Admissions

Admission Arrangements 2020-21

Halton Borough Council is responsible for the administration of the admissions process. Parents and Carers must complete a preference form online at www.halton.gov.uk/schooladmissions, which will issue an e-receipt email to you.

Online applicants can login to view the outcome of their application on the 2nd March 2021. Offer letters will be posted to applicants who submit a paper preference form on 2nd March 2021. Don’t leave it too late – you may miss out on the school place you want if you apply late. The deadline is 31st October 2020.

Parents and Carers of pupils from other local authorities should complete their own local authority form, but may include Halton schools as preferences on their form.

Useful Information

The school understands that parents and carers may have a number of questions regarding the process. The following points of information may assist you:

• In September 2021 there will be one intake of 315 pupils into Wade Deacon.
• Parents and Carers must complete the preference form regardless of circumstances or home address if they wish to apply for a place at Wade Deacon.
• All applications must be submitted no later than 31st October 2020.
• If the school is oversubscribed, applicants will then be allocated a place on the following criteria:

1. Looked after children and children who were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order).
2. Distance: pupils living nearest to the school measured using an Ordnance Survey address point system which measures straight line distances in metres from the point of the place of permanent residence of the pupil to the address point of the school. For September 2021, the distance is 1605.40 metres measured from the centre of the school in a straight line in any direction.
