider all applications carefully and reserves the right to apply professional judgement to individual cases where students may fall short of a subject specific entry requirement.
