How are Year 7 places decided at Claremont High School?

When Claremont High School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked After Children / previously looked after — Looked After Children or children in public care including children who were in care but have since been adopted or become subject to a residence order or special guardianship order; 2. Exceptional medical/social/SEN circumstances — Children for whom it is essential to be admitted to Claremont High School Academy because of special circumstances to do with significant medical needs, social needs or special educational needs. The recommendation must be received in writing from a consultant at an NHS hospital or equivalent. This criterion relates to the child’s medical, social and special needs and does not include any other member of the child’s family. The supporting evidence should set out the particular reasons Claremont High School Academy is the most suitable school and difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend another school; 3. Siblings — Those who have a brother(s) and/or sister(s) (including half or stepbrother(s) and sister(s) if residing at the same address) attending Claremont High School Academy at the time of application and on the date of admission. This excludes a brother(s) or a sister(s) of those students who join the academy in Year 12 or Year 13, and 4 further criteria. The school offers 270 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Within each criterion, priority will be given to the applicant who lives closer to the academy. This will be measured in a straight line from the front door of a pupil's permanent address to the academy reception. A random allocator will be used to determine the offer of a place where two or more children are deemed to live the same distance from the academy reception. For the Music Assessment specifically, a tie will be resolved by a musical character interview with the Music Department, with tie break students ranked based on this interview.
