Lift Caldicotes

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 and previously looked after children — Looked after children and previously looked after children (please see definitions below).
2. 2Sibling link — Children with a sibling (brother or sister) who will still be on roll at the school at the time of admission.
3. 3Children eligible for the early years pupil premium, pupil premium or service premium wh… — Children eligible for the early years pupil premium, pupil premium or service premium who are in the nursery class which is part of the school.
4. 4Children permanently resident in the Admission Zone — Children permanently resident in the Admission Zone.
5. 5Exceptional medical or psychological grounds — Children with exceptional medical and social needs.
6. 6Distance - children resident closest to the school — Distance - children resident closest to the school. Tie breaker: Where two or more applicants have equal priority for the last available place (except for twins and children from multiple births) the final tie-breaker will be random allocation which will be independently verified. N.B. Should the PAN be reached in any criterion before the final oversubscription criterion, then distance will be used to prioritise applicants, with those resident closest to the school receiving the higher priority.

Transcribed verbatim from Appendix A of Middlesbrough Council's School Admissions Guide for Parents 2027/2028, which reproduces the determined admission arrangements and oversubscription criteria of every Middlesbrough school. A child with an Education, Health and Care Plan naming the school is admitted first; that is not an oversubscription criterion. 'Admission Zone' is the council's term for the school's catchment area. Section: 'Lift Caldicotes Admissions Arrangements – 2027-28' (guide page 73).

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
