After the allocation of children with an EHC plan, the admission
criteria will be applied in the following order of priority:
1. Children in Public Care – children taken into Public Care
via section 20 or 38 of the Children’s Act. Looked after
children or children who were previously looked after
but immediately after being looked after became subject
to an adoption, child arrangements order, or special
guardianship order.
2. Where the child has a sibling currently attending Dormers
Wells Infant School or Junior School and the sibling will still
be in attendance at applicant’s admission. Sibling refers to:
brother or sister, half brother of sister, adopted brother or
sister, step brother or sister, or the child of the parent/carer’s
partner, and in every case, the child should be living in the
same family unit at the same address.
3. Confirmed special medical reason, which necessitates
attendance at Dormers Wells Infant School. Parents must
provide a supporting letter or report from a Consultant (not
General Practitioner) (GP) explaining why education should
be at Dormers Wells Infant School.
4. Exceptional social circumstances (circumstances must relate
to the child and be supported by a Consultant’s or Social
Worker’s letter).
5. Proximity to the school is measured by comparing the
distance from home to school by walking route using
public highways, but excluding all footpaths and common
land. Measurement will be taken from the main gate on
Dormers Wells Lane to the applicant’s address. Distances are
measured using an electronic map measurer.
