Avanti Fields School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1Looked after / previously looked after children — Children Looked After, previously looked after children and children 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.
2. 2Siblings — Children with a sibling attending Avanti Fields School or Krishna Avanti Primary School, Leicester at the time of application. Details of the sibling(s) must be included in the application form. Failure to do so will result in the child being placed into the next category that applies.
3. 3Attendance at named feeder school — Children who attend Krishna Avanti Primary School (Leicester) at the time of application.
4. 4Children of staff — Children of a member of the School’s staff who: a. Has been employed at the School for two or more years at the time of application; and/or b.
