How are Reception places decided at Darley Primary School?

When Darley 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 — This applies to all looked-after children, including those who are in the care of another local authority or being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services function at the time of making an application. Also includes previously looked after children (adopted, subject to a child arrangement order or special guardianship order) and children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted; 2. Special social or medical reasons — We will only consider applications on social or medical grounds if they are supported by a professional recommendation from a doctor, social worker, or other appropriate professional, setting out the particular reason(s) why the school in question is the only school and the difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend another school. Panels of professionally qualified people will consider all applications made under this priority group; 3. Children living within the catchment area — If there are not enough places for all the children in this priority group, we will give first priority to children with a sibling at the school at the time of admission and then to children living nearest the school, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 14 places at this entry point. Tie-break: If there are not enough places for all the children in one of these priority groups, we will give priority first to those with a sibling at the school in September 2027 (sibling defined as brother or sister, half-brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, step-brother or sister, or the child of the parent/carer's partner living in the same family unit at the same address). If within a priority group there are not enough places for all those with a sibling at the school in September 2027, we will give priority to those children with a sibling living nearest the school. Distance is measured by the nearest route recognised by the Council's electronic mapping system from a fixed point within the dwelling to the nearest school entrance. If the distance tie-break is not sufficient, a random allocation will be used as described in Appendix 1.
