How are Reception places decided at Hamstreet Primary Academy?

When Hamstreet Primary Academy has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after Children 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 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. A child is regarded as having been in state care outside of England if they were in the care of or were accommodated by a public authority, a religious organisation, or any other provider of care whose sole or main purpose is to benefit society; 2. Current Family Association (sibling) — a brother or sister (sibling) attending the academy when the child starts. In this context brother or sister means children who live as brother or sister in the same house, including natural brothers and sisters, adopted siblings, stepbrothers or sisters and foster brothers and sisters. The sibling link is maintained as long as the family live at the same address as when the first child applied, or have moved closer to the academy than when the first child was offered a place, or have moved to an address that is less than 2 miles from the academy using the distance measured by the method outlined in the distance/nearness of children's home to academy criterion; 3. Children of staff at the school — Where the member of staff has been employed at the academy for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the academy is made, and/or the member of staff is recruited to a post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 45 places at this entry point. Ties are settled by in the unlikely event that two or more children live in the same block and in all other ways have equal eligibility for the last available place at the academy, the names will be issued a number and drawn randomly to decide which child should be given the place. This will be independently supervised.

How places are decided at Hamstreet Primary Academy

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.

1Looked after Children 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 functions (see the definition in Section 22 (1) of the Children Act 1989) at the time of making an application to a school.

3Children of staff at the school — Where the member of staff has been employed at the academy for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the academy is made, and/or the member of staff is recruited to a post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
4Children with exceptional Medical or Social Reasons — Applications will need to be supported by written evidence from a suitably qualified medical or other practitioner and give reasons why the academy is the most suitable placement to meet the child's needs.
5Nearness of children's homes to school — we use the distance between the child's permanent home address and the academy, measured in a straight line using the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) address point data. Distances are measured from a point defined as within the child's home to a point defined as within the academy as specified by NLPG. The same address point on the academy site is used for everybody.

If two applications tie: in the unlikely event that two or more children live in the same block and in all other ways have equal eligibility for the last available place at the academy, the names will be issued a number and drawn randomly to decide which child should be given the place. This will be independently supervised.

Before oversubscription criteria are applied, children with an EHCP naming the academy are admitted first (not numbered as a criterion, per document's own wording).

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.
