How places are decided at Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed Church of England Junior School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 3), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked After Children and previously Looked After Children — 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.
2Current Family Association — A brother or sister attending the Endowed School when the child starts or, after giving priority for such children, at the time at which application is made. Brother or sister means children who live as brother or sister in the same house, including natural brothers and sisters, adopted siblings, stepbrothers or sisters and foster brothers and sisters. The sibling link is maintained only as long as the family have continued to live at the same address as when the older child was admitted to the school, or have moved closer to the school from where they were living previously, or have moved to an address that is within three miles from the school.
3Christian Faith — A child living in the parish of the Whitstable Team Ministry, who has attended worship or Sunday school at a church which is part of Churches Together in England or The Evangelical Alliance or The Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches at least twice a month for a continuous period of 12 months up to the date of application. The number of applicants given priority under this criterion will not exceed 50% of the Published Admission Number (PAN).
4Children with Exceptional Compassionate, Social, Medical/Health or Special Access Needs — Priority will be given to children under this criterion, which applies equally to such needs of the child's parents or carers, where there is on any of these grounds a demonstrable and significant need to attend the Endowed School.
5Children of Staff at the School — Priority will be given to children of a member of staff who has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application is made and children of a member of staff who has been recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
6Nearness of Children's Home to School — We use the distance between the child's permanent home address and the school, measured in a straight line using the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) address point.

If two applications tie: In the unlikely event that two or more children 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 verified.

Before the application of oversubscription criteria children with an Education, Health & Care plan (EHCP) which names the Endowed will be admitted (not numbered as a criterion). Multiple births exception noted under criterion b.
