10091 Starting Secondary School 2010 brochure.indd 39 6/12/10 09:47:21 Stockley Academy
Principal Mr Ian Storey DCSF number 312/6905
Summary of the admissions criteria
All children applying for admission in Year 7 to Stockley Academy will be required to take a Non- Verbal Reasoning Test (NVRT). All applicants will then be placed in one of nine bands, based on their performance in the NVRT. Within each band children will be allocated a place on the basis of the oversubscription criteria detailed below. The number admitted from each band will be such that the intake is representative of the national ability range. Where the number of applications for admission in a band is greater than the percentage to be allocated within that band* applications will be considered against the criteria set out below.
Oversubscription Where the Academy as a whole is oversubscribed but there are too few pupils to fill a particular ability band, pupils will be admitted alternately from the band below, and then the band above, until the band is filled. In allocating children the Academy will give priority in the order set out below. After the admission of pupils with statements of Special Educational Needs where Stockley Academy is named in the statement, the criteria will be applied in the order in which they are set out below: a. Children in public care b. Pupils whose siblings currently attend the school and who will continue to do so on the date of admission; (i.e. a natural brother or sister, a half-brother or sister, or a legally adopted brother or sister; who will be living with them at the same address at the date of their entry to the Academy) c. Pupils on the basis of proximity to the school using the shortest straight line distance, as measured by the Hillingdon Local Authority GIS, from the main pupil entrance of the Academy to the centre of the child’s home. * For example, if the national ability profile shows that 10% should be allocated to the highest ability band that will mean the academy should admit 18 into this band. If 20 pupils fall into this ability band the Academy will apply its oversubscription criteria to ascertain which 18 children have priority for admission.
