Catchment area —  Devonport High School for Boys does not have a catchment area however in the case of a tie, the location and distance of the child’s house to the school may be used to make the final decision, with the closest given priority. 

Oversubscription policy — Before the application of oversubscription criteria, eligible students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names the school will be admitted. As a result of this the published admissions number will be reduced accordingly.

 Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be determined as follows:

  1. Looked after children and all children who were previously looked after who achieved a qualifying mark.

  2. Children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.

  3. 174 candidates who achieve a qualifying mark in rank order.

  4. Up to six students, who achieve a qualifying mark, who are registered and in receipt of the pupil premium at the date of testing. Evidence will be required at the time of allocation.

  5. Other candidates who achieve a qualifying mark in rank order.

To resolve any tied positions within this list the following criteria will be used (strictly in this order):

  1. Students who are registered and in receipt of the pupil or service premium at the date of testing. Evidence will be required at the time of allocation.

  2. Children of a member of staff who has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made or Children of a member of staff who is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.

  3. The mark for the DHSB English paper.

  4. If there is still a tie, then distance from DHSB will be used to favour those living nearer to the school.
