Admissions Yr 7

Admissions criteria, number 4 applies. She is at number 1 on waiting list for this category. My sons yr 10 and 12 plus 2 nephews all attend same school, all outside catchment, walk from my home in morning and after school it takes 7 mins. The school offered is 4.4 miles by public transport not school bus route. Taking into consideration my daughter is very vulnerable and believes anyone that offers a smile is a friend and nice person public transport would not be an option.

1. Children in public care who are ‘looked after’ at the time an application for admission is made or who the local authority can confirm has been looked after but has ceased to be so because they are adopted, or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order immediately following having been looked after.
2. Children who live in the catchment area on the closing date for applications and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school in years 7-11.

Distance measurements to be made ‘as the crow flies’ from the home address to the main reception office of the school and will be taken in a straight line form the entrance to the child’s home (as defined by the Local Authority) to the principle entrance to the main administrative building of the school. This will be calculated by using ‘Micro-soft Auto route’ computer software. In the event of
event of oversubscription in any of the above criteria proximity to the school will be used with those needing to discriminate between pupils living in the same block of flats where it produces the same distance measurement, the lowest numbered flat(s) will be treated as the closest.
