Although All Saints' is a designated Church of England academy, the Key Information table states 'Priority according to faith: No' and 'Admissions catchment area: No' - there is no faith-based or catchment-based oversubscription criterion. A child whose EHCP names the school is admitted without regard to these criteria (not itself numbered among the 7). Sixth form / post-16 admissions are covered by a separate policy document, not this one. Criterion 3 (siblings) uniquely uses an 'aptitude testing' score as its own tie-breaker sub-rule, ahead of the general distance tie-breaker used for the other criteria.

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.
