When Sudbury Primary School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked After Children (children in public care) and children who were looked after or ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order) — An application for admission to school must provide evidence of being in public care or previously in care prior to adoption. Usually this will be evidenced by the child's social worker; 2. Children for whom it is essential to be admitted to Sudbury Primary School because of special circumstances to do with significant medical needs, social needs or special educational needs — Anyone can make an application under this criterion; however, the application must be supported with a recommendation in writing from a recognised professional of senior status, medical consultant, Headteacher of another school or other appropriate officer. The recommendation for Sudbury Primary School should demonstrate knowledge of the school in terms of resources and organisation, which deems it essential that the child be admitted here. This criterion must relate to the child's medical, social or special needs and not those of another member of the family; 3. Siblings of a child who already attends Sudbury Primary School and who will continue to do so on the date of admission — Sibling refers to brother or sister, half brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, stepbrother or sister, or the child of the parent/carer's partner where the child for whom the school place is sought is living in the same family unit at the same address as that sibling, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 120 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Where applications exceed the places available within any of the criteria (or sub criteria), places will be allocated according to the proximity of the pupil's home to the school measured by the shortest distance. The distance from home to school will be measured by straight line, from a point in the property to a point in the school determined by the grid references for the centre of the school's post code.
