Document mentions EHC plans naming Kidsgrove Primary School are admitted before oversubscription criteria apply. Document appears to be a Staffordshire/Cheshire East academy policy (references to Cheshire East and Staffordshire Fair Access protocol) despite being indexed under Telford & Wrekin Council; also references a separate Key Stage 2 PAN of 30. CATCHMENT: Children resident within the designated catchment area of the academy – children will be classed within this criterion if they and their parents/carers are resident within the area served by the academy. Transcribed from the school's own determined admission arrangements as published by Staffordshire County Council. Children with an EHCP naming the school are admitted first; that is a statutory duty, not an oversubscription criterion.

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.
