Admissions & Appeals

The Dean Trust  is responsible for determining the Academy’s Admission Policy. In undertaking this responsibility, the Trust will be guided by the requirements of the law and will conform fully to the admissions code, The admissions oversubscription criteria have been created so as to ensure fairness, transparency and ease of operation to minimise appeals.

In accordance with the 1996 Education Act the allocation of school places for children with a statement of special educational needs which names the school will take place first. We will then allocate the remaining places in accordance with this policy.
