Where the number of applications is greater than the
published admission number; after the allocation of
children with an EHC plan, the admission criteria will be
applied in the following order of priority:

children. Previously looked after children are children
who were looked after, but ceased to be so because
they were adopted (or became subject to a residence
order or special guardianship order).

school at the time of application who will be at the
school in September 2020. Sibling refers to brother or
sister, half brother or sister, adopted brother or sister,
step brother or sister, or the child of the parent / carer’s
partner and, in every case, the child should be living in
the same family unit at the same address.
3. Children with a parent who has been employed by
Brentside High School for a minimum of two years
before date of application or who has been recruited to
meet a particular skills shortage.
Waiting lists
If it is not possible to offer a place to a child immediately,
parents can ask for their child’s name to be placed on
a waiting list. The criteria for admission will be used to
determine the position on the waiting list.
The waiting list for Year 7 places will be maintained until the
end of the autumn term. Waiting lists for other year groups
will be cleared at the end of each term.
Sixth form admissions
Applications for sixth form are made directly to the school.

gated entrance which is used by students to enter the
school grounds.

distance criteria random allocation will be used.
