How are Reception places decided at Springhead Park Primary School?

When Springhead Park Primary School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after children and previously looked after children — Children in public care (looked after children) or children who were previously in public care immediately before being adopted or subject to a residence order or special guardianship order. Children adopted outside England, internationally adopted previously looked after children (IAPLAC), are given equal first priority alongside looked after children and previously looked after children; 2. Siblings — Siblings of children who will be attending Springhead Park Primary School at the time the child is due for admission to the school. This priority does not include brothers or sisters due to transfer to secondary school in the next academic year. For this priority, brother or sister includes a full brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, or step/half brother or sister living at the same address. Where in an allocation of places, children who are twin, triplets or from other multiple births would qualify for fewer places than the number of children, all will be treated as siblings and therefore accorded the sibling priority; 3. Hardship — This is given where either the disability or medical condition of a parent or sibling or exceptional social or domestic circumstances would result in significant hardship if the child did not attend the school nearest to home, nearest to the place of work of the parent not suffering the condition, or convenient to the family's child-minder. Requests for this priority must be made with supporting evidence at the time of application. Each request will be considered individually by a panel of Governance Partners, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Where two applications cannot otherwise be separated, the trust will follow a fair, clear and effective 'tie-breaker' procedure. 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. The process must be supervised by someone independent of the school.
