Wood End Infant & Pre-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 child — A looked after child or previously looked after child including those children who appear (to the admissions authority) to have been in state care outside of England and cease to be in state care as a result of being adopted
2. 2Children eligible for the service premium
3. 3Sibling in catchment — Siblings of children who are attending the school at the time allocations are made and are expected to be on roll at the school at the time of the proposed admission and the place of residence is within the catchment area of the school
4. 4In catchment, no sibling — The child's place of residence is within the catchment area of the school and there is no sibling
5. 5Sibling outside catchment — Siblings of children who are attending the school at the time allocations are made and are expected to be on roll at the school at the time of the proposed admission and the place of residence is outside of the catchment area of the school
6. 6Children of staff — Children of staff at the school where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, and /or the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage
7. 7Distance — Distance from the school to the place of residence

If two applications tie: Where oversubscription results in the PAN being reached within one of the priorities, sub-prioritisation within priority will take place using distance between the child's home address and the school's main entrance, measured in a straight line with those living closest to the school receiving higher priority. In the event of joint oversubscription, having exhausted distance, random allocation will be used as the ultimate tiebreaker.

Local-authority coordinated default oversubscription criteria for Milton Keynes City Council's community and voluntary-controlled schools (the council is the admission authority). Some community/voluntary-controlled schools in this authority apply catchment-area, feeder-school or priority-area variants — check the individual school for its exact arrangements. Catchment areas are defined per school at Annex B; PAN listed at Annex A but not extracted per instructions. EHCP admission is handled outside oversubscription criteria as a legal requirement (children with EHCPs naming the school must be admitted regardless of PAN).

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.
