Nunnery Wood 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.

1. 1Looked after and previously looked after children — All categories of looked after children (LAC) including: • Previously looked after children (PLAC) • Internationally adopted previously looked after children (IAPLAC)
2. 2Siblings attending the school, living in catchment — Siblings2 of students attending the school and living within the catchment area of the school. In order to qualify for a place on the grounds of a sibling attending the school, the sibling must already be attending the school at the time of application and still be attending at the time of admission. The catchment area map is available on the School website. In the event of a school catchment area change being approved, students who would still have a sibling connection2 at the time of admission and who are living at the same address in the previous catchment area for a school, (but not within the revised catchment area), at the time the change was approved will be considered as living within the catchment area.
3. 3Children of staff employed at the school — Children of all staff with a contract of employment at Nunnery Wood High School.
4. 4Students living within the catchment area — Students living within the catchment area of the school. The catchment area search on the WCF website can be found at http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/schoolsearch
5. 5Siblings outside catchment — Students living outside of the catchment area but who would still have a sibling2 connection at school at the time of admission. In order to qualify for a place on the grounds of a sibling attending the school, the sibling must already be attending the school at the time of application and still be attending at the time of admission.
6. 6Attendance at named feeder primary school — Students who were attending a feeder primary school (Cherry Orchard, Lyppard Grange Primary School, Nunnery Wood, Perry Wood, Red Hill, Stanley Road and Whittington).
7. 7Nearest by shortest straight line distance — Students who live nearest to the school by the shortest straight line distance3.

If two applications tie: In the case of 2 or more applications that cannot be separated by the oversubscription criteria outlined above, the school will use random allocation as a tie breaker to decide between applicants. This process will be independently verified by the local authority.

Students with an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) naming Nunnery Wood will normally be allocated a place following consultation, before the numbered criteria are applied. Where there are too many applications from within the catchment area, priority is decided in the order indicated above to all catchment area applicants (sibling connection, attendance at feeder school, then distance). CATCHMENT: Siblings of students attending the school and living within the catchment area of the school... Students living within the catchment area of the school.
