How places are decided at Lady Boswell's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Sevenoaks

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 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.
2Siblings — Children who have a brother or sister in the school at the time of admission. Brother or sister means children who live as brother and sister in the same house, including natural brothers or sisters, adopted siblings, stepbrothers or sisters and foster brothers or sisters.
3Committed to St Nicholas Parish Church — Children whose parents are committed to St Nicholas Parish Church. The normal minimum requirement to satisfy this criterion is fortnightly attendance by one or both parents for two years or more immediately prior to the date of completion of the RCAF, evidenced by Supplementary Church Form.
4Committed to another Christian Church — Children whose parents are committed to a Christian Church (not meeting Criterion 3). Same fortnightly attendance requirement for two years, evidenced by Supplementary Church Form.
5Medical, health, social or special access reasons — Places allocated to children whose mental or physical impairment means they have a demonstrable and significant need to attend Lady Boswell's, or whose parents'/guardians' health or social needs mean they have a demonstrable and significant need to attend the school, supported by written evidence from an appropriately qualified practitioner.
6Children of staff — Children who have a parent who is a relevant member of staff at Lady Boswell's School, employed for two or more years at time of application, or recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skills shortage.
7Attached to St Nicholas Parish Church — Children whose parents are attached to St Nicholas Parish Church (attended for less than two years or occasional worshippers, monthly or less). Minimum requirement: attendance on at least six occasions in any twelve-month period in the two years prior to RCAF, evidenced by Supplementary Church Form.
8Attached to another Christian Church — Children whose parents are attached to a Christian Church other than St Nicholas Parish Church, same minimum attendance requirement as Criterion 7, evidenced by Supplementary Church Form.
9All other children — All other children.

If two applications tie: 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 the place. This process will be independently verified.
