was the furthest place offered on offer day for 2026-27 (Reception). That is how far the last place reached in ONE year — not a boundary, and not a guarantee. It moves with the number of applicants, so treat it as a guide rather than a line on a map.
Last distance offered at Tunstall Church of England (Aided) Primary School, year by year →
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.
If two applications tie: In the event of oversubscription in any of the above Foundation and Community criteria, priority will be determined in order of nearness from the home to the school, with those living nearest to the school being given the highest priority. In the event that two or more applicants live the same distance from the school and there are insufficient places to admit all applicants, places will be allocated by the drawing of lots.
The school allocates 30 Foundation places and 30 Community places, each with its own separate ordered oversubscription criteria list (both published in the document). The Community Criteria (applied if more applicants than Community places) are: 1) Looked after children or previously looked after children (see note 1); 2) Children with an acute and professionally supported medical or social need for a place at this school (see note 2); 3) Children with a sibling attending the school at the time of the child's admission (see note 3); 4) Children of staff who have been permanent part of the school team for two or more years; 5) Children in order of nearness of child's home to school site for which an application is made (see note 5). If there are fewer applicants than the number of Foundation places, unfilled places become additional Community places, and vice versa. Unsuccessful Foundation applicants are considered for remaining Community places.
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.
