1Children in public care — Children in public care – looked after children and children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order).
2Aptitude for Performing and Visual Arts — Students who can demonstrate an aptitude for Performing and Visual Arts (as set out above).
3Siblings — Students who have brothers or sisters (siblings*) attending the school (including 6th form) who are on the roll of the school at the time applications are made. *Sibling details: A sibling is a child who has one or more parents in common, or any other child (including an adopted child) who permanently lives at the same address and for whom the parent also has parental responsibility as defined in the Children Act 1989, Part 1 Section 3.

Up to 10% of the 252 intake may be admitted via aptitude for Performing and Visual Arts (Music, Drama, Dance). Criteria numbering as printed jumps from an introductory reference to '5. Children living nearest...' followed later by the full ordered list numbered 1–4 plus this distance criterion, reconstructed here in the document's stated priority order (public care, aptitude, siblings, staff, distance).

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.
