Admissions Overview
Admissions to Horninglow Primary are managed through Staffordshire County Council.
Pupils may be admitted to the school full-time at the start of the school year following their fourth birthday.
It is intended that the number of pupils admitted to Horninglow Primary School will not exceed 30.
| If the number of pupils seeking admission exceeds the number of places available, then the following order of priority will be used: | |
|---|---|
| a | Children in care and children who ceased to be in care because they were adopted (or become subject to child arrangement order or special guardianship order), including those children who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. |
| b |
Children of staff in either of the following circumstances: i) where the member of staff has been employed at the Academy for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the Academy is made, and/or ii) the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage. |
| c | Students who at the time of the application have an elder sibling in attendance at the Academy, who will still be attending at the proposed admission date |
| d | Students residing within the catchment area. |
| e |
Students who satisfy both of the following tests: They are distinguished from the great majority of applicants either on medical grounds or by other exceptional circumstances. Medical grounds must be supported by a medical report, (obtained by the parents). It must clearly justify, for health reasons only, why it is better for the child to attend the academy rather than any other school. Exceptional circumstances must relate to the choice of academy, i.e. the circumstances of the child, not the economic or social circumstances of the parent. They should be supported by a professional report (obtained by the parents), e.g. social worker, justifying why it is better for the child to attend the academy rather than any other school. They would suffer hardship if they were unable to attend the academy. Hardship means severe suffering of any kind, not merely difficulty or inconvenience, which is likely to be experienced as a result of the child attending a different school. Parents must provide detailed information about both the type and severity of any likely hardship at the time of application. |
| f | Other students arranged in order of priority according to how near their home addresses are to the main gate of the academy, determined by a straightline measurement as calculated by the Local Authority’s School Admissions and Transport Services Geographical Information System. |
