How are Reception places decided at Wilmington Primary School?

When Wilmington 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 — 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; 2. Current family association (sibling) — Current family association with Wilmington Primary School (a current family association means that the child who wants a place will have a brother or sister (sibling) attending the same school when they start there and they live at the same address). 'Sibling' means a natural brother or sister, a half brother or sister, a legally adopted brother or sister or half-brother or sister, a step brother or sister or other child living in the same household as part of the same family who, in any of these cases, will be living at the same address at the date of their application for a place; 3. Child of a current member of staff — Where one of the two conditions below is met: i. The staff member has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made. ii. The member of staff has been recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage, and 1 further criteria. The school offers 30 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Nearness of children's homes to school will be the tie breaking criteria. We use the distance between the child's permanent home address (as 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... In the unlikely event that two (or more) applications come from a family living the exact same distance from the school then the place will be offered by independently adjudicated random selection.
