Admissions Criteria:

Waverley Studio College will expect to draw students from across the city of Birmingham to include the inner and outer catchment proposals in order to create a diverse school reflecting the diversity of the city. If the school receives more applications than places available, the following oversubscription process and criteria will be applied in the following order:

1. Looked after children or children who were previously looked after (including previously looked after children from outside of England).
2. Children with a brother or a sister already at the academy who will still be in attendance in September 2021.
3. Children of staff directly employed by Waverley Education Foundation Trust
4. If after the application of the above over-subscription criteria, there are still places available; applicants will be prioritised by those whose home address is closest to the college site.

Within each of these categories, priority is given to those who live nearest the academy, calculated on the basis of a straight-line measurement between home and academy.
