Priorities For Admission

  1. Children in public care (Looked After Children)
  2. Children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs which names the school.
  3. Children living in the school’s priority admission area who have an older brother or sister attending from the same address at the date of admission.
  4. Other children living in the school’s priority admission area.
  5. Children who live outside the priority admission area who have an older brother or sister attending from the same address at the time of admission.
  6. Children who live outside the priority area.
  1. Children in priorities 1 and 2 may also be admitted above the Published Admissions Number (PAN).
  2. If we cannot agree to requests for admissions in priorities 3 to 6 above without exceeding the PAN, we will give priority up to the PAN to children living nearest the school. Distance is measured in a straight line.
  3. “Live” means the child’s permanent home at the date when applications close, or if a significant house move is involved, the latest reasonable date prior to the final allocation of places
  4. For children transferring from first and middle schools, preference within any of the priority groups above (up to the PAN) will be given to children attending either a first school in the middle school priority admission area, or a middle school in the high school priority admission area.
  5. A priority admission area means a geographical area determined by Kirklees in consultation with the governing body of the school.

Westborough High School following Kirklees and National guidelines cannot guarantee a place for any child in the priority list above.

Parents wishing to visit the school are welcome to do so by phoning the school and arranging an appointment.

Additionally, we organise an Open Evening early in the Autumn Term. Dates are published in the local press in local junior schools. Personal invitations are sent to all students in our main feeder schools.
