Document refers to 'the Academy' without giving its proper name; also references Birmingham LA distance rules and TEFAT trust, suggesting possible template inconsistency. EHCP-named children are admitted before oversubscription criteria are applied, per statutory duty (not ranked). Infant class size legislation applies (max 30 per teacher); multiple birth exception allowed. Service Personnel applications considered under clause 3 with distance calculated to posting address. CATCHMENT: Children living nearest the Academy within the catchment area. Priority is given to those who live nearest to the school, measured in a straight line from the child’s home address to a designated point on the school premises. 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. The policy text refers to the school only generically (as "The Academy"); it was identified from the document's own published title, "Kings Norton Primary School Determined Admissions Policy 2027/28".

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.
