- When Hatchell Wood Primary Academy has more applications than places for 2026-27, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked After Children / Previously Looked After Children — Looked After Children or all Previously Looked After Children; 2. Catchment 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; 3. Siblings — 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, and 1 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point. Tie-break: 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.
