How places are decided at St Eanswythe's 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.
2Vulnerable Children — Children of families with confirmed refugee status II. Children from families associated with Military Services and eligible for the Service Premium. Evidence of eligibility may be requested.
3Children of staff — We may give priority in our oversubscription criteria to children of staff 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.
4Children with brothers or sisters in the school — brother or sister means children who live as brother and sister in the same house, including natural brothers or sisters, adopted siblings, stepbrothers or sisters, foster brothers or sisters.
5Health 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.
6Nearness 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.

If two applications tie: If any category is oversubscribed it is recommended that applicants will be ranked by straight line distance [as defined above] and those closest given priority. This would be independently supervised. If in the event 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.

Document numbers criteria 1, 2, 3, then repeats '3' for siblings, '4' for health/special access, and '5' for nearness — an apparent printing/numbering inconsistency; ranks above reflect the actual sequential order of criteria as printed. Children with an EHCP naming the school are admitted first (stated in text, not part of the numbered list).

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.
