The Governing Body is the Admission Authority in this voluntary aided school and is, therefore, responsible for all admissions. The Governing Body will admit up to 60 pupils into each year group. The governors will admit all children with an Educational Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names the school.

Late Applications

The Governing Body will deal with late applications after all the ‘on time’ applications have been processed. Those refused a place due to the school having admitted up to the Published Admission Number (60) will be advised of their right to appeal.

When there are more applications than there are places available, the governors will admit pupils according to the following criteria which are listed in order of priority.
