How are Reception places decided at Coxheath Primary School?

When Coxheath Primary School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Children in Local Authority Care or Previously in Local Authority Care — 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... 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. Sibling attending the school — Where the child has a sibling attending the school at the time of entry. In this context a sibling is a brother or sister who live as brother or sister in the same house, including natural brothers and sisters, adopted siblings, stepbrothers or sister and foster brothers and sisters. The sibling link is maintained as long as the family lives at the same address as when the first child applied, or has moved closer to the school than when the first child was offered a place, or has moved to an address that is less than 2 miles from the school using distance measured by the method outlined in the distance criterion; 3. Medical/health or social grounds — Where there are medical/health or social grounds for admitting the child. Medical/Health, social and special access reasons will be applied in accordance with the school's legal obligations, in particular those under the Equality Act 2010. Priority will be given to those children whose mental or physical impairment means they have a demonstrable and significant need to attend only Coxheath Primary School. Equally this priority will apply to children whose parents'/guardians' physical or mental health or social needs means that they have a demonstrable and significant need to attend only Coxheath Primary School. Such claims will need to be supported by written evidence from a suitably qualified medical or other practitioner who can demonstrate a special connection between these needs and Coxheath Primary School, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point. Tie-break: In the unlikely event of a tie breaker situation the nearness of an applicant's home to school will be the decider. If in the event more than one applicant has the same distance from home to school (as measured by the local authority), then a random selection will be applied. This will be independently supervised.

How places are decided at Coxheath 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.

1Children in Local Authority Care or Previously in Local Authority Care — 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... 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.

3Medical/health or social grounds — Where there are medical/health or social grounds for admitting the child.

Priority will be given to those children whose mental or physical impairment means they have a demonstrable and significant need to attend only Coxheath Primary School.

Such claims will need to be supported by written evidence from a suitably qualified medical or other practitioner who can demonstrate a special connection between these needs and Coxheath Primary School.
4Children of Staff — Children of staff where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, and/or the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
5Proximity of home to school — Proximity of the child's home address to the school, with those living nearer being accorded the higher priority. A child's home address is considered to be a residential property that is the child's only or main residence and which is either owned by the child's parent, parents or guardians or leased or rented to them under a lease or written rental agreement. Proof of a child's main residence will be required. The distance is measured between the child's permanent home address and the school measured in a straight line using the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) address point data.

If two applications tie: In the unlikely event of a tie breaker situation the nearness of an applicant's home to school will be the decider. If in the event more than one applicant has the same distance from home to school (as measured by the local authority), then a random selection will be applied. This will be independently supervised.

Priority is given first, before application of the oversubscription criteria, to children whose EHCP names the school (statutory requirement, not numbered as part of the criteria list). Special provisions noted for multiple births exceeding PAN and infant class size legislation exceptions.

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.
