Admissions Policy 2025-2026 (updated March 2024)

Admissions arrangements of all mainstream academies and free schools must comply with the School admissions code and the School admissions appeals code.

Admission authorities must set (‘determine’) admission arrangements annually. Where changes are proposed to admission arrangements, the admission authority must first publicly consult on those arrangements. If no changes are made to admission arrangements, they must be consulted on at least once every seven years. Consultation must be for a minimum of six weeks and must take place between 1 October and 31 January of the school year before those arrangements are to apply (the determination year).

Waitlists

Year 7: At the main transfer cycle. The Year 7 oversubscription list (OSL) will run until the end of the autumn term of the transfer year.

Year 8, 9, 10 and 11: No waitlists run for these year groups.

Consultation on proposal to increase the capacity of Manor High School

It is proposed to expand Manor High School from 900 to 1050 places. This would enable the school to admit 210 children into Year 7 each year from 2025-2026 school year onwards, an increase of 30 students over the current official admission number. The intention is that the school would grow incrementally over time with successive intakes of 210 creating sustainable gradual growth over a 5-year period, until the maximum of 1050 students on roll is reached.

Consultation ran from Tuesday 24^th October 2023 to Friday 24^th November 2023.

It may be that in exceptional circumstances, a short absence is agreed to. In these extreme cases, discretion will be exercised. A number of factors will be taken into account. These include the urgency of the request, the impact upon learning, progress and achievement and the number of previous days’ absence for the student.

The school does not authorise term time holidays. This is because of the impact upon progress and learning. If a holiday goes ahead, it is our policy to mark the absence as an unauthorised holiday absence. We recognise that holiday periods are more expensive and that many families have to travel long distances to visit relatives. We also recognise that parents and carers may choose to proceed with the absence without authorisation. However, we wish to make it clear that our records will state that the absence was not authorised.

Leave of Absence Request

Occasionally it is necessary for the school to administer medication to a students on their parents’ behalf. Details of how this process is managed is in the policy below.

In addition, if a parent wishes us to administer medicine in school they are required to complete the form rather below.
