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: If there are more children applying than places available in any given priority, the available places will be offered to those children living closest to the school up to the published admission number, measured by shortest route using Ordnance Survey data. Where distances are equal, the place will be allocated randomly by computer using a unique 6-digit random number.
Local-authority coordinated default oversubscription criteria for Brighton & Hove City Council's community and voluntary-controlled schools (the council is the admission authority). Some community/voluntary-controlled schools in this authority apply catchment-area, feeder-school or priority-area variants — check the individual school for its exact arrangements. Priority 4 (linked infant/junior transfer) only applies to specific paired schools (Downs Infant/Downs Junior, Patcham Infant/Patcham Junior, West Hove Infant Portland Road/Hove Junior Portland Road, West Hove Infant Holland Road/Hove Junior Holland Road), meaning not all community schools use identical criteria in practice. Several primary academies (Woodingdean, West Blatchington, Benfield, Hangleton, Moulsecoomb) also use these same Section 4 priorities, while City Academy Whitehawk has its own separate arrangements in Section 5.
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.
