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. 1A Looked After Child is — A Looked After Child is (i) in the care of the local authority, or (ii) being provided with accommodation by the local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (under Section 22(1) of The Children Act 1989). A previously Looked After Child is one who immediately moved on from that status after becoming subject to an adoption, residence or special guardianship order. Included in this definition are those children who appear (to the governing body) to have been in state care outside of England and who ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.

Late applications will be considered by the governors after all other applications have been considered.
3. 3Siblings are defined as blood brothers and sisters — Siblings are defined as blood brothers and sisters, stepbrothers and step-sisters, and brothers and sisters by adoption. Other children may be considered provided proof is available to demonstrate that the children are permanently resident at the same address as part of the same family unit or if the child of a parent’s partner where that child lives for at least part of the week is in the same family unit at the same home address as the child who is the subject of the application.

5. 5Roman Catholic applicants — Roman Catholic applicants (whose primary schools are unable to confirm to us that they have seen it) will be required to produce a Baptismal Certificate. This will be requested by a letter from All Hallows and will need to be submitted within two weeks of the request.
6. 6If an application has been turned down by the governing body — If an application has been turned down by the governing body, parents can appeal to an Independent Appeal Committee. This appeal must be sent in writing to the clerk of governors at the school within 20 days of refusal. The parents must give their reasons for appealing, in writing, and the decision of the appeals panel is binding on the governors.

The waiting list will be rerankedas new names are added and this can result in applicants moving up and down the waiting list. In-Year Fair Access children take precedence over children on the waiting list. Parents will be contacted by the School Admissions Coordinator, should a place become available for their child. Once the waiting list end-date has been reached (end of the autumn term) if a place is still required, the parent will need to reapply for a place using the Local Authority In-Year Fair Access process.
9. 9For ‘In year’ applications received outside the normal admissions round and if places are available then children qualif — For ‘In year’ applications received outside the normal admissions round and if places are available then children qualifying under the published criteria will be admitted. If there are places available but more applicants than places then the published oversubscription criteria will be applied. All applications should be made to the School Admissions team and will be considered by the In Year Fair Access Panel on a regular basis.
10. 10Shared custody arrangements – if parents are separated and the child spends time at each parent’s address — Shared custody arrangements – if parents are separated and the child spends time at each parent’s address, the child’s ‘permanent place of residence’ will be determined as the address of the parent who normally has responsibility for the majority of school days in a week.

The admission of children with Special Educational Needs By virtue of Section 324 of the Education Act 1996, Governing Bodies are obliged to admit a child with an Education, Health and Care Plan that names their school. However in advance of that process the Local Authority must provide either a copy of the proposed statement and appendices or, where they are proposing to amend part 4 of an existing statement, either the proposed amended statement or the amendment notice together with a copy of the existing statement, and in either case, the appendices and give the governing body the opportunity to make observations. The governing body may object to the direction on the grounds that the school is unsuitable to the child’s age, ability, aptitude or special educational needs, or that the placement would be incompatible with the efficient education of the other children with whom the child will be educated, or with the efficient use of resources. The Local Authority has a duty to consider such objections and may consider these sufficient to warrant the naming of another school. In turn the parents may also appeal against that decision to the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal…
