How are Reception places decided at Four Elms Primary School?

When Four Elms 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 children and children who were previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to adoption, a child arrangements order, or special guardianship order... B. Children who appear (to the admission authority of the school) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted; 2. Current Family Association (sibling-link) — This refers to a brother or sister attending the same school when they start there and live at the same address. This includes: natural or adopted siblings; step or foster brother or sisters; those who live as brothers and sisters in the same house. This does not include cousins. The sibling claim will stand if: The family have continued to live at the same house as when the older sibling was admitted into the school, OR If the family have moved, and they have moved to within 2 miles of the school, OR If the family have moved nearer to the school. However, if the family have moved more than 2 miles from the school since the older sibling was admitted, the sibling link is broken. Unfortunately, if an older sibling is currently attending Year 6, a sibling link claim for a child applying for a Reception place intake cannot be made, as the older sibling will be transferring to secondary school when they enter; 3. Health and Special Access Reasons — 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 health or physical & social needs means they have a demonstrable and significant need to attend a particular 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 a particular school. Such claims will need to be supported by written evidence from a suitably qualified medical or other practitioner which can demonstrate a special connection between these needs and the particular school that parents feel is the only school that can accommodate these needs, and 1 further criteria. The school offers 15 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Random allocation will be used as a tie-break in the 'nearness' category above to decide who has highest priority for admission if the distance between two children's homes and the school is the same. This process will be independently verified. If a tie-break is required in earlier categories to decide who has priority for admission between two children, distance from the school will be used to decide as measured above. In the unlikely event that two or more children in all other ways have equal eligibility for the last available place at the school, the names will be issued a number and drawn randomly to decide which child should be given a place.
