Admissions criteria
Ark Academy is a non-denominational, non-selective school for children local to Wembley and, in the secondary school, Harlesden and Stonebridge. If the academy is oversubscribed, priority will be given to students with statements of special educational needs, where the academy is named on the statement.
For the secondary school priority after children with statements of special educational need will be:
- children who are pupils in year 6 of the academy
- children who have a sibling who already attends the school and who will continue to do so on the date of admission ("sibling" means a whole, half or step-brother or step-sister resident at the same address)
- children who live closest to the school, using a straight line distance from the main entrance of the academy to the main entrance to the child’s home or to a central point in the Harlesden/Stonebridge area.
The academy keeps a waiting list which is used to fill casual vacancies occurring if students leave during the year, or withdraw from a place that has been offered.
Appeals
Parents/carers of children who are not offered a place can appeal to an independent committee under the provisions of the School Standards and Framework Act, 1998. Parents/carers wishing to appeal should contact the Brent Council admissions team who will be able to advise them on the process.
