How places are decided at Wyvil Primary School and Resource Bases for Speech, Language and Communication Needs, and Autism

When there are more applications than places for 2022-23 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked After Children or Previously Looked After Children — A 'looked after child', a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order, including those 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, and previously looked after children.
2Siblings — Children with a brother or sister who already attends the school, and who will not have left the school at the time of admission. A sibling is a full/half/step brother or sister living at the same address, a child living as part of the family by reason of a court order, or a child placed with foster carers at that address as a result of being looked after by the Local Authority. Children looked after under an agreed series of short-term placements (such as respite) are not siblings under this criterion.
3Children with Exceptional Medical or Social Needs — Children with a professionally supported medical or social need whose application identifies a particular school that is especially able to meet that need; also takes into account a parent/carer physical, mental or social need that is significant and demonstrable. Does not include childcare arrangements. Decided by the MEDSOC panel; supporting documents from an appropriate professional (GP, consultant or social worker letter/report) must be provided.
4Children of staff at the school — Staff must be employed by the said school as a teaching assistant or qualified teacher for a minimum of 0.6fte (16.5 hours teaching staff) and have been employed for at least 3 years at the time of submitting the application (employment started no later than September 2018). Relevant supporting paperwork must be submitted to the LA.
5Distance — Priority on the basis of straight-line distance between the child's current home address and the school, measured by a computerised mapping system from a point at the home address as identified by the software (using the Local Land and Property Gazetteer) to a central point in the school's grounds. The home address must be the child's permanent place of residency, not a business address or the address of a relative or carer without legal custody.

If two applications tie: As a tiebreaker for all criteria, priority is given to children living closest to the preferred school measured by a straight line in accordance with criterion 5. Where children have exactly the same distance the Governing Body will randomly allocate places.

Joint 'Foundation Schools Admissions Policy 2022/23' of Vauxhall & Wyvil Primary (Wyvern Federation); the Governing Body admits 30 places at Vauxhall and 60 places at Wyvil to Reception in September. The 60 PAN recorded here is the Wyvil figure stated in the document. Lambeth is not the admission authority; the Governing Body is.

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.
