How are Reception places decided at Cage Green Primary School?

When Cage Green Primary School 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 (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989) at the time of making an application to a school. A previously looked after child means such children who were adopted (or subject to child arrangements orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been looked after and those children 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; 2. Exceptional social and/or medical need — Children with an exceptional social and/or medical need, or who have a close family member with an exceptional social and/or medical need. For inclusion in this category, either the child or a close family member living with the child at the child's home address, must have an exceptional social and/or medical need which means that only Cage Green Primary School is suitable for the child to attend, and no other local school is suitable, supported by evidence from an appropriate professional; 3. Sibling at the school — Children with a sibling at Cage Green Primary School. For inclusion in this category, the sibling must attend Cage Green Primary School at the time of application/the application deadline and when the applicant child is admitted, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 30 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 School, with those living nearest receiving highest priority. Where two or more children live an equal distance from the School (including where they live in the same multi-dwelling building), the order in which places are allocated will be determined by the drawing of lots supervised by somebody independent of the Trust and the School.
