Children in Local Authority Care, Previously in Local Authority Care or internationally adopted previously looked after children (IAPLAC) — 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. 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), or (c) 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 — A brother or sister in the same school at the time of entry and the family continues to live at the same address as when the sibling was admitted or has moved to a new property nearer to the school as defined by the "Nearness Criterion" (below). In this context brother or sister means children who live as brother and sister in the same house, including natural brothers or sisters, adopted siblings, step brothers or sisters, foster brothers or sisters; 3. 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 a particular school. Equally this priority will apply to children whose parents/guardians physical or mental health or social needs mean 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 who can demonstrate a special connection between these needs and the particular school, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 30 places at this entry point. Tie-break: If any category is oversubscribed, applicants will be ranked according to nearness of their home to the school. If, in the event that more than one applicant has the same distance from home to school (as measured by the Local Authority), then a random selection will be applied. Since a block of flats has a single address point of reference, applicants living in the same block will be regarded as living the same distance away from the school. 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 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 supervised.

How places are decided at Rosherville Church of England 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.

1Children in Local Authority Care, Previously in Local Authority Care or internationally adopted previously looked after children (IAPLAC) — 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. 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), or (c) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
2Current family association — A brother or sister in the same school at the time of entry and the family continues to live at the same address as when the sibling was admitted or has moved to a new property nearer to the school as defined by the "Nearness Criterion" (below). In this context brother or sister means children who live as brother and sister in the same house, including natural brothers or sisters, adopted siblings, step brothers or sisters, foster brothers or sisters.
3Health 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 a particular school. Equally this priority will apply to children whose parents/guardians physical or mental health or social needs mean 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 who can demonstrate a special connection between these needs and the particular school.
4Children of staff — 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; b. and/ or the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post in the school for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage for the requirements of the post.
5Nearness 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. The same address point on the school site is used for everybody. When we apply the distance criterion for the school, these straight-line measurements are used to determine how close each applicant's address is to the school.

If two applications tie: If any category is oversubscribed, applicants will be ranked according to nearness of their home to the school. If, in the event that more than one applicant has the same distance from home to school (as measured by the Local Authority), then a random selection will be applied. Since a block of flats has a single address point of reference, applicants living in the same block will be regarded as living the same distance away from the school. 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 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 supervised.

The document header states 'Admissions Policy 2027-2028' and 'Adopted On: February 2026', but the table of contents references 'September 2026' and the section heading reads 'Determined Arrangements for Admission to the School in September 202' (truncated). The PAN is stated as 30 for 2027. The policy notes that the local authority is listed as Aletheia Academies Trust.

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.
