Admissions

For full details and helpful advice surrounding the admissions process, schools, catchment areas and the distance from your home to this and other schools please view information on Solihull Local Authority’s website, www.solihull.gov.uk/admissions and see the Langley School Admissions policy on our website, www.langley.solihull.sch.uk Applications for a place at Langley School must be made online through Solihull Local Authority at www.solihull.gov.uk/enrol. You may apply for up to five schools that you would like your child to attend, whether in Solihull or another local area, ranked in preference order. Children living outside the borough, but attending a primary school in Solihull, are not guaranteed a place at a Solihull secondary school.

Applications should be submitted by 31st October of your child’s primary school Year 6 and offers are made the following 1st March, prior to admission that September.

The school’s admission number is 196. Where the number of applications is lower than the school’s admission number, all applicants will be admitted. If there are more applications than places available then all applications will be given a priority from the oversubscription criteria below and places will be offered in the following priority order

Priority 1 (a) Looked after children and previously looked after children who are now adopted or subject to a residence order 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.

(b) Children whose exceptional social or medical reasons can only be met at this school

Priority 2 Children who normally live in the school’s catchment area

Priority 3 Children who have an older brother or sister at the school at the same time

Priority 4 Children of staff at the school

Priority 5 Other children, outside catchment, living closest to the school, measured in a straight line from the child’s home

Notes:

Children with an education, health & care plan [EHCP] that names Langley School will be offered a place first. This will reduce the number of places available.

Applications with exceptional social or medical reasons must be supported by independent professional evidence. The Council’s Cabinet Member Advisory Group for Admissions will consider applications and evidence and make recommendations to a Cabinet Member, who will grant priority 1b to applications with exceptional circumstances.

The catchment area can be viewed on the website: www.solihull.gov.uk/onlinemaps
