Moulton School and Science College

When there are more applications than places for 2026-27 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1Looked after children and all previously looked after children
2. 2Students who live in the defined area associated with Moulton School & Science College (MSSC)
3. 3Students attending, at the time of application, MSSC’s designated contributory primary schools and continuing in attendance until the formal offer of places is made
4. 4Students who are children of staff employed by the school in either or both of the following circumstances: a) where the member of staff has been employed at the MSSC for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to MSSC is made, and/or b) where the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skills shortage
5. 5Students who will have a sibling continuing at MSSC in the year of admission
6. 6Other students Allocation to Published Admission Number (PAN) If the admission number is exceeded within any criterion, priority will be given to those who live closest to the school. Distances are measured on a straight-line basis from the address point of the child’s home address to the address point of the school using a Geographical Information System. In the case where there are multiple applications from the same shared dwelling (e.g., flats) or where the distance between two or more children’s homes to the school (using the system referred to above) is identical, random allocation will be used to decide which child gets priority.
