Admissions
Admission Criteria
Published Admission Number (PAN) - 90 children per academic year group.
There is no guarantee of a place for children living in the priority admission area. In the event of over subscription (i.e. more than 90 applications) places will be allocated using the following criteria in the order given;
- Looked After Children;
- Children with a sibling attending the school;
- Pupils who live with parents, guardians or carers, who are employees of Bridge Academy Trust, provided that the employee has been employed by the school for a minimum of two years at the date of application for admissions;
- Children living in the priority admission area (see PDF map below);
- Remaining applications.
In the event of over subscription within any of the above criteria, any child with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) must be admitted; after that, priority will be determined by straight line distance from home to school, those living closest being given the highest priority.

Applications for School Places Outside the Normal Admissions Round (Mid-year Admissions)
From 1 April 2022 any mid-year applications must be made directly to the school. If there are any spaces in the year group an offer will be made.
All mid-year applications should be made directly to the school, using the mid-year application form available below, or via the school office.
Mid-Year applications (sometimes called in-year applications) are any application for a school place made to a year group, apart from September admissions to Reception (primary and infant schools).
For applications into existing year groups, a place will be offered when the number of pupils in the relevant year group is below the admission number for that year group.
Please note: If a mid-year application is received during a school holiday period, we will respond as soon as possible when the school reopens.
