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.

Criteria in brief, in our own words: Cambrian Learning Trust's admission arrangements for Reception in September 2027 give the full rules. Children with an EHC plan naming the school are admitted first. The trust sets one document for its seven primary schools; The Elms follows the five-criterion list it gives for John Blandy, Folly View and The Elms.
