How places are decided at Waverley Academy

When there are more applications than places for 2025-26 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked After Children and previously looked after children — Looked After Children and children who were previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to adoption, a child arrangements order, or special guardianship order.
2Catchment Area — Children who normally reside with a parent or person with parental responsibility in the defined catchment area.
3Siblings — Children who normally reside with a parent or person with parental responsibility in the defined catchment area and who will have a brother or sister (including step or half brother or sister) at the preferred school on the proposed date of admission.
4Children of staff in skills shortage posts — Children of staff at the school recruited to fill a skill shortage post – this will be subject to confirmation by the Astrea Executive Board that, on the evidence available, the post does indeed relate to a skills shortage in the area.
5Distance — Children living nearest the school; the distance to be measured by a straight line between the centre point of the child’s ordinary place of residence and the main entrance to the school building.

If two applications tie: Where the offer of the last place in the relevant year group could be made to the parent of eligible multiple siblings, resident at the same address, we will exceed our admission number in order to offer sufficient places for the family. Where the offer of the last place in the relevant year group could be made for a number of eligible children resident equi-distant from the school the determination of the single offer will be by Random Allocation.

Admission of children with an EHCP or Statement naming the school takes priority before these numbered criteria, as stated in the document but not itself numbered.
