Draft Admission Policy for September 2026

Pupils who have a brother or sister permanently living at the same address, who are still at the school when the pupil begins. Please note - this only applies to siblings who are of compulsory school age, not younger siblings who attend a nursery setting attached to a school (Primary applications only),

Explanatory notes

We define brother or sister as follows:

A brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, adopted brother or sister, or children of partners who are permanently living at the same address as a family unit. In all cases, the parent who receives the Child Benefit for those children must permanently live at that address with the children.

We will consider brothers or sisters who live in separate households because the parents are separated and have shared responsibility for the children under conditions covering exceptional social or medical reasons. This does not include separate families living together in the same property.

If there are other family situations where there are different carers, for example, aunts, uncles or grandparents, each case will be considered individually.
