Wollaston 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. 1Looked after children and all previously looked after children
2. 2Children who attend Bozeat Community Primary School, Cogenhoe Primary School and Irchester Community Primary School (schools of the Nene Valley Partnership)
3. 3Children who live in the designated villages: Bozeat, Brafield-on-the-Green, Castle Ashby, Chadstone, Cogenhoe, Denton, Easton Maudit, Great Houghton, Grendon, Irchester, Little Houghton, Strixton, Whiston, Wollaston, Yardley Hastings
4. 4Children who will have a sibling continuing at Wollaston School at the time of admission of the child.
5. 5Children attending Wollaston School’s designated contributory Primary Schools in the year of application and continuing in attendance until the formal offer of places is made: Denton Primary School, Grendon CE Primary School, Little Houghton CEVA Primary School, Wollaston Primary School, Yardley Hastings Primary School
6. 6Children of staff at the school, in either or both of the following circumstances: 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 skills shortage
7. 7Children who live in Wellingborough and the designated surrounding villages and contributory parishes, i.e. Earls Barton, Ecton, Finedon Sidings (Furnace Lane), Great Doddington, Great Harrowden, Hardwick, Little Harrowden, Little Irchester, Mears Ashby, Orlingbury and Wilby
8. 8Other children If the admission number is exceeded within any criterion, priority will be given to those who live closest to the school. Distances are measured on a straight-line basis using a Geographical Information system. Tie-break In the event that two applications cannot otherwise be separated, random allocation will be used to decide who the place should be offered to.

Places will be allocated to pupils who have an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan that names the school as appropriate provision. If the school is not oversubscribed, all applicants will be offered a place.
