Including those who appear (to the admissions authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in care as a result of being adopted; 2. Feeder infant school (Copper Valley Juniors only) — Children who attend Copper Valley Infants and Nursery where application for admission to Copper Valley Juniors is made; 3. Siblings — Children with siblings who will still be attending the school at the time of their admission, and 3 further criteria. The school offers 12 places at this entry point.

Should the tie-breakers above still leave children with an equal claim because distances are exactly the same; or in the case of Copper Valley Juniors they attend the same feeder infant school (Copper Valley Infants and Nursery), random allocation will be used to decide on priority.

1Children in care / previously in care — Children in care and children who were previously in care but immediately after being in care became subject to an Adoption, Child Arrangement, or Special Guardianship Order. Including those who appear (to the admissions authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in care as a result of being adopted.
2Feeder infant school (Copper Valley Juniors only) — Children who attend Copper Valley Infants and Nursery where application for admission to Copper Valley Juniors is made.
3Siblings — Children with siblings who will still be attending the school at the time of their admission.
4Children of staff — Children of a member of staff who has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, and/or has been recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.

Should the tie-breakers above still leave children with an equal claim because distances are exactly the same; or in the case of Copper Valley Juniors they attend the same feeder infant school (Copper Valley Infants and Nursery), random allocation will be used to decide on priority.

Criterion 2 (feeder infant school) applies specifically to Copper Valley Juniors, not to Brunel Primary and Nursery Academy, but is published as part of the shared oversubscription criteria list applicable to all named schools including Brunel. Trust-wide admission arrangements: one determined document covers every member academy named in it (this school included); the oversubscription criteria were extracted once from that document and apply to each member. The school's own published admission number is held separately.

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.
