- How are Year 7 places decided at Weavers Academy?
- When Weavers Academy has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after children and all previously looked after children; 2. Children for whom Weavers Academy is the only school that is appropriate for the child to attend because of the child’s medical needs, or because of a serious and ongoing medical condition of one or both of their parents which would prevent the parents being able to make arrangements to take their child to and from any other school. To be considered under this criterion, parents must complete a Supplementary Information Form (SIF), Part A of which must be completed by the parents before being provided to the child’s or parent’s GP or hospital consultant who must then complete Part B, sign and date the form. The GP or hospital consultant must expressly confirm, not only the nature of the medical condition of the child or the parent, but also the reason why it is appropriate for the child to attend the academy, why no other school is suitable and the medical reasons why this is the case. The completed, signed and stamped SIF must be returned directly to the school before deadline of 5pm on 31 October 2026. This SIF does not replace the Local Authority application requirements. A decision on whether to admit a child under this criterion will be made by the Admissions Panel of Weavers Academy, who will take care to apply a consistent approach to all applications received. Where an application is not successful under this criterion, the application will be considered under the next highest criterion into which it falls and will be considered along with all of the other applications falling within that criterion. The SIF is available on the school website; 3. Children who have a sibling at the academy who is expected to be on roll at the time of the child’s intended admission. Sibling is defined in these arrangements as children who live as brother and sister in the same house, including natural brothers and sisters, adopted siblings, stepbrothers or sisters and foster brothers and sisters, and 2 further criteria. Tie-break: Where there are two or more applications that cannot otherwise be separated, a randomiser will be.
