2024 oversubscription criteria
  1. Looked after children and all previously looked after children, including those children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
  2. Children living in the ecclesiastical parishes of St Botolph’s and St Peter at Gowt’s with St Andrew.
  3. A brother or sister already in the school and who will still be attending at the time the place is required.
  4. Children whose parents can provide clear evidence of a religious affiliation which will be verified by a signed letter from an officiating minister at the place of worship. This will be assessed using the following criteria: Parents are faithful and regular worshippers at a Christian Church.  Parents are practising members of another faith and wish their children to attend a Christian school because of its religious emphasis and ethos. The child is transferring from a church school and parents wish to maintain the continuity of a church school.
  5. Straight line distance from home to the school, priority will be given to the child living closest.

If distance is not sufficient to distinguish between applicants for the last place then a lottery will be conducted.

See the full admissions policy for definitions, mid-year admissions or other academic years.
