When Chase High School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after / previously looked after children — A 'looked after child' is one in the care of, or accommodated by, a Local Authority in England; a 'previously looked after child' is one who was looked after in England but ceased to be so through adoption, a child arrangements order or special guardianship order, as well as a child who appears to have been in state care outside of England but ceased to be so as a result of being adopted; 2. Sibling at CHS — Children with a sibling at Chase High School in Year 7 to Year 11 at the time of application, who will still be on roll in Years 7 to 11 at the time of the applicant's admission. Siblings in Year 12/13 (or who will be in Year 12 at time of admission) do not qualify. A sibling must live at the applicant's home address as part of the same core family unit; 3. Children of staff — Children of staff at CHS who spend more than 50% of their working week during term time based at CHS, and who have been employed at CHS for two or more years (permanent, or two or more consecutive one-year fixed-term contracts) and/or recruited to fill a vacant post with a demonstrable skill shortage. A signed letter from the staff member's Line Manager confirming eligibility must be submitted, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 226 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Determined by straight-line distance between the child's home address and the nearest pupil entrance to CHS (measured by Southend-on-Sea City Council's dedicated computerised software; multi-dwelling buildings measured to the main external entrance), places allocated lowest distance to highest. Where distance is equal, random allocation (independent of CHS) is used. Where twins/triplets/higher-multiple-birth siblings applying to the same Year Group are not all allocated a place due to the tie breaker for the final place(s), all of them will be allocated a place even over PAN.

How places are decided at Chase High School

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.

1Looked after / previously looked after children — A 'looked after child' is one in the care of, or accommodated by, a Local Authority in England; a 'previously looked after child' is one who was looked after in England but ceased to be so through adoption, a child arrangements order or special guardianship order, as well as a child who appears to have been in state care outside of England but ceased to be so as a result of being adopted.
2Sibling at CHS — Children with a sibling at Chase High School in Year 7 to Year 11 at the time of application, who will still be on roll in Years 7 to 11 at the time of the applicant's admission. Siblings in Year 12/13 (or who will be in Year 12 at time of admission) do not qualify. A sibling must live at the applicant's home address as part of the same core family unit.
3Children of staff — Children of staff at CHS who spend more than 50% of their working week during term time based at CHS, and who have been employed at CHS for two or more years (permanent, or two or more consecutive one-year fixed-term contracts) and/or recruited to fill a vacant post with a demonstrable skill shortage. A signed letter from the staff member's Line Manager confirming eligibility must be submitted.
4Priority Admission Area — Children whose home address is located within the Priority Admission Area for CHS as shown in the Priority Admission Area Map available via the CHS website.
5All other children — All applicant children not included in any of the categories above.

If two applications tie: Determined by straight-line distance between the child's home address and the nearest pupil entrance to CHS (measured by Southend-on-Sea City Council's dedicated computerised software; multi-dwelling buildings measured to the main external entrance), places allocated lowest distance to highest. Where distance is equal, random allocation (independent of CHS) is used. Where twins/triplets/higher-multiple-birth siblings applying to the same Year Group are not all allocated a place due to the tie breaker for the final place(s), all of them will be allocated a place even over PAN.

Children with an EHCP naming CHS are admitted under separate statutory processes, not this Policy; mainstream EHCP places are allocated within PAN (reducing places remaining), while Specialist Resource Provision (SRP, up to 12 pupils) EHCP places are admitted over PAN — not itself one of the numbered oversubscription criteria. Admission authority is Discovery Educational Trust (DET) via its Trust Board; CHS is co-educational and explicitly non-selective for Year 7.

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.
