- How are Reception places decided at Queen Margaret Primary Academy?
- When Queen Margaret Primary Academy has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after children or previously looked after children; 2. Children with a sibling at Queen Margaret Primary Academy at the time of application and admission. The siblin — Children with a sibling at Queen Margaret Primary Academy at the time of application and admission. The sibling must be on the roll in any year group at Queen Margaret Primary Academy at the time of application, and will still be on the roll when the applicant child starts at the Academy. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that siblings in Year 6 who will have left at the time the applicant child starts school will not meet this criteria. A 'sibling' is a full brother or sister (sharing both parents), a half brother or sister (sharing one parent), an adopted brother or sister (sharing one or both parents), a foster brother or sister on a long term placement (a looked after child), a step brother or sister (where one child's parent is married or in a civil partnership with the other child's parent) and a child of the applicant's parent's partner. In all cases, the sibling must live at the applicant child's home address (as defined in this policy) as part of the same core family unit. For the avoidance of doubt, a child of an extended family member (e.g. cousin, grandchild), or the child of a friend, will not meet this criteria even if they live at the same address as the applicant child; 3. Children with the strongest geographical claim, measured in a straight line from the Ordinance Survey address — Children with the strongest geographical claim, measured in a straight line from the Ordinance Survey address point of the child’s home address (including flats)* to the Ordinance Survey address point of the school using the Local Authority’s computerised measuring system, with those living closer to the school receiving high priority. All applicant children not included in any of the categories above will be allocated places in this category. *The child's home address is the residential (not business) address at which they will live and sleep for more than 50% of their time from Sunday to Thursday night each week during term time, at the time of their admission. In the rare cases where the child lives with more than one parent and their pattern of overnight stays with each is irregular from week to week, this should be established by considering the five term time weeks preceding the application. Further information on the address policy can be found on the school’s website. Tie-breaker: In each of the oversubscription categories above, where there are more applications than places available, the order in which places are allocated will be determined by reference to the distance between the child's home address and the Academy, with those living closer receiving higher priority. The distance from the child's home address to the Academy is measured in a straight line between the designated address point for the child’s home and the designated central point within the main school building for the Academy, using Gloucestershire County Council computerised mapping system designed for this purpose. Where two or more distances are equal (e.g. where they live in the same block of flats), the order in which places are allocated will be determined by random lottery, which will be performed in front of a person who is independent of the Academy. 102 In the case of twins, triplets or siblings of a higher multiple birth, where one or more of this sibling group. The school offers 30 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Where a category is oversubscribed, the strongest geographical claim (straight-line distance) decides who is offered a place. In the event of a tie on distance where there are not enough places for all the tied children, the Local Authority runs a random allocation — a manual process overseen by an independent person from the Legal Services Team. Twins and children from multiple births are considered as one applicant in that process.
