For Admission to all Key Stages

Places will be offered in the following order of priority:

2. Children who live in the school's priority admission area (PAA) who have an older brother or sister attending from the same address at the date of admission.

3. Other children living in the school's priority admission area.

4. Children who live outside the school’s PAA who have an older brother or sister attending from the same address at the time of admission.

Community and controlled schools will admit children with Statements of Special Educational Needs where the school is named in the Statement.

Notes

a. Children in priority 1 above may also be admitted above the Published Admission Number (PAN). 

The PAN at Field Lane is 30 children per class from Reception to Year 6. In Nursery, 15 children in the morning and 15 in the afternoon.

b. If we cannot agree to requests for admission in priorities 2 to 5 above without exceeding the PAN, we will give priority up to the PAN to children living nearest the school. 

c. Distance is measured in a straight line from a child’s home address to the school. Measurements are calculated using seven-figure grid references for each address taken from Ordnance Survey ADDRESS-POINT data. This grid reference relates to a point that falls within the permanent building structure corresponding to the address. The boundary of the building structure for the address is derived from Ordnance Survey Land-Line data. For smaller, residential properties the grid reference denotes a point near the centre of the building. For larger properties, like schools for example, multiple buildings and large grounds, the grid reference relates to a point inside the main addressable building structure. The distance calculated is accurate to within 0.1metres. 

d. ‘Live’ means the child’s permanent home at the date when applications close or, if a significant house move is involved, the latest reasonable date prior to the final allocation of places.

e. For children transferring from First and Middle schools, preference within any of the priorities 2 to 5 above (up to the PAN) will be  given to children attending either a first school in the middle school priority  admission area, or a middle school in the high school priority admission area.

f. A Priority Admission Area means a geographical area determined by Kirklees in consultation with the governing body of the school.

The Local Education Authority makes decisions on placements of children. 

Registration forms for Reception places can be obtained from the school office.  These forms allow parents to select three schools in order of preference and they must be completed by 1^st Dec in the year prior to admission.
