When Oasis Academy Coulsdon has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after children, previously looked after children, and internationally previously looked after children — LAC are children in public care at the date of application. PLAC are children who were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order immediately after being looked after. IAPLAC are children who have been in state care outside England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. Supporting letter from the relevant Local Authority Children's Services Department required; 2. Children who have an exceptional social and/or medical need which makes Oasis Academy Coulsdon the most appropriate mainstream school for them — The circumstances might relate to either the child or the parent/carer. Supporting evidence from a professional is required (doctor/consultant for medical cases; social worker, health visitor, housing officer, police or probation officer for social circumstances) confirming the circumstances and why the child should attend this particular school. Common medical conditions and allergies, and routine child-minding arrangements, would not normally qualify; 3. Children of Staff at the Academy — Children of staff directly employed by the Academy where the member of staff has been employed at the Academy for two or more years at the time of the application, and/or the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage, and 2 further criteria.

Tie-break: Where the number of applications exceeds the places available within any of the above categories, distance is used to decide between applications. Where there are insufficient places to admit two or more siblings within one family, or where there is no difference in distance from home to the academy for two or more children, random allocation is used to allocate the final available place(s), independently verified.
