The oversubscription criteria for when a school is full is:
Category 1 – children who are looked after by a local authority and children who were previously looked after by a local authority. Previously looked after children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order)
Category 2 – children with exceptional medical/social needs
Category 3 – children with a sibling at the school
Category 4 – all other children
Waiting lists will be held in criteria order according to the oversubscription criteria. Waiting lists will not be operated on a “first come, first served” basis. The amount of time an applicant is on a waiting list will not affect their position on it.
