How are Reception places decided at Ramsgate Arts Primary School?

When Ramsgate Arts Primary School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Children in Local Authority Care or Previously in Local Authority Care — A 'looked after child' or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order... Children Previously in Care Outside of England – Children who appear to KCC to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted; 2. Children of staff — Children of staff in either or both of the following circumstances: i) where the member of staff has been employed for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, and/or ii) the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage for the requirements of the post; 3. Siblings — Siblings of pupils attending the school. 'Sibling' means a natural brother or sister, a half brother or sister, a legally adopted brother or sister or half-brother or sister, a step brother or sister, or other child living in the same household including foster children who, in any of these cases, will be living with them at the same address at the date of their entry to the academy. If an older sibling is attending school in Year 6, parents will not be able to claim a sibling link for the younger child, as the older sibling will be transferring to secondary school, and 1 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point. Tie-break: In the event of a 'tie-break' situation we will first apply distance from Ramsgate Arts Primary School (Nodal 1) to decide who has priority under criteria 3-6. If we are unable to establish who lives closer to the school we would use a method of random selection, this would take the form where all names which have equal eligibility will be issued a number and drawn randomly to decide which child should be given the place. This process will be undertaken by the local authority (or another body unconnected with the Academy Trust).

If two applications tie: In the event of a 'tie-break' situation we will first apply distance from Ramsgate Arts Primary School (Nodal 1) to decide who has priority under criteria 3-6.

This process will be undertaken by the local authority (or another body unconnected with the Academy Trust).

After admission of pupils with an EHCP naming the school, the published admission number will be reduced accordingly. The document references 'criteria 3-6' in the tie-break section though only 4 numbered criteria are explicitly listed.
