Admission Policy
|
|
||
| The Valley School admits pupils from the parish of Oakamoor and its neighbouring communities. If the number of pupils seeking admission to the school exceeded the number of places available, then the following order of priority will be used: | ||
| 1. Pupils living within the catchment area of the school | ||
| 2. Pupils who have an elder brother or sister in attendance at the school | ||
| 3. Pupils who satisfy the following test: | ||
|
a)
b) |
They are
distinguished from the great majority of other applicants either on
medical grounds or by other exceptional circumstances. Medical
grounds must be supported by a medical report (obtained by the
parents). It must clearly justify, for health reasons only,
why it is better for the child to attend the preferred school than
any other school.
Exceptional circumstances must relate to the choice of school, i.e. the circumstances of the child, not the economic or social circumstances of the parent and be supported by a professional report, e.g. social worker, justifying why it is better for the child to attend the preferred school than any other school. They would suffer hardship if they were unable to attend the school |
|
| 4. Other pupils arranged in order of priority according to how near their home addresses are to the school as measured by the Data Map Geographical Information System | ||
