- When Seahaven Academy has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked After Child “Looked After Child” means any child who is in the care of a Local Authority in accordance with Section 22 (1) of the Children Act 1989. A child who was “previously a Looked After Child” means a child who after being Looked After became subject to an Adoption Order under the Adoption Act 1976 or under Section 46 of the Adoption and Children Act 2002, a Residence Order or Child Arrangement Order under Section 8 of the Children Act 1989 or Special Guardianship Order under Section 14A of the Children Act 1989. Applicants can be asked to provide additional evidence in order to verify the previously looked after status of a child. It is at the discretion of the Academy Trust what evidence is required. The final decision will be made by the Academy Trust. If any information supplied by an applicant is judged by the Academy Trust to be fraudulent or intentionally misleading, the Academy Trust may refuse to offer a place, or if already offered, may withdraw the offer.

Applicants can be asked to provide additional evidence in order to verify the previously looked after status of a child. It is at the discretion of the Academy Trust what evidence is required. The final decision will be made by the Academy Trust. If any information supplied by an applicant is judged by the Academy Trust to be fraudulent or intentionally misleading, the Academy Trust may refuse to offer a place, or if already offered, may withdraw the offer; 2. Specific medical needs, social needs and special needs students (without an EHCP) The specific need which parents may ask to be taken into account must: ▪ relate directly to the student; ▪ be significant to the extent that it will or is likely to have an impact on the ability of the student to access the provision of education. Parents wishing to make an application on the basis of this criterion must demonstrate that the Academy is specifically suited to meet the need described in the application and that no other school can meet this need. Applications made on the basis of this criterion must be accompanied by a report or letter from a relevant and appropriately qualified professional person. Such a person may be a doctor, social worker or educational psychologist. The Academy reserves the right to seek and take into account a second opinion from a suitably qualified professional person, such opinion to be gained at the expense of the Academy. Parent(s) are advised that they should provide full information with their application to enable it to be properly considered. It may not be possible for the Academy to consider late information. For the avoidance of doubt, ‘social need’ does not include a parent’s wish that a child attends the school because of a child’s aptitude or ability or because their friends attend the school. ‘Medical need’ does not include mild medical conditions. Supporting evidence will need to be documented and set out on the Supporting Evidence Form which must be completed and submitted alongside the main application; 3. Home address For the purpose of admissions a child’s normal residence is a residential property that is owned or rented by the child’s parent(s) and where they live together with the child. The home address or normal residence is where a child normally lives. Where a child lives with a parent with shared responsibility for part of a week or month, the address where the child lives will be determined by confirmation of the registered address from which the child in question is registered with a doctor. If this is not applicable, then residence at which the parent with whom the child spends the greater proportion of the school week from Sunday evening to Thursday evening lives will be taken as the home address. For the purpose of admissions, proof of address would need to be from the following list: ▪ Council tax bill. ▪ A rental agreement for a minimum of six school weeks signed and dated by both the tenant and the landlord. ▪ A letter from your Solicitor confirming exchange of contracts on the new property you are purchasing stating the full postal address. Preferably with a completion date. ▪ If you are moving in with a friend or relative we will need a letter from the friend/relative confirming that you are coming to stay with them (mentioning you all by full name) and we will also need to see a recent utility bill for the friend/relative dated within the last three months. ▪ Current Gas or Electricity Bill ▪ Tied/Work Accommodation with letter from employer We will withdraw school places which have been gained using false information or documentation, and 3 further criteria. The school offers 150 places at this entry point.
