How are Reception places decided at Queensgate Foundation Primary?

When Queensgate Foundation Primary 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' or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order. 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 (see the definition in section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989.) at the time of making an application to a school; 2. Medical condition — Pupils with a specific medical condition, confirmed and supported by a registered health professional, which makes a particular school the most appropriate. (Any application for a place at a particular school for medical reasons must be supported by independent medical evidence from a registered health professional and must be supplied by the closing date of midnight on 15th January 2027. The evidence must name the school and state the reasons why attendance at the school is essential and the difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend another school.); 3. Sibling — Children who at the time of application have an elder sibling who is already at the school and who will still be in attendance at the school in September 2027, and 3 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point. Tie-break: If there are more applicants than remaining places within any of the above criteria the home-to-school distance will be used as a tiebreaker with those living closer being offered places first. We will measure in a straight line using the local authority's geographical information system (GIS) from the home address to the centre of the school building. In the event of a tie between two or more children when applying home-to-school distance as a tiebreaker and where there are not enough places available to offer all those children a place at the school, a random allocation will be carried out by the Local Authority in the form of a 'lucky dip' which will be overseen by an independent person from the Corporate Governance Team.
