Admissions criteria Tie breaker
If Ark Schools is unable to distinguish between applicants using
the published criteria, including those who live in blocks of flats
with the same building entrance, places will be offered via a
random draw which will be supervised by someone independent
of the academy.
The below criteria has been summarised, for the full admissions
policy and arrangements please visit the school website:
www.arkbyron.org
Where the number of applications is greater than the planned
admission number, applications will be considered against the
criteria set out below.
After the allocation of children with an EHC plan,the admission
criteria will be applied in the following order of priority:
1. Looked After Children and Children who have been
previously looked after (pursuant to the Admissions Code).
2. Children of staff at the school where there is a
demonstrable skill shortage – Children of members of staff
will have priority in the oversubscription criteria if the staff
member is filling a post for which there is a demonstrable
skill shortage. Ark Schools is required to approve the
Principal’s designation of such posts and confirm the
assessment that a member of staff appointed meets the
requirements of the shortage. Priority will be limited to
one place for each form of entry in any year.
3. Children who at the time of the admission have a sibling
who attends the academy. For this purpose “sibling” means
a whole, half or step-brother or -sister or an adopted child
resident at the same address.
4. Children of staff in the school – Where there is no
demonstrable skill shortage, priority may be given where the
academy is oversubscribed to a child of a person who will
have been employed in the academy for two or more years
at the time the application for admission is made. Priority will
be limited to one place for each form of entry in any year.
5. Distance measurement – A child’s home will be the address
at which the child normally resides and which has been
notified to the academy and other relevant agencies as being
the child’s normal place of residence.
