How places are decided at Lace Hill Academy

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 — Looked after children and all previously looked after children
2Sibling in catchment — Children who have a sibling continuing at the school at the time of admission and who live within the defined catchment area
3Catchment area — Children who live in the defined catchment area
4Children of staff — Children of staff at the school, in either or both of the following circumstances: a) Where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time which the application for admission to the school is made, and or b) The member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skills shortage

If two applications tie: If two or more applications cannot otherwise be separated and there is only one place available, computerised random allocation will be used to determine who should be allocated the place.

Places will first be allocated to children who have an EHC Plan that names the school as appropriate provision (not a numbered criterion). If the admission number is exceeded within any criterion, priority given to those living closest to the school.

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.
