Admissions

Applying to Dereham Church of England Junior Academy

The Governors have agreed an intake limit of 116 year 3 pupils per year.

If there are more children who wish to enter school than there are places then the following criteria will apply:

  1. Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan (or Statement of Special Educational Need) naming the academy (NB this is a duty for all schools / academies)
  1. Children who are looked after by the Local Authority and former LAC who have been adopted or are the subject of a special guardianship order
  1. Residence within the normal catchment area of the academy
  1. Siblings, adopted or foster brothers/sisters of pupils previously admitted to the academy and living at the same address and who will still be attending the academy when the sibling, adopted or foster brother / sister will start
  1. Parents who wish their children to receive an education in a Church of England academy should support this application with a letter from a church minister, either local or outside the locality. The letter should state how frequently the child attends church which should be at least once a month.
  1. Any other applicants

In the event of the Governors having to make a choice between candidates with cases of equal strength, the shortest distance from home to school in a straight line as the crow flies should have priority.
