How places are decided at Filey Academy

When there are more applications than places for 2026-27 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked after and previously looked after children — Children in public care or fostered under an arrangement made by a local authority or children previously looked after by a Local Authority.
2Special educational, exceptional medical, social or mobility needs — Pupils without an EHC plan but who have Special Educational Needs, or with exceptional medical, social or mobility needs, that can only be met at the Academy.
3Catchment priority area (nearest first) — Children who live within the catchment priority area, with priority given to applicants living closest to the Academy.
4Children or step-children of staff — Children or step-children of members of staff employed directly Delta Academies Trust, who work at the Academy on a part or full time basis where either or both of the following circumstances apply:- a) the member of staff has been employed for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the Academy is made; and / or b) the member of staff has been recruited to fill a vacant post at the Academy, for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
5Outside catchment priority area (nearest first) — Priority will be given to children living outside the catchment priority area with priority given to applicants living closest to the Academy.

If two applications tie: If there are not enough places for all the children in one of these priority groups, priority will be given to children with siblings who are on roll at the Academy in the academic year 2025-26, and then to those living nearest the Academy. If the distance tie-break is not sufficient to distinguish between applicants in a particular priority group, then a random allocation will be used.

Children with an EHCP naming the Academy are admitted outside oversubscription criteria and counted against PAN. Random allocation supervised by North Yorkshire Council. If random allocation results in a pupil from a multiple birth being successful, siblings from the same birth are also offered places, exceeding PAN if necessary.

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.
