How are Reception places decided at Parkfield Primary School?

When Parkfield Primary School has more applications than places for 2026-27, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after/previously looked after children — children who are ‘looked after’ and children who were adopted (or subject to child arrangements orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been ‘looked after’. A child looked after is a child in the care of a local authority or provided with accommodation by that authority in accordance with Section 22 of the Children Act 1989. An adopted child is defined by section 46 of the Adoption and Children Act 2002. A residence order is defined by section 8 of the Children Act 1989. A special guardianship order is defined by section 14A of the Children Act 1989; 2. Exceptional medical/social need — other children who have an exceptional medical, social or other need that the school is particularly able to meet. Applications in this category will be considered only if they are supported by an attached written statement from a doctor, social worker or other appropriate professional. Parents must demonstrate that there is a very specific connection between the child's need and the particular school. Difficulties with child care arrangements because of work or other commitments would not be grounds for priority under this category. Information not provided at the time the application is submitted may not be considered at a later date; 3. Siblings — children who, at the time of admission, have a sibling (brother or sister) living at the same address who already attends the school. Siblings would include half, step, adoptive and foster siblings provided they also live at the same address as the applicant, and 3 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point.
