Bishop Wordsworth’s School’s Catchment Area.

Oversubscription policy — Before the application of oversubscription criteria, eligible students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names the school and who have passed the assessment will be admitted. As a result of this the published admissions number will be reduced accordingly.

In each of the identified criteria below, a requirement of applicants is that they have passed the entrance examinations.

Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be determined as follows:

  1. A ‘looked after child’ or a ‘previously looked after child.

  2. Applicants who, at the time of the entry exam, meet the eligibility criteria to claim for free school meals currently or in any of the previous six years and who therefore qualify for the Pupil Premium Grant.

  3. Applicants whose permanent home is in the School’s designated area (map available on the School’s website) at the time of application or who have evidence that they will be permanently relocated to live in the designated area. 

  4. Applicants who will reside with a brother or sister already at the School at the time of admission (including fostered, adopted, step or half-brother or sister or the child of the parent’s partner).

  5. Applicants who at the time at which the application for admission is made, reside with at least one parent or step-parent who is a contracted member of staff at the School and has been so for at least two years.

  6. Applicants who, at the time of the Exam, have been recorded as qualifying for the Service Premium in their school or who have been a Service Child in any of the previous three years or who are in receipt of a child pension from the Ministry of Defence under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) and the War Pension Scheme (WPS).

  7. Other applicants who have met the entry requirements.

  • 30-minute break.
