The Over-Subscription Criteria

If the number of applications for admission to the Academy received via the Medway co-ordinated scheme is greater than the published admission number, applications will be considered against the criteria set out below. After the admission of students with EHCP where Brompton Academy is named on the EHCP after the Academy has been consulted and it has been agreed, the remaining applicants will be split into the quintile bands based on their NFER scores within the national profile. Within each band the criteria will be applied in the order in which they are set out below:

a. Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) students and those children in public care (CIC)

b. Current family association (i.e. elder brother or sister in the Academy at time of application who will still be attending when the applicant child is admitted). In this context, brother or sister means:

• A natural brother or sister (including adopted siblings)
• Step brother or sister
• Foster brother or sister
• Those who live as brother or sister in the same house

c. Children of staff

d. Nearness of children’s homes

e. Random selection within bands

The Medway Common Application Form (CAF) should be used for applications to Brompton Academy. These forms, found in the ‘Admissions to Secondary School’ brochure should be returned to the Primary School Headteacher by the due deadline.

Waiting Lists

Where in any year Brompton Academy receives more applications for places than there are places available, a waiting list will operate until at least late October. This will be maintained by the UKAT Academies Trust and it will be open to any parent/carer to ask for his or her child’s name to be placed on the waiting list, following an unsuccessful application. Children’s position on the waiting list will be determined solely in accordance with the oversubscription criteria set out above where places become vacant, they will be allocated to young people on the waiting lists in accordance with the oversubscription criteria.
