Admissions Procedure

Children are admitted to schools in accordance with parental preference as far as possible.  However, when a school receives more applications than it has places available, oversubscripton criteria are used to decide who will be offered a place, and the ranking of the waiting list.  These criteria are sometimes also referred to as "admission criteria".

For all community schools in Birmingham, Birmingham Local Authority is the admission authority and has set their oversubscription criteria.  When a community school receives more applications than it has places available, the places at that school will be offered based on the following order of priority:

Overall priority is given to children with a statement of special education needs (SEN) that names that school in their statement, followed by:-

1.   Looked After Children (in public care)

2.  Siblings (brother or sister who will still be in attendance when the sibling joins)

3.  Distances (children who live nearest the school)

Within each of these categories, priority is given to those who live nearest the school, calculated on the basis of a straight line measurement between the child's home address and the school.  This is usually measured to the centre point of the school.

 

If you live in Birmingham, you will receive information on the secondary transfer process from Birmingham City Council in the July of the year prior to your child starting secondary school in September.  This information will be sent via your child's Birmingham Primary School or via post if your child attends a primary school outside Birmingham. 

 

Please contact Birmingham City Council Admissions Department on 0121 675 0555 should you require any further information on admissions to this school.
