2023 and 2024 oversubscription criteria
  1. Looked after children and all previously looked after children, including those 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 if they have reached the required standard for entry.
  2. Eligible children with a sibling at the academy who will still be attending when the child is due to start.
  3. Eligible children whose permanent address is within the school’s designated area for free transport with priority being given to the order of distance with those living closest having priority.
  4. Eligible children from all other areas with priority being given to the order of distance with those living closest having priority.

If two or more children are tied for the last place, the child scoring the highest will receive priority. If it is still not possible to distinguish between the applicants a lottery will be drawn by an independent person, not employed by the school or working in Children's Service Directorate at the local authority.

There are entrance exams for admission into a grammar school. Details about the testing arrangements can be obtained from the school.

This is a grammar school and applicants must meet the required standard in the admissions exam to be allocated a place. See the school’s full admissions policy for more information.

Sixth form entry requirements

Students may be interviewed to discuss options of study and academic entry requirements for particular courses but this is not part of the formal decision making process. The entry requirements are outlined on the school website. The entry requirements are applicable to both students joining the school from another school and those who are currently on our roll. Please see our Sixth Form prospectus for individual subject requirements.

Sixth form oversubscription criteria
The School will admit eligible students who have an education, health and care plan that names the School.
 
In the case of oversubscription from students from other schools who have achieved the required GCSE grades, students will be ranked according to their GCSE points score. In the event of a number of students having exactly the same score then the governors will apply a tie-breaker based on the straight line distance (measured electronically by the LA between the post office address point of the home and the post office address point of the school), with the student living closest to the school being given priority
