How places are decided at Milstead and Frinsted Church of England 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.

1Children in Local Authority Care or Previously in Local Authority Care — 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 (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.
2Sibling / Current Family Association — a brother or sister attending Milstead & Frinsted CEP School; in this context brother or sister means children who live as brother or sister in the same house on role at the time of entry, including natural brothers or sisters, adopted siblings, stepbrothers or sisters and foster brothers or sisters. The sibling link is maintained as long as the family live at the same address as when the first child applied, or has moved closer to the school than when the first child was offered a place, or has moved to an address that is less than 2 miles from the school.
3Children resident in the Parish of Milstead & Frinsted — Children resident in the Parish of Milstead & Frinsted. (Please see attached map) - a pupil's home address is considered to be a residential property that is the child's only or main residence...
4Regular church attendance / communicant membership — Children, who along with their parents or guardians, regularly attend public worship scheduled and advertised within the pattern of services of the Parish Church of St John the Baptist Church, Milstead & Frinsted and Children from families who are communicant members of the Church of England or other denominations affiliated to the British Council of Churches. We would expect church attendance to be no less than twelve visits during a calendar year.
5Medical / 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 or physical impairment means they have a demonstrable and significant need to attend Milstead & Frinsted CEP School... Such claims will need to be supported by written evidence from a suitably qualified medical or other practitioner who can demonstrate a special connection between these needs and the school.
6Children of school staff — A child of a current member of staff of the school will be considered eligible for a place at the school. Admission authorities may give priority in their oversubscription criteria to children of staff in either or both of the following circumstances: a) where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, and/or b) the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
7Nearness of children's homes to school — 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. Distances are measured from a point defined as within the child's home to a point defined as within the school as specified by NLPG.

If two applications tie: In the unlikely event that two or more children are unable to be separated and in all other ways have equal eligibility for the last available place at the school, the names will be allocated a number and drawn randomly, this must be supervised by someone independent of the school, to decide which child should be given the place.

The school will admit any pupils with an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) naming the school; as a result the published admissions number will be reduced accordingly.

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.
