- How are Reception places decided at Hambleton Primary Academy?
- When Hambleton Primary Academy 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 — This includes any "looked after child" and any child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, residence or special guardianship order. This criterion will also apply to children who were previously in state care outside of England and have ceased to be in state care as they have been adopted; 2. Medical, Social or Welfare reasons — Where there are exceptional serious, sensitive and compelling circumstances that are directly relevant to the academy, priority may be given. Professional evidence to demonstrate exceptional or compelling reasons why only this academy can cater for a particular child’s needs on any of these grounds must be provided with the application. The evidence must set out the reasons and level of risk to the child or family and why the academy is the only suitable school; plus any difficulties which would arise if the child had to attend an alternative school. It should be noted that all schools can make provision for special educational needs, and can also manage common conditions e.g. asthma, epilepsy and diabetes. Only exceptional reasons directly relevant to the academy will be considered. Priority will be given to the child only if the submitted evidence unequivocally proves the circumstances and demonstrates why any alternative school would be unsuitable. Parents are responsible for providing the evidence; 3. Siblings — Children who will have a sibling in attendance at Hambleton Academy at the time of transfer. The term "sibling" includes stepchildren, half brothers and sisters and adopted and foster children who are living with the same family at the same address, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 30 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Where there is oversubscription within any of the determined criteria, then priority for places will be decided in a straight line distance measure, (centre point of the residence to the centre point of the Academy,) using the local authority’s measuring system. The nearest to the academy will have priority for admission.
