How are Reception places decided at Harris Primary Academy Philip Lane?

When Harris Primary Academy Philip Lane has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after and previously looked after children — A 'looked after child' is a child who is (a) in the care of a Local Authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a Local Authority in the exercise of their social services functions, in England. A 'previously looked after child' is a child who was looked after in England, but ceased to be so because they were adopted, or became subject to a child arrangements or special guardianship order, as well as a child who appears to the Admission Committee (on behalf of the Trust) to have been in state care outside of England, but ceased to be so as a result of being adopted. Applications in this category must be accompanied by supporting evidence, such as a signed letter from the child's social worker or former social worker confirming their current or previous status, an adoption or special guardianship order, and/or satisfactory documentary evidence of having been in state care outside of England, to be received by the application deadline in the normal admission round; 2. Children with an Exceptional Medical or Social Need — For inclusion in this category, the child must have an exceptional social and/or medical need which means that only Harris Primary Academy Philip Lane is suitable for the child to attend, and no other local school is suitable, supported by an appropriate professional. It must be the applicant child who has the exceptional social and/or medical need, not any other person. Applications must be accompanied by a completed Exceptional Social and/or Medical Need Supplementary Information Form, to be received by the application deadline; 3. Children with siblings at the Academy — The sibling must attend the Academy in Reception Year to Year 6 at the time of application/the application deadline and when the applicant child is admitted. 'Sibling' includes full, half, adopted, long-term foster, step siblings, or a child of the parent's cohabiting partner, provided they live at the child's home address as part of the same core family unit. Parents must state the sibling's details in the application form, and 3 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Where there are more applications than places remaining in any of the oversubscription categories, the order in which places will be allocated will be determined by the distance between the child's home address and the Academy, with those living nearest receiving highest priority. Where two or more children live an equal distance from the Academy, the order in which places are allocated will be determined by random allocation supervised by someone who is independent of the Academy.
