Our confirmed admissions criteria for 2026 – 2027 are:

Criteria

  • Looked after or previously looked after girls.
  • Boys with a brother already at the school who will still be in attendance in September 2025.
  • Boys who live nearest the school.

Children with a statement of special educational needs/EHC Plan

Any boy with a statement of special educational needs/Education Health and Care Plan is required to be admitted to the school that is named in the statement/plan. This gives such boys overall priority for admission to the named school. This is not an oversubscription criterion.

Looked after or previously looked after children

A Looked After Child is a boy who is in the care of a local authority or is being provided with accommodation by a local authority as set out in s22(1) of the Children Act 1989. A Previously Looked After is a boy who immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, special guardianship or child arrangements order.

Previously looked after children in England and outside of England have the same entitlement at LAC students. This includes child arrangements and special guardianship orders. Whether a student falls under IAPLAC regulations will be determined by Birmingham Virtual School.
