Broadoak Primary School

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.

1. 1Looked after children and previously looked after children — Looked after children and previously looked after children. This includes children who have ceased to be looked after because they were adopted or became subject to a child arrangement order or special guardianship order; or who were internationally adopted and appear to the local authority to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. (see note c) (Parents/carers of all previously looked after children will need to provide a photocopy of the relevant order or proof of adoption with the application form
2. 2Children in need as defined by the Children Act — Children in need as defined by the Children Act (1989), ie those who are unlikely to achieve or maintain or to have the opportunity of achieving or maintaining a reasonable standard of health or development or a child/children whose health or development would be further impaired without the provision of services by the Local Authority. Confirmation of the child’s needs will be required from their social worker. (see note d)
3. 3Brother or sister in attendance at the school — Brother or sister in attendance at the school (Reception – Year 5 only. Year 6 are considered for in year applications only) at the date when the pupil is to be admitted. This includes stepchildren and foster children living with the same family at the same address. Other children may be considered under the sibling criterion provided proof is available to demonstrate that the children are permanently resident at the same address and part of the same family unit. (The authority accepts that in some family units the children may not be natural brothers and/or sisters).
4. 4Children living nearest to the school — Children living nearest to the school. The distance will be measured in a straight line using LLPG (Local Land and Property Gazetteer) information to measure the distance between the address point (including flats) of the child’s home address and the centre of the school in miles. Those children whose home address is closest to the school will be those who get priority for places. (see note f)
5. 5proof of where you are registered for council tax
6. 6your television licence
7. 7wage/ salary slip
8. 8proof of your child tax credits — proof of your child tax credits. Any evidence you provide must show that the parent or main carer lives at this address. We may seek evidence by other means if the parent/carer is unable to provide sufficient proof of their residence. If your address changes temporarily (for example, if you go to live with a relative or there is another reason for temporary vacation of the permanent residence to which the child benefit document refers) you cannot use this temporary address for the purposes of your application. g. The authority may at its discretion consider as genuine a child’s temporary address where, for example, the child is living with his or her parent or carer(s) in temporary accommodation due, for example, to their parent/carer(s) working commitments, whilst they are seeking a permanent address in the same area. If the parent/carer(s) main address has changed temporarily, for example where a parent/carer resides with extended family during a period of sickness or takes up temporary accommodation due to building or renovation work, then the parent/carer(s) address remains that at which the parent/carer(s) was resident before the temporary residence began. h. Change of address, any permanent change in address must be notified in writing or by email to the Admissions Team as soon as possible. It will not be possible to make any changes to the home address for allocation…
