Lincoln The Priory City of Lincoln Academy

The Priory City of Lincoln Academy will admit up to 15 pupils into Year 7 on the basis of their aptitude for sport. If you wish to apply on the basis of aptitude, please contact the Academy for further information.

The Trust will allocate the remaining places to other applicants, including those who were unsuccessful in their application through aptitude assessment

Where the number of applications for admission is greater than the published admission number, applications for the places not based on aptitude will be considered by the Trust against the criteria set out below.

1. Looked after or previously looked after children.
2. Applicants who achieve the minimum standards needed for admission on the basis of aptitude for sport.
   
   In the event that more than 15 applicants achieve the minimum standard, the 15 places will be offered to the applicants with the highest scores in the assessment. Any remaining applicants will then be considered along with other applicants using the criteria below. In the event that fewer than 15 applicants achieve the minimum standard, they will all be admitted and the remaining places will then be made available to other applicants using the criteria below.
    
3. Siblings of pupils who are on the roll of the Academy at the time of the application.
4. Children of a member of staff of the academy who has been employed at the academy for two or more years at the time of the application.
   
   In the event of more applicants than places under criteria 3 and 4 above, children living nearest to the school have priority, using criterion 5.
    
5. Children who live nearest to the Academy measured by straight line distance from the Academy’s main entrance to the post office address point of the child’s home.

In the event that two or more applicants live the same straight-line distance from the school, the place or places will be allocated at random by an independent person.

Children of staff recruited after 1st March in the year of admission to fill a post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage may be considered as exceptional admissions.

You should contact the school for details on how to apply for a place on aptitude. If you are unsuccessful in your application you need to apply to the Academy for your child’s name to be added to their reserve list.

See the school’s full admissions policy for more information.

The Priory City of Lincoln Academy offers a range of sixth form courses at Level 3 (for example A Level and BTEC) and some at Level 2 (for example City and Guilds and IMI).

For Level 3 A level courses we normally expect students to have achieved at least a grade 4 in both English and Mathematics.

For Level 3 vocational courses we normally expect students to have achieved grades from their best English and their mathematics that ‘total’ 7. For example a grade 4 in English and a grade 3 in mathematics would meet this requirement. In addition, each course has subject- specific GCSE requirements which we expect students to meet. There are no minimum grade requirements for Level 2 vocational courses.

We discuss with each applicant the best match of course to their subject background. Further information for individual subjects can be found in the academy’s sixth form prospectus.

Dates for applications for entry to Year 12, and acceptances and refusals, will be published in the Academy’s sixth form prospectus. Applications are made directly to the Academy.
