How are Reception places decided at Wittersham Church of England Primary School?

When Wittersham Church of England Primary School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Children in Local Authority Care — a child under the age of 18 years for whom the local authority provides accommodation by agreement with their parents/carers (Section 22 of the Children Act 1989) or who is the subject of a care order under Part IV of the Act. This applies equally to children who immediately after being looked after by the local authority became subject to an adoption, residence, or special guardianship order, including those who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted; 2. Church affiliation (closest Church Aided School) — Children with a church affiliation providing Wittersham is their closest Church Aided School - For parents to meet the Church affiliation at least one member of the family must have attended church on at least a monthly basis within the 12 months preceding application. The supplementary form for Admissions should include a statement from the Rector/Vicar or Minister to confirm church attendance; 3. Siblings — Children with siblings at the school at the time of entry - Children who live as brothers and sisters in the same house including natural brothers or sisters, adopted siblings, step-brothers or sisters, and foster brothers or sisters. The sibling link is maintained as long as the family lives at the same address as when the first child applied, or have moved closer to the school than when the first child was offered a place, or has moved to an address that is less than 2 miles from the school using the distance measured by the method outlined in the distance/nearness of children's home to school criterion, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 20 places at this entry point. Tie-break: In the unlikely event that two or more children in all others 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.

How places are decided at Wittersham 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 — a child under the age of 18 years for whom the local authority provides accommodation by agreement with their parents/carers (Section 22 of the Children Act 1989) or who is the subject of a care order under Part IV of the Act. This applies equally to children who immediately after being looked after by the local authority became subject to an adoption, residence, or special guardianship order, including those who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
2Church affiliation (closest Church Aided School) — Children with a church affiliation providing Wittersham is their closest Church Aided School - For parents to meet the Church affiliation at least one member of the family must have attended church on at least a monthly basis within the 12 months preceding application. The supplementary form for Admissions should include a statement from the Rector/Vicar or Minister to confirm church attendance.
3Siblings — Children with siblings at the school at the time of entry - Children who live as brothers and sisters in the same house including natural brothers or sisters, adopted siblings, step-brothers or sisters, and foster brothers or sisters. The sibling link is maintained as long as the family lives at the same address as when the first child applied, or have moved closer to the school than when the first child was offered a place, or has moved to an address that is less than 2 miles from the school using the distance measured by the method outlined in the distance/nearness of children's home to school criterion.
4Health and Special Access Reasons — Medical, health, social, and special access reasons will be applied following 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 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 which can demonstrate a special connection between these needs and the particular school.
5Nearness 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. Distances are measured from a point defined as within the child's home to a point defined as within the school as specified by NLPG. The same address point on the school site is used for everybody.

If two applications tie: In the unlikely event that two or more children in all others 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.

Before the application of oversubscription criteria, children with a statement of special educational need naming the school will be admitted, and the PAN reduced accordingly (not numbered as part of the ranked criteria).

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.
