Welton William Farr C of E Comprehensive School

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 children and 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 who have a sibling at the school at time of application.
3. Documented religious affiliation related to the Church of England character of the school.
4. Children of staff at the school.
5. Children whose normal address is within 5 kilometers (3.11 miles) of the school, by straight line, with those living nearer being accorded higher priority.
6. Children whose normal address is nearer to the school than to any other secondary school by straight line.
7. Other children.

If any of the above categories is oversubscribed, the tie-break will be straight line distance and the child living closer to the school will be offered the place. If the distance criterion is not sufficient to distinguish between two and more applicants for the last place, all will be considered together as one application and the school will go above its normal admission number.

The governors regard the onus of proof of religious affiliation to rest with the parents and carers of a child. Contact the school direct to obtain the necessary supplementary form, if applying under the religious criteria.

See the school’s full admissions policy for more information.
