Last distance offered at Sunnyside Spencer Academy, year by year →
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.
If two applications tie: Priority will be given to children who live nearest to Sunnyside Spencer Academy as the crow flies. Distances are measured from the entrance to the child's home to the main administrative point at the school (using eastings and northings as defined by Ordnance Survey) as provided by Nottinghamshire County Council's computerised distance measuring system. In the event of two distances being equal the measurement will be taken from the next decimal point. In the event that two distances remain equal, lots will be drawn and the process will be independently verified by a person independent of the school.
The PAN of 30 is stated in the document as being for 2026-2027, but the policy is issued for 2027-2028 arrangements and the body text states 'The maximum number of new children to be admitted during the 2027/2028 school year has been set at 30'. A 'special circumstances' provision exists for children with particular medical, mobility, SEN or social needs supported by professional evidence, which takes priority over all criteria except criterion 1 (looked after children). Multiple births: where one child of a multiple birth can be admitted, the other child/children will also be admitted.
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.
