- How are Reception places decided at Academy 360?
- When Academy 360 has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after and previously looked after children — Highest priority will be given to looked after children and all previously looked after children who apply for a place at the Academy; 2. Exceptional medical or psychological grounds — Priority will next be given to children on the basis of exceptional social or medical need. The Academy defines exceptional social and medical need as a need to attend a specific Academy/school based on exception need. Exceptional need could include: • A serious medical condition, which can be supported by medical evidence; • Significant caring responsibilities, which can be supported by a social worker; • Where one or both parents or the child has a disability that may make travel to another school more difficult, which can be supported by medical evidence. These examples aren’t meant to be exhaustive or exclusive. Neither should it be assumed that similar circumstances would impact on different children and families in the same way. The school requires supporting evidence from a doctor, psychologist or other professional involved with the child. The evidence must relate specifically to the school for which the application is being made and must clearly demonstrate why it is the only school that can meet the child’s needs and explain the difficulties that would arise if the child has to attend an alternative school. This evidence must be submitted before the closing date. If the required evidence is not provided, the Admissions Authority will be unable to consider giving the child higher priority; 3. Children attending a feeder school — Priority will next be given to children who attend named feeder schools. Our named feeder schools are Highfield Academy and South Hylton Primary Academy, and 1 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point.
