How are Reception places decided at Charter Academy?

When Charter Academy 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 who, at the time of admission, are in the care of a local authority or are provided with accommodation by the authority (looked after children). Also children who were previously looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted, or became subject to a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order. This also includes those children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. A looked-after child is defined in Section 22 of the Children Act 1989; 2. Catchment area sibling — Children who live in the catchment area served by the school, who have a brother or sister attending the school provided that the brother or sister will continue to attend that school the following year; 3. Other catchment area children — Other children who live in the catchment area served by the school, and 3 further criteria. Tie-break: If it is not possible to admit all applicants in any one of the categories described above, priority will be determined by the proximity of the child's home to the Academy. A straight line measurement will be made, using a computerised mapping system, from the centre of the child's residence to the centre of the academy site. The address used must be the child's permanent home address. The shortest measurement will have the highest priority. Where the final place in a year group can be taken by two or more children living an equal distance from the Academy as described above, the admission authority will select by drawing lots. This will be supervised by someone independent of the school.
