Looked after and previously looked after children — A ‘looked after child’ is one 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, in England. A ‘previously looked after child’ is one who was looked after in England, but ceased to be so because they were adopted, or became subject to a child arrangements or special guardianship order, as well as a child who appears to the Admission Committee to have been in state care outside of England, but ceased to be so as a result of being adopted; 2. Children of staff members employed at Harris Academy Beulah Hill — For inclusion in this category, the staff member must be permanently based at Harris Academy Beulah Hill for more than 50% of their normal working hours each week during term time, and have been employed for at least two years at the time of application, and/or recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage, as confirmed by their HR Manager; 3.

Distance depends on the band here

Harris Academy Beulah Hill admits by banding: applicants are placed into bands and each band is filled separately, so there is no single last-offer distance. Each band has its own, and which one applies depends on your child's assessment — so one number could not answer this for every child.

How the bands work: The Academy uses 'banding' in the allocation of places in Year 7 in the normal admission round in September. All children take a non-verbal reasoning test standardised against the national distribution of abilities, are placed in rank order, and allocated to one of nine bands ranging from highest to lowest ability, with the number of places per band determined by national percentages applied to the PAN. Once children are placed in their band, places are allocated within each band using the oversubscription criteria and tie breaker.

Your local authority’s admissions booklet publishes the cut-off for each band. The full ranked criteria are on the Admissions tab.
