How are Reception places decided at Parkdale Primary School?

When Parkdale 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 — Children in care ("Looked-after children - LAC") and all Children previously in care ("Previously looked-after children - PLAC") including those children who appear (to the admitting authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted ("Internationally adopted previously looked after children - IAPLAC"), who apply for a place at the school; 2. Exceptional medical or social need — Children with exceptional Medical or Social need that can only be met at the academy (having specialist provision for example). Applications in this category must be supported by a statement in writing from a doctor, social worker or other relevant suitably qualified professional. This is necessary because you are asking the academy to assess your child ahead of other children. Each case will be considered by the Admission Authority based on the interests of the child concerned; 3. In-catchment with sibling — Children living within catchment (at the time of admission) with siblings at the school. Siblings include step siblings, foster siblings, adopted siblings and other children living permanently at the same address. Priority will not be given to children with siblings who are former pupils of the school, and 3 further criteria. Tie-break: Distance will be measured in a straight line from the child's home address to the school's front gates. Priority will be given to children who live closest to the school. Where the distance between 2 children's homes and the school is the same, a random drawing of lots overseen by a person independent of the School & Trust will be used to decide between them. Where multiple birth siblings (twins and triplets, etc) from the same family are tied for the final place, we will admit them all, as permitted by the infant class size rules and exceed our PAN.
