How are Reception places decided at Bursted Wood Primary School?

When Bursted Wood Primary School has more applications than places for 2022-23, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after / previously looked after children — Children in Public Care (looked after children) and children previously looked after immediately before being adopted or subject to a residence or special guardianship order. To qualify for this priority, children must fall within the definition of ‘looked after’ as in section 22 (1) of the Children Act 1989. An adopted child must have been adopted under the Adoption and Children Act 2002; 2. Medical condition — This is given to children with a medical condition such that it is essential, on medical grounds, for the child to attend the preferred school. A medical adviser may be consulted and asked for a professional medical opinion on the case presented. Priority for Bursted Wood Primary School would only be given if it was the school closest to the home address unless the medical adviser considers attending the school is essential for medical reasons. Requests for this priority must be made with supporting evidence at the time of application. Later requests will be considered only if the medical condition occurs after the closing date for applications. Medical conditions consequential from a failure to obtain a place at Bursted Wood Primary School, for example distress (whether or not leading to a recognised medical condition), do not fall within this priority; 3. Siblings — Siblings of children who will be attending Bursted Wood Primary School at the time the child is due for admission to the school. This priority does not include brothers or sisters due to transfer to secondary school in the next academic year. For this priority, brother or sister includes a full brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, or step/half brother or sister living at the same address. Where in an allocation of places, children who are twins, triplets or from other multiple births would qualify for fewer places than the number of children, all will be treated as siblings and therefore accorded the sibling priority, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 90 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Where one or more applicants live exactly the same distance from the school applied for and all would qualify for the last available place, the allocation of the last place will be made by drawing lots. The first child drawn will be offered the place, and the remaining children placed on the waiting list in the order of the draw.

How places are decided at Bursted Wood Primary School

When there are more applications than places for 2022-23 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked after / previously looked after children — Children in Public Care (looked after children) and children previously looked after immediately before being adopted or subject to a residence or special guardianship order. To qualify for this priority, children must fall within the definition of ‘looked after’ as in section 22 (1) of the Children Act 1989. An adopted child must have been adopted under the Adoption and Children Act 2002.
2Medical condition — This is given to children with a medical condition such that it is essential, on medical grounds, for the child to attend the preferred school.

3Siblings — Siblings of children who will be attending Bursted Wood Primary School at the time the child is due for admission to the school. This priority does not include brothers or sisters due to transfer to secondary school in the next academic year. For this priority, brother or sister includes a full brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, or step/half brother or sister living at the same address. Where in an allocation of places, children who are twins, triplets or from other multiple births would qualify for fewer places than the number of children, all will be treated as siblings and therefore accorded the sibling priority.
4Staff children — In order to recruit and retain high quality staff, children with a parent or registered guardian employed at Bursted Wood Primary School on a permanent basis at the time of application will be awarded this priority in either or both of the following circumstances: a) Where the member of staff 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, and/or b) The member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage
5Distance — This gives priority to pupils living nearest to the school based on the distance from the home address to Bursted Wood Primary School. A straight line measurement is used from the front door of the home address to the pupil entrance of the school using Bexley Council’s computerised GIS system.

If two applications tie: Where one or more applicants live exactly the same distance from the school applied for and all would qualify for the last available place, the allocation of the last place will be made by drawing lots. The first child drawn will be offered the place, and the remaining children placed on the waiting list in the order of the draw.

The school will admit pupils with statements of special educational need naming the school, where the school has agreed that it can meet that child’s needs (this is not numbered as part of the ordered oversubscription criteria).

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
