When Malmesbury Park Primary School 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); 2. Siblings — 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; 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, and 1 further criteria. The school offers 90 places at this entry point. 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, electronically administered by BCP through the IT providers in use at the time (at the time of setting this policy the provider was Synergy).
