Applying for a place in Year 7 for a September 2015 start Please be aware that for this year group we are over-subscribed with a significant waiting list. When over-subscribed applications are allocated according to our over-subscription criteria: Admission Criteria Children in care, also looked after children (LAC), and children who were looked after but ceased to be so by reason of adoption, a resident order or special guardianship order; Children living in the area served by the following primary schools with a sibling already at the College at the time of admission: Burwell Village College (Primary); Fordham CofE(C) Primary School; Isleham CofE(C) Primary School; Kennett CP School; St Andrew’s CofE(VC) Primary School, Soham; The Shade CP School, Soham; The Weatheralls CP School, Soham; Other children living in the area served by the primary schools listed in 2; The attendance of a sibling at the time of admission; Children not living in the area served by, but who are attending, the primary schools listed in 2. The distance, for admissions purposes, is measured using the straight line distance from the reference point of the home, as defined by the Ordnance Survey (OS), to the main student entrance of the College. In cases of equal merit, priority will go to children living nearest theschool according to the shortest straight line distance. These distances are produced by the LA Admissions team for the school. For families who live outside the area covered by the Cambridgeshire mapping system, distances are determined using a combination of local maps and on-line resources. Children who have a statement of special educational needs that names the school will be admitted. N.B. Those children with a statement of special education needs that does not name the school will be referred to Student Assessment to determine an appropriate place.
