How places are decided at Barnburgh Primary Academy

When there are more applications than places for 2026-27 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked After Children / Previously Looked After Children — Looked After Children or all Previously Looked After Children
2Catchment Area — Children who are ordinarily resident in the catchment area of the school. For applications for the year of entry received by the closing date, a catchment area school will be determined in relation to the address at which the pupil is ordinarily resident on that date. Once a waiting list is formed, a child’s place on that list will be updated in light of any new address.
3Siblings — Children who are living within the same family unit (e.g. stepchildren) who will be attending the requested school, (excluding nursery), at the point of admission. Where the requested school is an infant or junior school, attendance at a linked infant or junior school will be included. Where a place is only available for one child from a multiple birth i.e. twins, each child will be offered a place.
4Proximity — Children who live nearest to the requested school measured in a straight line from the centre point of the child’s ordinary place of residence, to the entrance nearest to the reception point of the school. If two or more pupils live equidistant from the school, the distance each pupil lives by road from the preferred school will be measured and the place offered to the pupil who lives nearest by this means. In the event of this being equal (e.g. in the case of flats), places will then be decided by Random Allocation.

If two applications tie: Random Allocation where distances are equal after road distance measurement (criterion d being the final tie breaker)

After admission of pupils with an EHCP naming the school, criteria a)-d) are applied in order, with each remaining criterion acting as a tie breaker, criterion d) being the final tie breaker.

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.
