Admission criteria
When the school is oversubscribed, after the admission of
pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plans where the school is
named in the Plan, priority for admission will be given to those
children who meet the criteria set out below.
For admissions at point of transfer from Infant to Junior
School, pupils attending the linked Norwood Green Infant School
will be given priority after Looked After and Previously Looked
After pupils. Any places remaining after this will be allocated to
other external applicants in accordance with the oversubscription
criteria set out below in the following order of
priority:
1. Looked After and Previously Looked after Children (as
defined in the Children Act 1989) or a child who was previously
looked after and has left care under a Child Arrangements Order,
Special Guardianship Order or who was adopted.
2. Linked Infant School – children attending their linked
infant school have priority for admission to the linked junior
school after looked after or previously looked after
children.
3. Exceptional Medical or Social Need – Applicants whose
child’s medical or social circumstances require attendance at a
particular school rather than any other school.
4. Sibling – Children who will have a brother or sister,
including all blood half-, step-, adoptive and foster brother and
sisters of the child (not cousins) who live at the same home as the
child, in the linked junior school in September 2021. This would
not apply if the sibling were due to leave in the July before the
younger child would be admitted.
5. Children of Staff – Children of any member of staff,
regardless of role in the school where
a. the member of staff has been employed at the school for
two or more years at the time of application or
b. the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for
which there is a demonstrable skill shortage
6. Distance – Where there are more applications that meet
this criterion than there are places in the school, priority will
be given to those children who live nearest to the school, with the
distance from home to school being measured using a computerised
mapping system.
For in-year admissions at any other point in Years 3 - 6, all
applicants will be considered in accordance with the priority order
set out above.
