How are Reception places decided at Clare House Primary School?

When Clare House 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 — Children with the status of looked after children or previously looked after children at the time the application is submitted will be allocated places in this category. 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 arrangement or residence order, or a special guardianship order, as well as a child who appears to the Admission Authority 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 an Exceptional Medical/Social Need — Children with an exceptional medical and/or social need which means that only Clare House Primary School is suitable for them to attend, and no other school within a reasonable distance from the child's home address (as defined by this policy) would be suitable, will be allocated places within this category; 3. Children with a Sibling at Clare House Primary School — Children who will have a sibling attending Clare House Primary School at the time of application and who will still be on the roll at the time of their admission will be allocated places in this category. In this category, a 'sibling' is defined as a natural or adopted brother or sister (sharing one or both parents), a foster brother or sister (a looked after child being cared for by one or both parents), a step brother or sister (where one child's parent is married to the other child's parent) or the child of the parent's permanently cohabiting partner, and in all cases the sibling must live with the applicant child as part of the same core family unit at the child's home address (as defined by this policy), and 2 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Distance will be measured in a straight line from the easting and northing coordinates for the child's home address (or block of flats in which the child's home address is located) to the front door of the School, using London Borough of Bromley's electronic measuring software system which uses Ordnance Survey's GIS references. Where two or more applications cannot be separated because the children live an equal distance from the School (including where they live in the same block of flats), the order in which places will be allocated will be determined by the drawing of lots supervised by somebody independent of the Trust and the School.

What is the largest ethnic background at Clare House Primary School?

How places are decided at Clare House Primary School

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.

1Looked After and Previously Looked After Children — Children with the status of looked after children or previously looked after children at the time the application is submitted will be allocated places in this category. 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 arrangement or residence order, or a special guardianship order, as well as a child who appears to the Admission Authority 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.
2Children with an Exceptional Medical/Social Need — Children with an exceptional medical and/or social need which means that only Clare House Primary School is suitable for them to attend, and no other school within a reasonable distance from the child's home address (as defined by this policy) would be suitable, will be allocated places within this category.
3Children with a Sibling at Clare House Primary School — Children who will have a sibling attending Clare House Primary School at the time of application and who will still be on the roll at the time of their admission will be allocated places in this category. In this category, a 'sibling' is defined as a natural or adopted brother or sister (sharing one or both parents), a foster brother or sister (a looked after child being cared for by one or both parents), a step brother or sister (where one child's parent is married to the other child's parent) or the child of the parent's permanently cohabiting partner, and in all cases the sibling must live with the applicant child as part of the same core family unit at the child's home address (as defined by this policy).
4Children of Staff Members at Clare House Primary School — Children of staff members (i.e. full or part time teaching and non-teaching staff) employed by the admission authority at Clare House Primary School who: a) have been continuously employed for two or more years at the date that the application is submitted; or b) were recruited to fill a vacant post for which there was a demonstrable skill shortage; will be allocated places in this category, with neither sub-category having priority over the other.
5All Other Children — All children not falling into any of the categories above will be allocated places in this category.

If two applications tie: Distance will be measured in a straight line from the easting and northing coordinates for the child's home address (or block of flats in which the child's home address is located) to the front door of the School, using London Borough of Bromley's electronic measuring software system which uses Ordnance Survey's GIS references. Where two or more applications cannot be separated because the children live an equal distance from the School (including where they live in the same block of flats), the order in which places will be allocated will be determined by the drawing of lots supervised by somebody independent of the Trust and the School.

Children with an EHC plan naming the School are admitted before other applications are processed, reducing the number of places available within the PAN. Twins/triplets of a higher multiple birth where one sibling achieves a place will be admitted even if this exceeds PAN. Waiting list operated by LBB until 31 December following September entry; children allocated under Fair Access Protocol take precedence over the waiting list.

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.
