How are Reception places decided at Northbrook Primary Academy?

When Northbrook Primary Academy has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after and previously looked after children — Looked after children, previously looked after children and children who appear (to the Trust) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted; 2. Exceptional medical, special educational or social needs — Children with proven and exceptional medical, special educational or social needs which are directly relevant to the school. The application must be supported by written specific appropriate professional advice (letter from doctor or social worker) as to why admission to the school is necessary. It is the responsibility of parents to show that it is essential for the child to attend the Academy rather than any other school; 3. Siblings — Siblings of children who will be attending the school on the date when the applicant would be admitted. The term siblings include brother or sister, half brother or sister, step brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, foster brother or sister and other children living permanently at the same address. Only one address can be used for school admission purposes. This is defined by the Trust as the home in which the child lives for most of the school week (i.e. for four nights or more per week), and 1 further criteria. The school offers 30 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Where there are more applicants received than places available under any of the above criteria then the distance between the school and the home (the address which the child lives at for most of the week) will be used as the final determining factor. The distance criterion is a straight line (radial) measured centre of building to centre of building. Where the cut-off point is for addresses within the same building, then the single measure between address points will apply and the Local Authority's system of a random draw will determine which address(es) receive the offer(s) as an effective, clear and fair tie breaker. In the case of the point within the Academy, this will be the main school office. Where a child lives at two addresses with parents with shared parental responsibility the distance shall be calculated by the address which the child lives for most of the week.
