Admissions
Starting School
Children start school in the September of the academic year in which they turn 5. Our admissions procedure allocates 3 levels of priority criteria for children starting school:
- Looked after or previously looked after children
- Children with a brother or a sister already at the school
- Children of school staff fulfilling a skills shortage role
- Children who live nearest the school
Within each of these categories, priority is given to those who live nearest the school, calculated on the basis of a straight-line measurement between home and school.
In addition, if Moor Green Primary Academy is named in a child’s statement of Special Educational Needs/Education Health and Care Plan, the school is required to admit the child. This gives such children overall priority for admission to school. This is not an oversubscription criterion.
Applying for a place
