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!
