How places are decided at Pauntley Church of England Primary School

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 — A 'looked after child' or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements order or special guardianship order.
2Sibling — Children who will have siblings attending the school at the time the applicant child is admitted. In the case of infant schools, a sibling connection is also established if an older child is attending the companion junior school.
3Strongest geographical claim — Children with the strongest geographical claim, measured in a straight line from the Ordnance Survey address point of the child's home address (including flats) to the Ordnance Survey address point of the school, using the Local Authority's computerised measuring system, with those living closer to the school receiving the higher priority.

Oversubscription criteria for Gloucestershire community and voluntary controlled infant and primary schools, transcribed verbatim from the council’s determined arrangements for September 2027 entry. Where a category is oversubscribed, the strongest geographical claim (straight-line distance) decides which child is offered a place. In the event of a tie on that distance, the Local Authority follows a manual process of random allocation overseen by an independent person from the Legal Services Team; twins and children of multiple births in a random allocation are treated as one applicant. Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan are placed through the SEN Code of Practice, not through these criteria.

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.
