- How are Year 7 places decided at Co-op Academy Priesthorpe?
- When Co-op Academy Priesthorpe 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 — A looked after child is defined as a child who is (one of the following): in the care of a local authority; being provided with accommodation by a local authority's social services (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989). A previously looked after child is any child who was previously looked after but stopped being so because they were (one of the following): adopted, including those adopted from state care outside of England; became subject to a Special Guardianship order; became subject to a Child Arrangements Order; 2. Children with exceptional social or medical needs that can only be met at our school — This priority is a request for admission to our school because your child has exceptional needs that can only be met at our school. It must be supported by professional evidence. All schools in Leeds have experience of supporting a wide range of social and medical needs. However, in exceptional cases, there may be compelling reasons why a child needs to attend one specific school. This priority can be requested in these cases, and applicants will need to clearly demonstrate the connection between your child's need, the specific school and how that school can meet your child's needs in a way that no other school can. It must be supported by professional evidence. Our Leadership Team will review your request for this priority. Cases will be considered individually; 3. Children who have a brother or sister attending the school — To get this priority, the sibling must: live the same address as the child applying; still go to the school when the child applying starts (in September); be a full, half, step, or foster sibling (this priority does not include cousins or other family members sharing a house); If an older sibling is attending sixth form, they must have been going to the school in Year 11 to be considered as a sibling in this priority, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 210 places at this entry point. Tie-break: In any priority, if multiple children meet the same priority but there are not enough places left for all of them, the places will be allocated based on distance from our school. We use a straight line distance system provided by Leeds City Council admission team. The program measures the straight line distance from a defined point on the main school building to a defined point on your home address. If two or more children live exactly the same distance from our school (i.e. in a block of flats) and there are not enough places for both, we will draw lots. This will be witnessed by an independent person. We will not draw lots for twins or other multiple birth siblings from the same family. Where they are tied for the final place, we will admit them all, exceeding the Published Admissions Number for our school.
