Framingham Earl High School

When there are more applications than places for 2024-25 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 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 in accordance with paragraph 1.7 of the Schools Admission Code 2021.
2. 2Catchment area residents — Children who are due to transfer and live in the catchment area, as defined by the Local Authority.
3. 3Children of staff — Children of members of staff at the School at the opening of the admission round and in accordance with paragraph 1.39 of the School's Admissions Code 2014
4. 4Siblings — Children who are due to transfer and have an older brother or sister attending the School at the time of admission. For the purposes of this criterion, siblings are defined as a brother or sister sharing at least one parent and who is normally resident at the same address. This includes adopted children and those living in the same home under a recognised fostering arrangement.
5. 5Feeder school pupils outside catchment — Children who are due to transfer and live outside the catchment area and attend a feeder school at the opening of the admission round. The feeder schools are those in the Framingham Earl Cluster, as defined by the Local Authority: Brooke V.C Church of England Primary School, Rockland St Mary primary School, Surlingham Community Primary School, Trowse Primary School, Stoke Holy Cross Primary School, Poringland Primary School and Nursery
6. 6All other children by distance — All other children, with the highest priority given the children living nearest the School. Student distance will be measured on a straight line by the Local Authority Schools' Admissions Office.

If two applications tie: If a tie-break is necessary to determine which child is admitted, places will be allocated by random allocation undertaken by the Local Authority. Random allocation will not be applied to multiple birth siblings (twins and triplets etc.) from the same family tied for the final place. We will admit them all and, where necessary, exceed our PAN.

Education, Health and Care Plan or Statement of Special Educational Needs naming the school admitted first before oversubscription criteria applied.

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.
