How are Reception places decided at Peartree Primary School?

When Peartree Primary School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after / previously looked after children — 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 — Children for whom it can be demonstrated that they have a particular medical or social need to go to the school. A panel of HCC officers will determine whether the evidence provided is sufficiently compelling to meet the requirements for this rule. The evidence must relate specifically to Peartree Primary School and must clearly demonstrate why Peartree Primary School is the only school that can meet the child's needs; 3. Sibling — Children who have a sibling on the roll of the school or linked school at the time of application. This applies to reception through to Year 5, and 3 further criteria. The school offers 30 places at this entry point. Tie-break: When there is a need for a tie break where two different addresses are the same distance from a school, in the case of a block of flats for example, the lower door number will be deemed nearest... If there are two identical addresses of separate applicants, the tie break will be random. Every child entered onto the HCC 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 the random number is used to allocate the place, with the lowest number given priority.
