How are Reception places decided at Valley Invicta Primary School At Aylesford?

When Valley Invicta Primary School At Aylesford has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Children in local authority care — Looked after children and children who were previously looked after but immediately afterwards became subject to adoption, a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order. Children who appear to the admission authority to have been in state care outside England and ceased to be so as a result of being adopted have equal first priority; it is for the adopting parents to prove the child was previously in public care; 2. Current family association (siblings) — A brother or sister attending the same school when the child starts, living at the same address — natural, adopted, half, step or foster siblings, or children living as brothers and sisters in the same house. Cousins do not count. The sibling claim stands if the family still live at the same address as when the older sibling was admitted, or have moved to within 2 miles of the school, or have moved nearer the school; if they have moved more than 2 miles away the sibling link is broken. A sibling link cannot be claimed where the older sibling is in Year 6, because they will have transferred to secondary school; 3. Health and special access reasons — Medical, health, social and special access reasons applied in line with the Equality Act 2010, where a child’s or a parent’s or carer’s physical or mental health or social needs create a demonstrable and significant need to attend this school. Evidence must come from a suitably qualified medical professional or other practitioner and must be specific: the child’s condition, its effects, why this school is needed, and detailed knowledge of the school’s resources and organisation showing why no other school is suitable. A parent’s own medical needs cannot on their own justify a place, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point. Tie-break: If two or more children are in every other way equally eligible for the last available place, each name is issued a number and drawn at random, independently supervised.

How places are decided at Valley Invicta Primary School At Aylesford

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 — Looked after children and children who were previously looked after but immediately afterwards became subject to adoption, a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order. Children who appear to the admission authority to have been in state care outside England and ceased to be so as a result of being adopted have equal first priority; it is for the adopting parents to prove the child was previously in public care.

A parent’s own medical needs cannot on their own justify a place.
4Children of staff — Children of staff who work at the school, as set out in the policy.
5Nearness of the child’s home to the school — The distance between the child’s permanent home address (as defined in Kent County Council’s annual admissions prospectus) and the school, measured in a straight line using National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) address points, from a point within the home to the same fixed point on the school site for every applicant. Where a property is not on the NLPG, including new build, KCC may use planning-site or other co-ordinates.

If two applications tie: If two or more children are in every other way equally eligible for the last available place, each name is issued a number and drawn at random, independently supervised.

Valley Invicta Academies Trust is the admission authority for Valley Invicta Primary School at Aylesford, so these rules are set by the trust rather than by Kent County Council. Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan naming the school are admitted before the criteria are applied, which reduces the number of places left. Multiple births are protected: where the school would reach its admission number partway through a set of twins or triplets, a place is offered to each, treated as "excepted" pupils under infant class size law.

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.
