Lincoln The Priory Academy LSST

Where the number of applications is more than the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied in the order set out below, to decide which children to admit.

1. Looked after or previously looked after children.
2. Applicants who achieve the minimum standards needed for admission on the basis of aptitude for technology.

In the event that more than 24 applicants achieve the minimum standard, the 24 places will be offered to the applicants with the highest scores in the assessment. Any remaining applicants will then be considered using the criteria in paragraphs 3-6 published in the full admission policy.  In the event that fewer than 24 applicants achieve the minimum standard, they will all be admitted and those places will be added to those available using criteria 3-6 published in the full admission policy.

3. For each of the 52 primary schools listed below and the group of applicants from ‘Other Primary School’, that school’s allocation from the applications from that school.

In the event of more applications than the number of places allocated to any primary school, the criteria below are applied in order. In the event that all places allocated to a primary school are not taken up, those places, and any other places available, will be awarded to other applicants through a lottery supervised by an independent person (changed every year) not connected to the Trust or the Local Authority.

4. Siblings of pupils who are on the roll of the Academy at the time of the application.

5. Children of a member of staff of the academy who has been employed at the academy for two or more years at the time of the application, or who has been appointed to a vacant post for which there is demonstrable skill shortage

In the event of more applicants than places under criteria 4 or 5 above, children living nearest to the school have priority, using criterion 6.

6. Children who live nearest to the Academy by straight line distance from the post office address point of the Academy’s main entrance to the post office address point of the child’s home.

In the event that two or more applicants under criterion 6 live the same straight-line distance from the school, the place or places will be allocated at random by an independent person.

Priory Academy LSST will consider all applications for places at the academy. Where the number of applications is less than or equal to the published admission number, we will offer places to all those who have applied.

Where the number of applications is greater than the published admission number, Priory Academy LSST will first accept all pupils with an education, health and care (EHC) plan (as defined in the Children and Families Act 2014) that names the academy.

After the admission of pupils with EHC plans, the academy will consider applications for the remaining places against the criteria set out below. The criteria below will be applied in the order in which they are set out. If applying any criterion would result in the year group being oversubscribed, the subsequent criteria will be applied, in order, to decide which applicants will be admitted.

1. looked after children, sometimes referred to as children in public care, or previously looked after children
2. students wishing to study the academy’s specialist subjects (science and technology subjects)

Where the application of criterion 25b leaves more students than places, then the ‘total’ of students’ grades in GCSE examinations will be taken into account, in order, starting with the highest score. In the case of tied ‘totals’, then the distance from home to the academy will be used as in paragraph 25c below;

• a student who lives nearest to the academy measured by the straight-line distance from the academy’s main entrance to the Post Office address point of the child’s home.
