How are Reception places decided at Kirklington Primary School?

When Kirklington 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 — A "looked after child" (LAC), a child who was previously looked after (PLAC) by an English local authority or an internationally adopted previously looked after child, (IAPLAC). Children looked after by a local authority and all previously looked after children, including those children who appear to the admissions authority to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted, (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order). See definitions page; 2. Catchment area siblings (including displaced siblings outside catchment) — Children who live in the catchment area at the closing date for applications and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school and children who do not live in the catchment area at the closing date for application and who, at the time of admission, will have a brother or sister attending the school who was displaced as the Nottinghamshire community catchment area school was oversubscribed at the national offer day for first admission to school. A map of the catchment area is available via this link: School Details | Nottingham County Council; 3. Other catchment area children — Other children who live in the catchment area at the closing date for applications, and 2 further criteria. Tie-break: In the event of oversubscription within any criterion except the first, preference will be given to pupils who have a sibling (as defined below) on the school roll living nearest the school as the crow flies at the time of entry to the school. Preference will then be given to the child living nearest the school as the crow flies. Distances are measured from the entrance to the child's home to the principal entrance of the school using Nottinghamshire County Council's computerised distance measuring software. Where two or more applicants are equal in all respects and it is therefore not possible to differentiate between them, a method of allocation by drawing lots will be used to allocate the places (supervised by someone independent of the school).
