How are Reception places decided at Parson Street Primary School?

When Parson Street 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 — 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, in England. A 'previously looked after child' is a child who was looked after in England, but ceased to be so because they were adopted, or became subject to a child arrangements or special guardianship order, as well as a child who appears to us to have been in state care outside of England (i.e. in the care of or accommodated by a public authority, religious organisation or any other provider whose sole/main purpose is to benefit society), but ceased to be so as a result of being adopted; 2. Children with a sibling at Parson Street Primary School — The sibling must attend Parson Street Primary School in Reception Year to Year 6 at the time of application/the application deadline and when the applicant child is admitted. For the purpose of this category, a 'sibling' is a full sibling (sharing both parents), a half sibling (sharing one parent), an adopted sibling, a long term foster sibling (i.e. not a temporary placement), a step sibling (one child's parent married to the other child's parent), or a child of their parent's cohabiting partner. In all cases, the sibling must live at the child's home address (as defined by this policy) as part of the same core family unit; 3. All other children — This category will include all children who do not fall into any of the oversubscription categories above. The school offers 30 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Distance between the child's home address and the School, with those living nearest receiving highest priority, measured in a straight line from the designated point in the child's home address to the designated point within the school building, both of which are defined by the Local Land and Property Gazetteer, using Bristol City Council's dedicated computerised mapping system. Where two or more children live an equal distance from the School, the order in which places are allocated will be determined by random allocation supervised by someone who is independent of the School.

1Looked after and 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, in England.

3All other children — This category will include all children who do not fall into any of the oversubscription categories above.

If two applications tie: Distance between the child's home address and the School, with those living nearest receiving highest priority, measured in a straight line from the designated point in the child's home address to the designated point within the school building, both of which are defined by the Local Land and Property Gazetteer, using Bristol City Council's dedicated computerised mapping system. Where two or more children live an equal distance from the School, the order in which places are allocated will be determined by random allocation supervised by someone who is independent of the School.

Children with an Education Health and Care Plan are admitted under separate statutory procedures and allocated places before all other applicants, reducing the number of places within the PAN. Twins, triplets and siblings of higher multiple birth may be admitted as 'excepted pupils' even if this exceeds the PAN.
