Determined Admission Arrangements 2026-2027

PRIMARY - Planned Admission Number (PAN) - 60

SECONDARY - Planned Admission Number (PAN) - 180

For admission to The Grange, as this is an all through school, pupils already attending The Grange in year 6 will automatically transfer to year 7 in the school and children will not be required to complete a preference form.

The remaining places will be filled by other applicants requesting a place and places will be allocated in accordance with the following criteria:

1. Children in Public Care - Looked after children (often known as in care), or children who were previously looked after, but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, residence or special guardianship order, including those children who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.

2. Siblings - Pupils with elder brothers or sisters including half brothers and sisters and unrelated children living together as part of the same household attending the school and expected to continue in the following year

3. Children of Staff – Where the member of staff has been employed at The Grange Academy for 2 or more years at the time of application, or the member of staff was recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage. Parent(s)/carer(s) must state the employee’s name on their admission application form. Details will be validated by the school.

4. Distance - Pupils living nearest to the school measured using the LA’s Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG) address point system which measures a straight-line distance from the unique address point of the child’s permanent address to the unique address point of the school in metres.
