How are Reception places decided at Filton Avenue Primary School?

When Filton Avenue 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. Applications in this category may need to be supported by documentary evidence confirming the child's status, such as a signed letter from the child's social worker or former social worker confirming their current or previous status, an adoption, child arrangements or special guardianship order. In the case of children adopted from state care outside England (as defined above), evidence of having been in state care outside England and of being adopted will be required. Ideally, this should be received by the application deadline in the normal admission round. When assessing the evidence provided, the DfE's guidance (accessible here) will be followed. Where the Virtual School Head has already verified the child's status, parents should let the Local Authority/School know, as there should be no need for further evidence to be provided in this case; 2. Children with a sibling at Filton Avenue Primary School — The sibling must attend Filton Avenue 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. For the avoidance of doubt, a child of a friend or extended family member (e.g. cousin) will not be a 'sibling' for this purpose, even if they live at the same address as the applicant child. For inclusion in this category, parents must state the sibling's details in the application form; 3. All other children — This category will include all children who do not fall into any of the oversubscription categories above. The school offers 90 places at this entry point. Tie-break: 7.1 Where there are more applications than places remaining in any of the oversubscription categories, the order in which places will be allocated will be determined by the distance between the child's home address (as defined by this policy) and the School, with those living nearest receiving highest priority. 7.2 Distance will be measured in a straight line from the designated point in the child's home address to the Filton Avenue Primary School, Lockleaze Road, Bristol, BS7 9RP designated point within the school building, both of which are defined by the Local Land and Property Gazetteer, using Bristol City Council's 's dedicated computerised mapping system for this purpose. 7.3 Where the child lives in a multi-dwelling building (for example, an apartment block), distance will be measured from same designated point in the building so that the distance will be the same for all children.
