How are Reception places decided at Oakleaf Primary?

When Oakleaf Primary has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Children looked after and previously looked after — Children looked after and children who were previously looked after, including those who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England, and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted or became subject to a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order; 2. Medical or social need — Children for whom it can be demonstrated that they have a particular medical or social need to go to the school. A panel of governors will determine whether the evidence is sufficiently compelling to meet the requirements for this rule. The evidence must relate specifically to the school applied for under Rule 2 and must clearly demonstrate why it is the only school that can meet the child's needs; 3. Sibling — Children who have a sibling on roll of the school at the time of application, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 50 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Where there is a need for a tie-breaker where two different addresses measure the same distance from a school, in the case of a block of flats for example the lower door number will be deemed nearest as logically this will be on the ground floor and therefore closer. If there are two identical addresses of separate applicants, the tie break will be random allocation. Every child entered onto the county council's admissions database has an individual random number assigned, between 1 and 1 million, against each preference school. When there is a need for a final tie break this random number is used to allocate the place, with the lowest number given priority.

How places are decided at Oakleaf Primary

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.

1Children looked after and previously looked after — Children looked after and children who were previously looked after, including those who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England, and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted or became subject to a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order.
2Medical or social need — Children for whom it can be demonstrated that they have a particular medical or social need to go to the school. A panel of governors will determine whether the evidence is sufficiently compelling to meet the requirements for this rule. The evidence must relate specifically to the school applied for under Rule 2 and must clearly demonstrate why it is the only school that can meet the child's needs.
3Sibling — Children who have a sibling on roll of the school at the time of application.
4Nearest School — Children for whom it is the nearest school or academy. This includes all schools except those which allocate places on the basis of faith (membership or practice) before allocating on the basis of distance/location.
5Distance — Children who live nearest the school. (Straight line system of measurement from a child's home address point to the address point of the school will be used for all admission distances).

If two applications tie: Where there is a need for a tie-breaker where two different addresses measure the same distance from a school, in the case of a block of flats for example the lower door number will be deemed nearest as logically this will be on the ground floor and therefore closer. If there are two identical addresses of separate applicants, the tie break will be random allocation. Every child entered onto the county council's admissions database has an individual random number assigned, between 1 and 1 million, against each preference school. When there is a need for a final tie break this random number is used to allocate the place, with the lowest number given priority.

Document references 'Rule 6 (Distance)' on the application form documentation checklist, but the main policy text only lists Rules 1-5, with Rule 5 referring applicants who don't qualify to 'Rule 6' without printing its criterion wording. 30 nursery places also stated (non-statutory, no formal appeal right).

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.
