St Andrew's Church of England Primary School: admissions information

​St Andrews C Of E Primary School, Grafton Street, Kettering, Northamptonshire, NN16 9DF

 Oversubscription criteria

The governors will admit all pupils with an Education Health and Care Plan which names the school.

When there are more applications than there are places available, the governors will admit pupils according to the following criteria which are listed in order of priority:

  3. Children who live closer to the school than any other school.
  4. Other children.


If the admission number is exceeded within criterion 3, priority will be given to those who live furthest from the nearest alternative school. Within any other criterion, applications will be prioritised on the distance from the child’s home to school.

Distances are provided by the Local Authority and are measured on a straight-line basis using a geographical information system.
