Transcribed verbatim from Connect Multi-Academy Trust's single admissions policy, which applies to every academy in the trust. A child with an Education, Health and Care Plan naming the academy must be admitted; that is not an oversubscription criterion. The trust's robots.txt disallows /docs/ and *.pdf, so the document was read through the browser from the trust's own origin rather than by crawler.

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.
