Havelock Infant 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 children and all previously looked after children
2. 2Children with a sibling continuing at the school or the linked Junior School (Havelock Junior School) at the time of the admission of the younger child.
3. 3Children who live closer to this school than any other school
4. 4Other children.

If two applications tie: If the admission number is exceeded within criterion 3, priority will be given to those who live furthest from their nearest alternative school. If the admission number is exceeded within any other criterion, priority will be given to those who live closest to the school. Measurements are carried out in a straight-line basis from the child’s home address to the address

Places will be allocated to children with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) that names the school as appropriate provision. Sibling A sibling link will arise where one of the conditions below is satisfied. • A brother or sister living at the same address, who shares the same parents. • A half-brother or half-sister living at the same address, where two children share one common parent. • A step brother or step sister living at the same address, where two children are related by a parent’s marriage. • Adopted or fostered children living in the same household. Additional Sibling Link Information: Although the definition of “sibling” does not specify whether the sibling should be younger or older, it should be noted that for admissions to the primary phase of education, the sibling link will only be valid where the older sibling is on roll at the academy (or linked Junior Academy) at the time of application and is expected to be still on roll at the time of admission. Twins/Multiple Births Where possible twins/multiple births will be placed at the same school. In cases where there is one place left and the next child on the list is one of a twin, triplet or multiple birth, the local LA School Admissions Team will contact the parents and discuss the options with them where this is known at the time of application. The parents will need to decide whether to accept one place at the school or to keep the children together by accepting another school.

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.
