Eggar's School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1Looked after / previously looked after children — Children who are in the care of a Local Authority (LA), or have been previously in the care of a Local Authority (including those who left care through adoption, a child arrangements order or special guardianship order, and children previously in state care outside of England who ceased to be in state care through adoption).
2. 2Staff children — Priority is given to children of staff employed at Eggar's School by the Weydon Multi Academy Trust, where the staff member has been employed at Eggar's School for 2 or more years at the final date for admissions applications (with employment address/place of work at Eggar's School), or their employment meets an identified skills shortage at the school. The home address for the student must be the same as the staff member's home address. A Supplementary Information Form is required.
3. 3Exceptional circumstances (social or medical) — A small number of students for whom Exceptional, Social or Medical circumstances apply which warrant a place at this particular school, supported by documentation on a Supplementary Information Form as to why the child should attend this school and why no other school could meet the child's needs.
4. 4Siblings — Priority to students who have a sibling on roll at the school at the time of application (brother/sister, half-, adopted, foster or step-sibling, or child of the parent's partner, living in the same family unit Monday to Friday), where the sibling is expected to remain on roll when the child is admitted. Sibling priority also applies where the sibling has a final EHCP naming the school and is expected to start on or before the applicant's admission.
5. 5Children attending a named linked school — In alphabetical order: Andrew's Endowed Church of England Primary School; Bentley Church of England Primary School; Binsted Church of England Primary School; Crondall Primary School; Four Marks Church of England Primary School; Ropley Church of England Primary School; Rowledge Church of England Primary School; Selborne Church of England Primary School; Wootey Junior School. All linked schools are treated on an equal basis. For initial allocation the child must be on roll at a linked school on the closing date for applications (or, after 1 March until end of summer term, on the date the offer is made).
6. 6Any other applicant — Remaining places will be offered on the basis of nearness to the school.

If two applications tie: If oversubscription occurs within any category, remaining places are offered based on proximity of the child's home address to the school, measured in a straight line from the Ordnance Survey home address point to the school address point using Hampshire County Council's GIS. Where two or more applicants share equal priority (e.g. equidistant), the place is allocated by random selection, drawn from a container in the presence of at least two senior officers from the Weydon Multi Academy Trust Central Team who are independent of the school's admissions process. For multiple births or siblings born in the same academic year, if one child is offered a place, the other(s) will also be offered a place if ranked consecutively, even if this exceeds the PAN (no further places are then offered until the total falls to PAN minus one).

Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan naming the school are also admitted and count within the PAN (stated ahead of the numbered list, not itself a numbered criterion). Waiting lists for Year 7 (Spring/Summer Terms) are ranked using the admissions criteria excluding Criterion 5 (linked schools).

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.
