2023 and 2024 oversubscription criteria

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.

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

 All students will be admitted without bias.

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.

Sixth form oversubscription criteria
  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.
Should the number of applicants exceed the number of places available, then places will be offered to those applicants whose place of permanent residence is nearest to the school. This will be by straight line distance from the post office address point of the home to the post office address point of the school.
 
If distance is not sufficient to distinguish between applicants for the last place then a lottery will be
conducted.
