How are Reception places decided at Lawn Primary School?

When Lawn Primary School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after children (LAC/PLAC/IAPLAC) — Looked after children (LAC) or previously looked after children (PLAC) or internationally adopted previously looked after children (IAPLAC). A looked 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 (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989) at the time of making an application to the school. A previously looked after child means such children who were adopted (or subject to child arrangement 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. Current Family Association (sibling) — This refers to a brother or sister attending the same school when they start there and living 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 has continued to live at the same house as when the older sibling was admitted into the school, OR if the family has moved, and they have moved to within 2 miles of the school, OR if the family has moved nearer to the school. However, if the family has moved more than 2 miles from the school since the older sibling was admitted, the sibling link is broken; 3. Health & 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 or physical impairment 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, and 1 further criteria. The school offers 30 places at this entry point. Tie-break: In the case of 2 or more applications that cannot be separated by the oversubscription criteria outlined above, the school will use the distance between the school and a child's home as a tie breaker to decide between applicants. Priority will be given to children who live closest to the school. Distance will be measured in a straight line from the child's home address to the school front gates. Where the distance between 2 children's homes and the school is the same, random allocation will be used to decide between them.

How places are decided at Lawn 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.

Such claims will need to be supported by written evidence from a suitably qualified medical or other practitioner.
4Nearness of Children's Home to School — The permanent home address for a child is to be a residential property that is the child's only or main residence and not an address at which the child may stay at during the week such as at grandparents or childminder's home. We use the distance between the child's permanent home address (defined in KCC's annual admissions prospectus) and the school, measured in a straight line using the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) address point.

If two applications tie: In the case of 2 or more applications that cannot be separated by the oversubscription criteria outlined above, the school will use the distance between the school and a child's home as a tie breaker to decide between applicants. Priority will be given to children who live closest to the school. Distance will be measured in a straight line from the child's home address to the school front gates. Where the distance between 2 children's homes and the school is the same, random allocation will be used to decide between them.

Before the application of oversubscription criteria, children with Statements of Special Educational Needs or an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names Lawn Primary School will be admitted; the published admissions number will be reduced accordingly. School is a foundation school with admissions arrangements set by Kent County Council under its Co-ordinated Scheme for Primary Admissions.

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.
