Lutterworth High School

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.

1. 1A 'looked after child' or a child who was previously looked after, including those children who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. A looked after child is a child 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 (see the definition in section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989). Previously looked after children are children who were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order).
2. 2Children of staff directly employed by Lutterworth High School Academy Trust where either or both of the following conditions are met: a. where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, and/or b. the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
3. 3Children who have a brother or sister attending Lutterworth High School living at the same address at the time of application and who will fulfil the criteria at the time of admission, with priority for admission given to those children who live nearest to Lutterworth High School as the crow flies. For these arrangements the term brother or sister includes half brother or sister or legally adopted child being regarded as the brother or sister.
4. 4Children currently attending a catchment feeder primary school, with priority for admission given to those children who live nearest to Lutterworth High School as the crow flies. Catchment feeder schools are: Bitteswell CE Primary School Claybrooke Parva Primary School Dunton Bassett Primary School Gilmorton Chandler CE Primary School Husbands Bosworth CE Primary School Lutterworth Sherrier CE Primary School Lutterworth Wycliffe Primary School North Kilworth St Andrews CE Primary School South Kilworth CE Primary School Swinford CE Primary School Ullesthorpe CE Primary School
5. 5Children who live in Lutterworth High School catchment area, with priority for admission given to those children who live nearest to Lutterworth High School as the crow flies. This catchment area is published on the Lutterworth High School website and a copy is also attached to this document. A larger copy of the catchment area map is available from the school office.
6. 6Exceptional circumstances: Children of UK service personnel who are to be posted within the attached catchment area map will be given priority, subject to receipt by the Admission Authority of an official letter that declares a relocation date and unit posting address. If, when you apply, your child has a disability or a serious or life-threatening medical condition and you feel he or she must go to Lutterworth High School and, where these needs can only be met at this school, you must put this on the application form. We will only consider this if you upload or send in medical evidence from a consultant doctor. Please note: a letter from your GP will not normally be sufficient evidence. The Admission Committee will consider all such applications. We may then take expert medical advice if we consider it necessary. We only agree to a priority placement if the evidence is clear at the outset or if medical advisors consider that it is essential for your child to attend this school. If there are sensitive family circumstances, such as a significant family disability or involvement of support services (for example, Social Services), we may also consider these when you apply. Again, you must provide documented evidence or reports as appropriate. It is important that any exceptional circumstances, as described before, are shown on the application form when you upload or send in supporting evidence. If you do not do this, we cannot consider offering your child a priority placement. It is your responsibility to provide the necessary evidence at the point of application. The Admission Committee will not under any circumstances contact any agency or person to confirm or clarify any issue that you raise.
7. 7Other children, with priority for admission given to children who live nearest to Lutterworth High School as the crow flies. Education out of year group Whilst there is no statutory barrier to children being admitted to school outside of their chronological year group, there is no duty to agree to such a request. In each case it is for Lutterworth High School Academy Trust to make the decision based on the circumstances of the case and what is in the best interests of the child. Parents should discuss the matter with the school prior to making such a request. Parents must provide supporting evidence alongside their application, which clearly highlights why the admission would be in the best interests of the child. It will be for the Governors to determine whether (subject to places being available) to accept the child out of year group or offer a place in the chronological age group. Parents have the
