How are Reception places decided at Hill View Primary Academy?

When Hill View Primary Academy has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after and previously looked after children — Looked after children and all previously looked after children. A 'looked after child' is a child who is (a) in the care of a Local Authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a Local Authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989) at the time of making an application to a school. Previously looked after children are children who were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order). All references to previously looked after children mean such children who were adopted (or subject to child arrangements orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been looked after and those children who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted; 2. Sibling — Children with a sibling already attending this school at the time of admission. Children will be classed as siblings if they live at the same home address as defined in this policy, as a single-family unit. This includes a natural or adopted brother or sister, step-brother or sister, a natural, adopted or foster child of a cohabiting partner, or a foster brother or sister. In all cases the sibling must live with the applicant child as part of the same core family unit. Children who are children of friends or cousins living in the same household with different parents/carers are not included; 3. Staff children — Children whose parent/carer is a member of staff employed on a permanent contract at this school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made or where the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage, evidenced by completion of the Staff Supplementary Information Form. (This all covers staff working at the school to which the application relates but does not include staff who work on the school site for other employers), and 1 further criteria. Tie-break: If oversubscribed within any of the priority order categories above, places will be allocated on the basis of the shortest straight-line measurement using the Local Authority's geographical information system which identifies the Easting and Northing for the home address and calculates the distance between the two locations. In the event that it is not possible to distinguish between applications despite applying the priority categories above, the remaining place(s) will be allocated using a random allocation process. The process will be electronically administered by BCP through the IT providers in use at the time.
