How places are decided at Wallbrook Primary Academy

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked after and previously looked after children — Looked after children and children who were previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to adoption, a child arrangements order, or special guardianship order. This includes 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
2Siblings of pupils currently attending — Priority will next be given to the siblings of pupils currently attending the school at the time the application is received.
3Children of staff — Priority given to children of staff who has been employed at the school for a minimum of two years at the date of application or has been recruited to fill a vacant position at the school for which there is a demonstratable shortage
4Children living closest to the school — Priority will next be given to children living closest to the school. Distance will be measured from the child's home to the front gates of the school in a straight line. Where parental responsibilities are equally shared, the home or residential address will be considered to be with the parent/carer with whom

If two applications tie: If a tie-break is necessary to determine which child is admitted, random allocation will be undertaken by the LA (or another body that is unconnected from the Academy Trust) as a tie break to decide who will be admitted. Random allocation will not be applied to multiple birth siblings from the same family tied for the final place; they will admit them all and exceed the PAN.

In accordance with the law, children with Education Health and Care Plans will be admitted where the LA has specifically named Wallbrook Primary Academy as the most appropriate placement; this is applied before the oversubscription criteria and is not itself a ranked criterion. Transcribed from the school's own determined admission arrangements as published by Dudley MBC admission arrangements directory. Children with an EHCP naming the school are admitted first; that is a statutory duty, not an oversubscription criterion.

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.
