Where the number of applications is more than the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied in the order set out below, to decide which children to admit.

1. The child is, or has been in the past, in the care of the Local Authority, 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.
2. The child is registered for Pupil Premium defined as those registered for Free School Meals at any point in the previous six years (not including Key Stage 1 statutory Free School Meals).
3. Students who, at the time of admission, have siblings at one of the schools within the Robert Carre Trust.
4. Straight line distance from home to the Academy, priority will be given to the child living closest to the Academy.

If distance is not sufficient to distinguish between applicants for the last place then a lottery will be conducted.

There are entrance exams for admission into a grammar school. Details about the testing arrangements can be obtained from the school or via the admissions pages on the website.

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.

All offers of a place in Year 12 will be made on condition of students meeting the Trust entry requirements laid out below.

We offer two pathways in the Sixth Form:

The minimum requirements for students who wish to study A Levels are 5 GCSEs full course at grade 5+ and at least grade 4 in Mathematics and grade 4 in English Language or Literature. In addition students must meet the specific individual entry requirement for each subject they wish to study. Full details are in the SJSF prospectus and as published on the website in the Autumn Term.

The minimum entry requirements for students who wish to study BTEC or CTEC qualifications or a mix of BTEC and CTEC qualifications and Applied A Levels is the equivalent of at least 5 subjects at grade 4+, including English Language or Literature grade 4+. In addition students must meet the minimum entry requirements specified by the subject of their choice, as published in the SJSF prospectus and on the website in the Autumn Term.

Students will only be admitted to the Sixth Form if their courses can be efficiently and effectively provided. The governors need to consider the use of rooms, the curriculum, budget and staffing when considering the number and types of courses that can be offered.

Where students applying to the Sixth Form at The Robert Carre Trust do not have GCSEs their other formal equivalent qualifications will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Student qualifications will be considered along with other information provided by the student’s current school, in an attempt to make a fair assessment of the application.

1. Looked After children or previously Looked After children.
2. A child who has been registered for Pupil Premium (those registered for Free School Meals at any point in the previous six years) who has met the entrance requirements.
3. Students who, at the time of admission, have siblings at either school within The Robert Carre Trust.
