When Bradley Stoke Community School has more applications than places for 2026-27, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after and previously looked after children — Looked after and previously looked after children; 2. Sibling within APR — Children living in the Area of Prime Responsibility (APR) with a sibling already at the school who will still be on roll at the date of admission. Siblings of a child previously admitted to the school through an EHCP will also fall into this category (regardless of their home address). (Siblings who will be in Post 16 at the applicant’s expected date of entry do not count); 3. All other children within APR — All other children living within the APR, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 30 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Where the number of places available will be exhausted within any of the categories above, the priority of applications will be decided by geography, and priority will be given to those children who live closest to the school. Distances from home to school are measured in a direct line between the address point of the child’s home and a central point within the main school building using the LA’s computerised mapping system. If it does not prove possible to resolve the priority using distance, the remaining places will be allocated by random lottery, in front of an independent witness.

How places are decided at Bradley Stoke Community School

When there are more applications than places for 2026-27 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked after and previously looked after children — Looked after and previously looked after children.
2Sibling within APR — Children living in the Area of Prime Responsibility (APR) with a sibling already at the school who will still be on roll at the date of admission. Siblings of a child previously admitted to the school through an EHCP will also fall into this category (regardless of their home address). (Siblings who will be in Post 16 at the applicant’s expected date of entry do not count).
3All other children within APR — All other children living within the APR.
4Sibling outside APR — Children living outside the APR with a sibling already at the school who will still be on roll at the date of admission (again, Post 16 students do not count).
5All other children — All other children.

If two applications tie: Where the number of places available will be exhausted within any of the categories above, the priority of applications will be decided by geography, and priority will be given to those children who live closest to the school. Distances from home to school are measured in a direct line between the address point of the child’s home and a central point within the main school building using the LA’s computerised mapping system. If it does not prove possible to resolve the priority using distance, the remaining places will be allocated by random lottery, in front of an independent witness.

The school is described as an all-through school with three entry points (Reception, Year 7, Post 16); the same over-subscription criteria are stated to apply to in-year applicants to any year group, but this document (titled 'Primary Phase') only publishes a PAN for the Reception intake (30). No separate ordered criteria or PAN for Year 7 or Post 16 entry points are printed in this document.

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.
