- How are Year 3 places decided at Flax Hill Junior Academy?
- When Flax Hill Junior Academy has more applications than places for 2025-26, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Children in Care / Previously Looked After — Children in Care and children who ceased to be in care because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order). Looked after children and all previously looked after children, including those 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; 2. Medical or Exceptional Circumstances with Hardship — Children who satisfy both of the following tests: Test 1: The child is distinguished from the great majority of other applicants either on their own medical grounds or by other exceptional circumstances. Medical grounds must be supported by a medical report (obtained by the applicant and provided at the point of application). This report must clearly justify, for health reasons only, why it is better for the child's health to attend the preferred school rather than any other school. Exceptional circumstances must relate to the choice of school and the individual child, i.e. the circumstances of the child, not the economic or social circumstances of the parent/carer. They should be supported by a professional report (obtained by the applicant and provided at the point of application), e.g. social worker. This report must clearly justify why it is better for the child to attend the preferred school rather than any other school. Test 2: The child would suffer hardship if they were unable to attend the preferred school. Hardship means severe suffering of any kind, not merely difficulty or inconvenience, which is likely to be experienced as a result of the child attending a different school. Applicants must provide detailed information about both the type and severity of any likely hardship at the time of application; 3. Sibling — Children who have an elder sibling in attendance at the preferred school (or in the case of an infant school, the affiliated Junior school) and who will still be attending the school at the proposed admission date; (For admission purposes, a brother or sister is a child who lives at the same address and either: have one or both natural parents in common; are related by a parents marriage; are adopted or fostered by a common parent or are unrelated children who live at the same address, whose parents live as partners), and 2 further criteria. Tie-break: In every criteria, distance from home to school will be the deciding factor. In the event that more than one child has an equal right to an available place the place will be offered by random allocation.
