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.
If two applications tie: When choices have to be made between children satisfying the same criteria, those children living nearest to the school (measured by straight line distance) will be given preference. In the event that applicants cannot be separated using the distance tie-breaker (i.e. they live identical distances from the academy), the allocation of a place will be by lot.
The document covers two schools: Outwood Academy Newbold (180 Year 7 places) and Outwood Academy Hasland Hall (168 Year 7 places). PANs are stated per school but the policy is shared. The tie-breaker references criteria '2, 3, 4, 5 or 6' but only 5 criteria are listed; this appears to be an error in the document. EHCP/statement pupils naming the school are admitted before the oversubscription criteria apply.
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.
Same phase, ranked by distance and how closely they match.
