1Looked after and previously looked after children — A ‘looked after child’ or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangement order, or special guardianship order, including 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.
2Particular medical condition — Children with a particular medical condition.

3Sibling attending the school — Children having a brother or sister attending Newtown Primary School (not nursery) at the time of admission.
4Distance from home to school — Children prioritised by distance measured in a straight line from the child’s home (measured from the Local Land and Property Gazetteer address base for the property) to the centre point of the school site (as designated by the headteacher). In all cases, should the number of applicants exceed the number of places available, places will be allocated based on distance between home and school, as measured in a straight line from home to the centre point on the school site with priority being given to those living closest to the school.

If two applications tie: If two or more applicants tie for last place during the allocation process the final place shall be decided by a random number generator, independently overseen by Sandwell Local Authority.

EHCP naming the school takes priority ahead of these oversubscription criteria (statutory duty, not ranked). Appeals timetable reference to 28 February 2027 used to infer cohort_start_year=2027. Twins/multiple births: school will exceed admission number to avoid separation. Transcribed from the school's own determined admission arrangements as published by Sandwell MBC. Children with an EHCP naming the school are admitted first; that is a statutory duty, not an oversubscription criterion.

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.
