Starting primary school is a big event in your child’s life. Below we have included all the information you need to consider when selecting the right school for you and your child.
The Trust has established admission criteria for all its schools. These are aligned with the Local Authority admission criteria and are there to decide which children get places.
The Trust’s admission criteria have been set to give priority to children:
As defined by Section 22 of the Children Act 1989, priority will be given to a child who is in the care of a local authority or provided with accommodation by that authority.
All Trust schools give top priority to admitting children who:
Whether siblings attend the school and will still be attending the school at the time of admissions. For admission purposes, a sibling is a child who resides at the same address as the child for whom a place is being requested, and is one of the following:
How close the child lives to the school requested, with those living closest to the school getting the highest priority. The measurement between home and school will be determined by a straight-line measurement from the designated seed point of the home address to the designated seed point of the school using the local authority’s computerised system. The home address of a pupil is considered to be the permanent residence of a child when the place is offered. The address must be the child’s only or main residence and is either:
Where parents have shared responsibility for a child and the child lives with both parents for part of the week then the main residence will be determined as the address where the child lives for a majority of the school week. If the child equally shares living with both parents, the parents must inform the Trust which address should be used for admission purposes and which parent will make the application. Parents may be requested to supply documentary evidence to support the address used for the application.
The Trust and its schools can give you further information about admission criteria and how to apply for a place at a Trust school

On receipt of an in-year application, the school will notify the local authority of both the application and its outcome, to allow the local authority to keep up to date with figures on the availability of school places in Dudley.
