As part of our ID checks, we ask parents to provide supporting evidence to show that they are living at the address from which the application is being made, details are as follows:-

• Your child’s birth certificate and/or valid passport;
• 2026-27 Council Tax Statement OR signed tenancy agreement;
• ONE of the following documents:
  • Driver’s licence;
  • Schedule of motor insurance;
  • Utility bill such as gas/electricity/water/telephone/broadband;
  • Payslip.
• Any ONE of the following to show your child is also living at this address at the same time:
  • Child or Working Tax Credit/Child Benefit/JSA/Disability Benefit/Universal Credit Letter;
  • Savings account statement;
  • NHS medical card;
  • NHS immunisation letter;
  • Hospital appointment letter;
  • GP registration letter;
  • Pre-school/nursery invoice (for Reception children only).

If there are no places available at the time of your application, your child will be placed on the waiting list.  Applicants are prioritised in accordance with our over-subscription criteria:-

1. Looked After Children and previously Looked After Children
2. Health, Social and Special Access Reasons
3. Current Family Association
4. Children of Staff
5. Nearness of child’s home to the school

In accordance with our Admissions Policy, pupils will remain on the waiting list until such time as:-

a) place is offered.
b) the parent/carer asks for their child to be taken off the waiting list.
c) one calendar year has passed.

This means that should no offer be forthcoming for the pupil after one calendar year, we will write to the parent/carer advising that the child’s details will be removed from our waiting list.  If a parent/carer wishes to reapply again at this point, then they are most welcome to do so.
