How places are decided at Monkseaton Coastal School
Priority order when there are more applications than places, 2027-28 (Year 5):
- 1Looked after and previously looked after children — Looked after children in a local authority's care, and children previously looked after who, straight after being looked after, became subject to an adoption, residence or special guardianship order; this includes children the admission authority judges were in state care outside England and left it through adoption. See note 1 below.
- 2Residence in the school's catchment area — Pupils living within the catchment area of the school, with priority in this group for pupils who have a sibling link (an older brother or sister) attending the school in September 2027. Pupils planning to return to years 12 and 13 (the sixth form) of a school do not get the sibling link.
- 3Sibling link — Pupils with a sibling link (an older brother or sister), counting adoptive, half and step siblings and long-term fostered children living at the same address, who will be attending the school in September 2027. Pupils planning to return to years 12 and 13 (the sixth form) of a school do not get the sibling link.

- 4Distance from the school — Remaining places go to pupils with the shortest distance, measured as a straight line from one fixed point of the home address (flats included) to one fixed point linked to the school, using the Local Land and Property Gazetteer and the Council's Geographical Information System (GIS). N.B The above distance measurement will also be used as a ‘tiebreaker’
Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan naming the school are admitted first under the Education Act 1996; the criteria above then decide oversubscription. The distance measurement is also the tie-breaker within each criterion; where two flats measure the same the lower flat number is offered the place, and in all other ties the place is decided by random allocation. North Tyneside Council states that every community and Learning Trust school has a defined geographic catchment area. Transcribed verbatim from the determined Learning Trust Schools and Academy Trust Middle and High Schools Admission Policy September 2027, the trust-wide policy that names this school in its own published admission number schedule.
Published by the admission authority. A criterion sets the order places are offered in and never guarantees a place.
