Request regarding School Admissions

The request was successful.

Dear Wakefield City Council,

I am writing with regards to the school intake for 2016/2017 for Crofton Academy and request the following information please:~

How many children have been admitted to Crofton Academy outside the catchment area?

How many from outside the Wakefield Authority have been admitted?

How many did not receive places who were in Feeder schools?

What is the criteria to decide who is 1st, 2nd etc on the reserve list?

If a child attends a 'Feeder school', this suggests that the children automatically feed in from one school to the other. Why is Crofton Junior school considered a 'Feeder school' when it does not automatically allow all Year 6 children a place at Crofton Academy who wish to attend there?

Yours faithfully,

L Watkins
