How are Reception places decided at Victoria Primary School?

When Victoria Primary School has more applications than places for 2026-27, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after and previously looked after children — A child who, at the time of application, is in the care of a local authority, or being provided with accommodation by a local authority, in the exercise of their social services functions. A "previously looked after child" is one who is no longer looked after, in England or Wales, because they were immediately adopted or subject to a special guardianship or child arrangements order in relation to whom the child lives. A child is regarded as being in state care outside of England if they are accommodated by a public authority, a religious organisation or any other provider of care whose sole purpose is to benefit society; 2. Children with special social or medical reasons — We will only consider applications on social or medical grounds if they are supported by a professional recommendation from a doctor, social worker, or other appropriate professional. The supporting evidence should set out the particular social or medical reasons why the school in question is the only school and the difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend another school; 3. Children living within the Priority Area with siblings at the school — The school's Priority Area can be found here. See above for definition of sibling. Please note that living in the Priority Area and having siblings does not guarantee a place at the school in the event that the number of applicants exceeds the number of places available, and 3 further criteria. The school offers 45 places at this entry point. Tie-break: If there are not enough places for all the children in one of these priority groups, priority will be given, in order, to those living nearest the school. All distance measurements are based on the straight-line route from the Ordnance Survey address point of a child's permanent home address to school's main entrance. If two, or more, applicants live an equal distance from the school, a random allocation will be used.
