When Oasis Academy Shirley Park Primary has more applications than places for 2026-27, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Children in public care (looked after and previously looked after children) — Children in public care (looked after children and previously looked after children). Looked after children are children who are in the care of local authorities as defined by Section 22 of the Children Act 1989. In relation to school admissions legislation a ‘looked after child’ is a child in public care at the time of application to a school. Previously looked after children 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). Any application made within the “looked after” category must be supported by a letter from the relevant LA (Children’s Services) Department. If applying under the “previously looked after children” criterion a copy of the adoption or special guardianship order must also be supplied; 2. Siblings — Children whose sibling(s) currently attend the Academy and who will continue to do so on the date of admission. The term “sibling” means a full, half, adopted or fostered brother or sister. Sibling criteria may apply where, at the time of application, a sibling is expected to be on roll when the child starts at the Academy. If the sibling unexpectedly leaves the Academy after the offer has been made, the place must not be withdrawn on these grounds. The Academy will request proof of relationship; 3. Children of staff members — Children whose parent is a member of staff who has been employed by the Academy for two or more years at the time at which the admission application is made, and/or has been recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage. This applies to all substantive roles within the academy, and 1 further criteria. The school offers 90 places at this entry point. Tie-break: If there are more children who have equal ranking based on the over subscription criteria than there are places remaining within each criterion, the children will be ranked according to proximity of their home address to the Academy with the child living nearest being ranked higher. Distance will be calculated using the Local Authority’s computerised system (GIS). If two or more children live the same distance then random allocation will be used to allocate the final available place(s). This will be independently verified.

4Proximity to the Academy — Children who live nearest to the Academy are calculated using the Local Authority’s computerised system.

Those living closer to the school will receive higher priority. If a child lives in a shared property such as flats, the geographical references will determine the start point within the property boundaries to be used for distance calculation purposes. If two or more children live the same distance then random allocation will be used to allocate the final available place(s). This will be independently verified. The distance is measured from the front gate of the Long Lane Site (Longhurst Road).
