How places are decided at Stocksbridge Junior School

When there are more applications than places for 2025-26 (Year 3), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Children in Care — Children who are looked after (in public care) or are previously looked after child;
2Catchment or normal area with sibling — Children who reside in the defined catchment or normal area who also have a brother or sister at the preferred school at the point of entry.
3Catchment / normal area — Children who reside in the defined catchment or normal area of a school.
4Siblings — Children not in catchment/ normal area with a sibling attending the preferred school at the point of entry. A sibling is defined as a child who permanently or usually lives at the same address as: a brother and/or sister (including half brothers/sisters); a stepbrother and/or stepsister; in both cases, will attend the preferred school at point of entry.
5Attendance at a feeder school (Sheffield only) — The priority is given if the child attends a designated linked feeder school at the time of allocation. Please note, in Derbyshire attendance at a particular primary school gives no priority for admission to a particular secondary school.
6Other applications — Any child who does not fit into the above categories will be considered next.

If two applications tie: In Sheffield: 1) where exceptional medical, social or special educational needs are demonstrated and evidenced by a professional; 2) if no exceptional circumstances are present, admissions are prioritised by the straight line distance from the centre of the home to the centre of the school building. In Derbyshire: 1) those children living nearest to the school (measured by a straight line distance from home to school) will be given preference; 2) then a random allocation will be used to determine which child shall be given a place, supervised by someone independent of the Trust.

The document also sets out separate oversubscription criteria for Y3 (Infant to Junior School) transfers in Sheffield, which differ from the general criteria above. In Derbyshire, Y3 admissions follow the Reception admissions criteria as listed. The PAN of 90 is stated for entry into Y3 for Academic Year 2025/26.
