- How are Reception places decided at St Andrew's CofE Primary School?
- When St Andrew's CofE Primary School has more applications than places for 2026-27, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Children in care / previously in care — Children in care and children who ceased to be in care because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence 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; 2. Medical grounds or exceptional circumstances with hardship — Children who satisfy both of the following tests: Test 1: The child is distinguished from the great majority of other applicants either on their own medical grounds which requires regular and sustained medical treatment or by other extreme exceptional circumstances. Medical grounds must be supported by a medical report (obtained by the applicant and provided at the point of application). This report must clearly justify, for health reasons only, why it is better for the child's health to attend the preferred school rather than any other school. Exceptional circumstances must relate to and be relevant to the preferred school and the individual child, i.e. the exceptional circumstances of the child, not the economic or social circumstances of the parent/carer. They should be supported by a recent professional's report (obtained by the applicant and provided when the application is submitted), e.g. a social worker. This report must clearly explain why it is considered best that they attend the preferred school rather than any other school. Test 2: The child would suffer hardship if s/he was unable to attend the preferred school. Hardship means severe suffering of any kind, not merely difficulty or inconvenience, which is likely to be experienced as a result of the child attending a different school. Applicants must provide detailed information about both the type and severity of any likely hardship at the time of application; 3. Sibling — Children who have an elder sibling in attendance at the preferred school and who will still be attending the school at the proposed admission date. (For admission purposes, siblings are children who live at the same address and either: have one or both natural parents in common; are related by a parent's marriage; are adopted or fostered by a common parent or are unrelated children who live at the same address whose parents live as partners.), and 2 further criteria. 18 places were offered at this entry point for 2026-27. Tie-break: If there are a limited number of spaces available and the Trust is unable to distinguish between applicants using the criteria listed, such as in the case of children who live in the same block of flats, then the child or children who will be offered the available spaces will be randomly selected. This process will be independently verified.
