How are Reception places decided at Greenhill Academy?

When Greenhill Academy has more applications than places for 2025-26, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after and previously looked after children — Children in public care (looked after children) or a child who was previously looked after including those children who were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order), immediately following having been looked after and those 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. Exceptional medical or welfare needs — Those children who are considered to have exceptional medical needs or exceptional welfare considerations which are directly relevant to the academy concerned. Parents must submit evidence to support their application under this criterion (see note (a) below); 3. Sibling — Those children who will have a sibling attending the academy when the younger child is admitted. A sibling is defined as a brother or sister, step-brother or step-sister and half-brother or half-sister. A sibling must be living at the same address and not be a cousin or other relative. This criterion will apply to children who already have a sibling currently in attendance at the preferred academy and also to children who have a sibling applying for a place at the preferred academy that can be offered a place but are not currently on roll. Siblings who are in Under 3s units, Nursery & Year 6 the year they apply for the place will not be counted as siblings in attendance at the school, and 1 further criteria. 55 places were offered at this entry point for 2025-26. Tie-break: Should it be necessary to distinguish between applicants with equal priority within any of the above criteria, children will be prioritised in proximity order, with those living nearest the school being admitted first. The distance is measured as a straight line from the child's home address to the academy property measured between the two central data points of the home postcode and academy post code. Measurements are calculated using Geographical information System mapping software based on Ordnance Survey and Postcode data completed on the Trust's behalf by Oldham Council. In the event of two or more children living equal distant from the school, e.g. blocks of flats, the place will be decided by drawing lots, the first name drawn will be offered the place.
