How places are decided at St John the Baptist Voluntary Aided Church of England Primary School

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 / previously looked after child — A looked-after child or a child who was previously looked after, but ceased to be so because, immediately after being looked after, they became subject to an adoption, child arrangements or special guardianship order. This includes those 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.
2Foundation place - church attendance — Children whose parent(s) regularly attend* St John's Hoxton. A supplementary information form is to be completed confirming eligibility for a foundation place with the vicar of St John's Hoxton.
3Sibling — Child(ren) who have a sibling attending the school at the time they would attend.
4Staff child — Child(ren) of staff** employed at St John the Baptist C of E Primary School.
5Acute medical or social need — Children whose acute medical or social needs justify the allocation of a place at the school. Please note supporting evidence needs to be submitted to the school from a doctor or social worker at time of application. The supporting documents need to set out the particular reasons why this school is the most suitable and the difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend another.
6All other children

If two applications tie: In all criteria applicants will be ranked from the closest distance to the furthest distance from the school. This measurement is determined from the distance from the school's front office on Crondall street to the applicant's main residence. If two applicants live exactly the same distance the allocation of the place will be determined by random selection which will be carried out by the Admissions Committee in the presence of an independent witness.

The school will admit up to 30 places (unless opened to 60 places) to children to the Reception classes each year. Governors have decided that 15 places will be foundation places and 15 places will be open places or the same ratio following admission of children in public care. If a vacancy in one category (Foundation/Open) cannot be filled by children meeting that category's criteria, governors will consider children using the other category's 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.
