When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: When demand exceeds places in any of the oversubscription criteria, the distance between the child’s home (see Note 15.4) and the school, measured by a straight line distance from the Ordnance Survey address point of the home to the main entrance to the school building, will be used to decide who is given a place, those living nearest being given the available places. Where the offer of places to applicants with equi-distant addresses would lead to oversubscription, the decision of who will be offered the place will be made by random selection.
Knowleswood Primary School falls under section 9.2 'All other Exceed Academies Trust Mainstream Schools', which sets out generic oversubscription criteria applicable to all Trust mainstream schools except Cottingley Village Primary School (which has its own priority-area based criteria) and Bowling Park Primary School (site-specific application). The PAN table in section 2.1 is explicitly labelled 'for 2026/27' even though the overall policy document is titled 'Admissions Policy 2027/28'; the PAN of 30 for Knowleswood Primary School is taken directly from that table as no separate 2027/28 PAN table is printed.
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.
