Where there are more qualified candidates than places then the following oversubscription criteria will apply:

1.     Looked after children and all previously looked after children

2.     Students with Special Education Needs

3.     Students who have sat their GCSEs with King Edward’s

4.     External students based on the rank order of their average GCSE [Best 8] points score.

The remaining course qualified students will then be selected for the course in average GCSE point score rank order.

Tie break: where there are two students for the final place on a course with the same highest 8 GCSE average point score then the student with the higher score on their course required GCSE will gain the place.

Where the course has a minimum of 6 students starting the course in September of Year 12 and/or where it is possible to structure the teaching of the course to enable a mixed Y12/Y13 class of a minimum of 6 to run.

The school plans and budgets are based upon a specific curriculum design that is predicated on a specific number of classes; sets and groups in each year group. The school will always act flexibly to try and accommodate students’ preferences but cannot guarantee being able to offer all courses or to add new sets when to do so would be unviable.

The school reserves the right to withdraw courses that are not viable and to determine the number of sets that are offered.
