Pupils in school — 1100+

Places available in year 7 —  190+

Average applicants per place — 5 or more

Oversubscription policy — Before the application of oversubscription criteria, 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.

Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be allocated in the following order of priority:

  1. Looked After Children / Previously Looked After Children who achieve the qualifying score. Applicants in this category will be ranked by test score and then by distance from the school.

  2. Children attracting the Pupil Premium who achieve the qualifying score and live within the school catchment area*. Applicants in this category will be ranked by distance from the school.

  3. If fewer than 48 places (25% of the PAN) are filled by applicants in category 2, offers will be made to children attracting the Pupil Premium who achieve the qualifying score and live outside the catchment area, until a total of 48 children attracting the Pupil Premium have been offered. If 48 or more places are filled by applicants in category 2, there will be no offers made from this category. Applicants in this category will be ranked by test score. Where scores are equal, priority will be given to those with a sibling at the school; then by distance from the school.

  4. Applicants who achieve the priority score and live within the school catchment area. Applicants in this category will be given priority if they have an older sibling at the school; then ranked by distance from the school.

  5. Applicants achieving the qualifying score. Applicants in this category will be ranked by test score. Where scores are equal, priority will be given to those with a sibling at the school; then ranked by distance from the school.

  1. Eligible girls who are looked after children or previously looked after children.

  2. Girls who live within the school’s designated catchment area and are eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant will be ranked next, in order of the total of their entrance test scores, with those girls obtaining the highest scores given higher priority.

  3. Girls who live outside the school’s designated catchment area and are eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant will then be ranked in order of the total of their entrance test scores, with those girls obtaining the highest scores given higher priority.

  4. 130 places will be assigned to girls who scored most highly in the entrance tests, in rank order of the total of their entrance test scores, with those girls obtaining the highest scores given higher priority.

  5. Of the remaining eligible girls, those who live within the school’s designated catchment area and are ineligible for the Pupil Premium will be ranked next, in order of the total of their entrance test scores, with those girls obtaining the highest scores given higher priority.

  6. The remaining eligible girls (i.e. those who live outside the school’s designated catchment area and are ineligible for the Pupil Premium Grant) will be ranked in order of the total of their entrance test scores, with those girls obtaining the highest scores given higher priority.
