Admissions Policy

The school admissions policy is identical with that laid down by Norfolk Children's Services and allocation of places is made on the basis of geographical proximity or family circumstances.

In the event of there being more requests for places than places available, Norfolk Children's Services will admit children in the following order of priority:

1. Children with a Statement of Special Educational Need naming that school;
2. Children who are due to transfer and live in the area served by the school;
3. Children who are due to transfer and live outside the area served by the school but who have an older brother or sister attending the school at the time of admission (but not the sixth form);
4. Children who are due to transfer and live outside the area served by the school;
5. Children living both in and outside the area served by the school who are attending either a middle or a primary school but wish to transfer before the age at which the High School usually admits, subject to professional judgement by relevant officers from Norfolk Children's Services concerning the appropriate educational and social development of the child.

If all children within any of the above criteria cannot be offered a place, the highest priority will be given to children living nearest to the school within these criteria. To determine who lives nearest, distance will be measured door to door, using Ordnance Survey data.
