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.
- 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.
- There is a sibling at the academy who will still be attending when the child is due to start.
- Children of all staff groups, where the member of staff has been employed at King Edward VI Academy on a permanent contract for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to King Edward VI Academy is made or where the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post at King Edward VI Academy for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
- Straight line distance from the child’s home address to the academy, priority given to those living nearest.
If distance is not sufficient to distinguish between applicants for the last place then a lottery will be conducted.
