Parents of children resident outside Worcestershire
If you wish to apply for a place at any Worcestershire school, you must complete an application provided by your 'home' LA. (The 'home' LA is defined as the Local Authority relevant to the child's home address). The 'home' LA will ensure that the application details are passed onto Worcestershire LA for consideration in the allocation of school places.
If you are not resident in Worcestershire, then you should obtain admission details from your home LA, even if your preferences include schools within Worcestershire.
If applying after the closing date deadline, you will need to visit www.worcestershire.gov.uk/schooladmissions or telephone: 01905 766524 to request a Late application form.
N.B. Places in schools are allocated on the basis of applications made online on or before the closing date. Therefore, it is very important that you apply by the closing date as applications received after the deadline may be classed as late and you may be unsuccessful, even if you have a child there already or live very close to the school. You are advised to refer to the Admissions and Transfers to Schools Information for Parents book at www.worcestershire.gov.uk/schooladmissions for full details.
In-Year Applications
In-year applications must be made through Worcestershire County Council. Relevant information can be found by clicking in this link: http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/info/20099/school_admissions/706/in-year_applications
Parents may only make one application for a child in one academic year unless there are significant or material changes in the circumstances of the child, parent or the school.

Arrangements For The Admission Of Pupils With Disabilities
The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 defines a disabled person as one who has a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on a person's ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.
Most children with Special Needs will not be disabled within the meaning of the Act. The admission of pupils with disabilities is considered in the first instance in the same way as non-disabled pupils. Further considerations are made in the light of need and accessibility.
It is the Governors' policy to accommodate pupils with disabilities should parents wish, and individual needs are planned for, to prevent any pupils being treated less favourably than other pupils.
In practice, we ensure that classroom and extracurricular activities encourage the participation of all pupils, including those categorised as having Special Educational Needs or Disabilities. Staff organise human and physical resources within the school to increase access to learning and participation by all pupils. There are appropriate ramps to access the school and within school to support wheelchair access. We also have a bathroom management facility within school.
