ADMISSION POLICY
All Admission arrangements are agreed by the Local Authority, via Admissions Services,
Westox House, Dudley.
The following criteria will be used to allocate the available places if more applications are
received than available places.
All pupils will be admitted at one point of entry in September.
All preferences will be assessed against the following priorities regardless of ranking.

1. First priority for admission shall be given to “relevant looked after
children”.

2. Second priority for admission shall be given to children with a “serious
and ongoing medical condition” where the preferred community or
voluntary controlled school is the most appropriate school to meet the
children.

3. Third priority for admission shall be given to children who have
brother/sister, half-brother/sister (where the children share one common
parent), or step-brother/step-sister, living at the same address and who
will be attending the preferred school in the same academic year.

4. Any places that remain available once the above applicants have been
admitted, will be filled according to those children who live closest to the
school, determined by a straight-line measurement in metres, from the
home address to the main entrance of the preferred school.

Any prospective parents who wish to visit the school should contact the School Office and
an appointment will be made. You will be warmly welcomed!
