- How are Reception places decided at White Laith Primary School?
- When White Laith Primary School 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; became subject to a Special Guardianship order; became subject to a Child Arrangements Order; were in state care outside of England and were then adopted. You must submit evidence of your child's previously looked after status (a copy of the court order and evidence of being in local authority or state care outside England) with your application; 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 our school. This priority can be requested in these cases, and applicants will need to clearly demonstrate the connection between your child's need, our school and how our school can meet your child's needs in a way that no other school can. It must be supported by professional evidence. Our Governing Body will review your request for this priority. Cases will be considered individually. A request would not be granted where a parent wishes for their child to attend a school based on the child's abilities, because their friends attend the school or due to childcare arrangements; 3. Children who have a brother or sister attending our school — To get this priority, the sibling must: live at the same address as the child applying; be attending the school and still be expected to attend the school when the child starts; be a full, half, step or foster sibling (this priority does not include cousins or other family members sharing a house), and 2 further criteria. The school offers 30 places at this entry point. Tie-break: In any priority, if 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. 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 a person independent of the school. 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.
