How are Year 7 places decided at Kings Norton Girls' School?

When Kings Norton Girls' School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after and previously looked after children — A 'looked after child' or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order (90) including those who appear [to the admission authority] to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. A looked after child is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989); 2. Siblings — Siblings: Children with an older sibling already at the school who will still be in attendance at the time at which the application to the school is made. Siblings are considered to be those children who live at the same address and either: (i) have one or both natural parents in common; or (ii) are related by a parent’s marriage; or (iii) are adopted or fostered by a common parent. Unrelated children living at the same address, whose parents are living as partners, are also considered to be siblings. Children not adopted or fostered or related by parent’s marriage or with one natural parent in common, who are brought together as a family by a civil partnership and who are living at the same address, are also considered to be siblings; 3. Children of staff — Children of staff at the school where:- a) the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made or b) the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable shortage, and 1 further criteria. The school offers 160 places at this entry point. Tie-break: In a very small number of cases it may not be possible to decide between the applications of those pupils who are the final qualifiers for a place, when applying the published admission criteria. For example, this may occur when children in the same year group live at the same address, or if the distance between the home and academy is exactly the same, for example, blocks of flats. If there is no other way of separating the application according to the admissions criteria and to admit both or all of the children would cause the Published Admission Number for the child’s year group to be exceeded, the Local Authority will use a computerised system to randomly select the child to be offered the final place.

How places are decided at Kings Norton Girls' School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked after and previously looked after children — A 'looked after child' or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order (90) including those who appear [to the admission authority] to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. A looked after child is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989).
2Siblings — Siblings: Children with an older sibling already at the school who will still be in attendance at the time at which the application to the school is made. Siblings are considered to be those children who live at the same address and either: (i) have one or both natural parents in common; or (ii) are related by a parent’s marriage; or (iii) are adopted or fostered by a common parent. Unrelated children living at the same address, whose parents are living as partners, are also considered to be siblings. Children not adopted or fostered or related by parent’s marriage or with one natural parent in common, who are brought together as a family by a civil partnership and who are living at the same address, are also considered to be siblings.
3Children of staff — Children of staff at the school where:- a) the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made or b) the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable shortage.
4Distance — Distance: Children who live nearest to the school. Measured as a straight-line between the applicant’s home address and the front main reception entrance to the school. The Local Authority use a computerised system, which measures all distance in metres. Ordnance Survey supply the co-ordinates that are used to plot an applicant’s home address within the system.

If two applications tie: In a very small number of cases it may not be possible to decide between the applications of those pupils who are the final qualifiers for a place, when applying the published admission criteria. For example, this may occur when children in the same year group live at the same address, or if the distance between the home and academy is exactly the same, for example, blocks of flats. If there is no other way of separating the application according to the admissions criteria and to admit both or all of the children would cause the Published Admission Number for the child’s year group to be exceeded, the Local Authority will use a computerised system to randomly select the child to be offered the final place.

Any child with a statement/EHCP of special educational needs is required to be admitted to the school named in the statement/plan; this is not an oversubscription criterion and sits above the ranked criteria. Document appears to mix references to 2026 and 2027 entry (PAN stated for 'year commencing 1st September 2027'; appeals references mention 2026 entry), so cohort year is taken from the explicit PAN statement. Transcribed from the school's own determined admission arrangements as published by Birmingham City Council. Children with an EHCP naming the school are admitted first; that is a statutory duty, not an oversubscription criterion.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
