Medical or Social — Children for whom it can be demonstrated that they have a particular medical or social need to go to the school.

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, using an individual random number assigned between 1 and 1 million against each preference school, with the lowest number given priority.

How places are decided at Woodside Primary School

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.

1Looked 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.
2Medical 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.
3Sibling — 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.
4Children of Staff — Children whose parent is a member of staff who has been employed at the school concerned for two or more years at the time of application and/or children of a member of staff who has been recruited to fill a vacancy for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
5Nearest School — Children for whom it is their 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.
6Distance — Children who live nearest to the school. Children not considered under rule 5 will be considered under rule 6.

If two applications tie: 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, using an individual random number assigned between 1 and 1 million against each preference school, with the lowest number given priority.

Rules applied in the order printed. For rules 2-4, if more children qualify than places available, the next rule is used to further prioritise. Sibling criterion applies from Reception through Year 5 only. Children of staff must relate to staff employed at Woodside Primary School specifically; children of staff employed elsewhere within Ivy Learning Trust cannot be prioritised under this rule.

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.
