How places are decided at St Martin's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Scarborough

When there are more applications than places for 2025-26 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked after and previously looked after children — Children who are looked after by a local authority and children who were previously looked after. A 'looked after child' is a child who at the time of making the application to school is (a) in the care of a local authority in England, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in England in exercise of their social services functions. A 'previously looked after child' is a child who: (a) Was previously a looked after child in accordance with the above definition, but who immediately after being looked after was subject to an adoption, child arrangement or special guardianship order; or (b) Appears to the Governing Body (having sought advice from the Local Authority) to have been in state care outside of England and who have ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
2Special social or medical needs — Children with special social or medical needs which make the school the most suitable school for the child. To be given priority on this basis, the Governing Body would have to be satisfied that the child's social or medical needs were such that the school would be the most suitable school for the child. Supplementary Information Form required with professional supporting evidence from a doctor, specialist, health professional, social worker or other appropriate professional, setting out: The relevant needs; How those needs would affect the child's education or ability to get to school; and The particular reasons why the school would be the most suitable for the child.
3Sibling in the school — Children who will have a sibling in Reception or Years 1-6 at the school at the proposed date of admission. 'Sibling' refers to brother or sister, half brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, step brother or sister, or the child of the parent/carer's partner where the child for whom the school place is being sought is living in the same family unit at the same address as that sibling. Supplementary Information Form required.
4Regular worship at Christian place of worship — Children who regularly and frequently worship, or whose parent(s)/carer(s) regularly and frequently worship, at a Christian place of worship. To be eligible under this criterion, the applicant must be able to demonstrate the required frequency of worship by the child or at least one parent/carer. The minimum level of worship will be attendance at worship for an average of at least once a month for the two years immediately prior to the date of application. A Christian place of worship is defined as a church which is Designated under the Ecumenical Relations Measure 2018, nationally by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, or locally by the diocesan bishop, or which is a member of Churches Together in England, or affiliated to the Evangelical Alliance or a Partner Church of Affinity. Supplementary Information Form required with verification of attendance from minister of religion.
5Catchment area residence — Children living within the school's Catchment Area. The Catchment Area for the school is the area shown at Appendix 1B.
6Other children — Other children not falling within criteria 1-5.

If two applications tie: If there are more applications within any given criterion than there are remaining places available, the places will be allocated to children satisfying the relevant criterion who live closest to the school. All distance measurements are based on the nearest route recognised by the North Yorkshire County Council's electronic mapping system from the child's home address to the school. The measurement is made from a fixed point in the dwelling, as identified by Ordinance Survey, to the nearest school entrance using footpaths and roads. If the measurement of the distance from home to school does not distinguish between two or more applicants with equal priority, random allocation will be used as the final tie-breaker. This will be supervised by someone independent of the school.

EHCP children named in an Education, Health and Care Plan are admitted first outside the oversubscription criteria ranking. The PAN of 40 only applies to Reception admission. The Governing Body will not refuse admission to other age groups on the grounds that the PAN has already been reached. Sibling criterion requires submission of Supplementary Information Form. Faith criterion requires minister verification. Special needs criterion requires professional supporting evidence. Catchment Area defined in Appendix 1B. Multiple birth sibling exception applies where reasonably possible within Admissions Code.
