How are Reception places decided at Hampton Primary School?

When Hampton 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 one who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of its social services functions (Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989) at the time of application. A previously looked after child is one adopted, or made subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order, immediately after being looked after, and includes children who appear to the admission authority to have been in state care outside England and ceased to be so as a result of being adopted; 2. Sibling / current family association — A brother or sister attending Hampton Primary School when the child starts. Brother or sister means children who live as brother or sister in the same house, including natural, adopted, step and foster siblings. The sibling link holds as long as the family live at the same address as when the first child applied, or have moved closer to the school, or have moved to an address less than 2 miles from the school; 3. Medical, health and special access reasons — Medical, health, social and special access reasons applied in accordance with the school’s legal obligations and in particular the Equality Act 2010. Priority is given where a child’s mental or physical impairment means they have a demonstrable and significant need to attend this school, and equally where a parent’s or guardian’s physical or mental health or social needs create that need. Claims must be supported by written evidence from a suitably qualified medical or other practitioner who can demonstrate a special connection between the need and this school, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 90 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Nearness of the child’s home to the school, measured in a straight line using NLPG address points. Where more than one applicant is the same distance from the school, a random selection is applied.
