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. Looked After Children and 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.
  2. There is a brother or sister on roll at the time of application.
  3. Children of a member of staff provided that they have been employed at the academy for a minimum of two years at the time of application or are recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skills shortage.
  4. The Deepings School is the nearest non-selective school to the child's home address, measured by straight line distance.
  5. Straight line distance from the home to the school, priority given to those living closest.

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

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