How places are decided at Monkton Academy

When there are more applications than places for 2026-27 (Year 3), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked after and previously looked after children — A 'Looked after child' or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangement or special guardianship order. This also includes children (who appear to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care, as a result of being adopted.
2Sibling link — Concurrent sibling link (an older brother or sister is attending the Academy at the same time and is residing at the same address, to include adoptive siblings, half siblings and long term fostered children.)
3Residence in the school's catchment area — Parental home residence is within the defined catchment area of the school.
4Distance from the school — Shortest distance measured as a straight line, from the Ordnance Survey coordinate, from the parental home residence (including flats) to the school main entrance, using South Tyneside Council’s GIS, Geographical Information System, with those living closer to the Academy receiving a higher priority.

Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan naming the school are admitted first; the criteria above then decide oversubscription. The distance measurement is also used as a tie-breaker within each criterion; where two applicants are equidistant the place is decided by random allocation supervised by a person independent of the school. Every community and voluntary controlled school in South Tyneside has a defined catchment area and some streets are split between catchments — the council's School Admissions team confirms which catchment an address falls in. Transcribed verbatim from the document published by South Tyneside Council.

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.
