Summary of Admissions Rules
1. Children looked after and children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order).
2. Medical or Social: Children for whom it can be demonstrated that they have a particular medical or social need to go to the school. Evidence must be
sufficiently compelling to meet the requirements for this rule. The evidence must relate specifically to the school applied for under Rule 2 and must clearly demonstrate why it is the only school that can meet the child’s needs.
3. Sibling: Children who have a sibling at the school at the time of application, unless the sibling is in the last year of the normal age range of the school.
4. Children of staff who work at the school at the time of application. A member of staff is defined as a person who has either a full time or part time permanent contract of employment at the School at the time of application. The Governing Body will give priority in their oversubscription criteria to children of staff where the staff member has been employed for two or more years and/or has been recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
5. Children who live in the priority area for whom it is their nearest Hertfordshire maintained school or academy that is non-faith, co-educational and non- partially selective.
6. Children who live in the priority area who live nearest to the school.
7. Children living outside the priority area on the basis of distance, with those living nearest to the school given priority.
Where there is a need for a tie-break where two different addresses measure the same distance from a school, in the case of a block of flats for example the lower door number will be deemed nearest as logically this will be on the ground floor and therefore closer. If there are two identical addresses of separate applicants, the tie break will be random.
Parishes in the priority area of the school are: Ayot St Peter, Codicote, Essendon, Hatfield, North Mymms, Potters Bar, Welwyn Garden City, Welwyn and Woolmer Green.
