All Saints Church of England Primary School, Newmarket

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 and previously looked after children — Looked after children (LAC) and all previously looked after children - children who were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order, immediately following having been looked after (PLAC), including those children who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted - internationally adopted previously looked after children (IAPLAC).
2. 2Children of families with confirmed refugee status (stated on a Biometric Residence Perm… — Children of families with confirmed refugee status (stated on a Biometric Residence Permit or equivalent). Places are then allocated as either Church Places (up to 10 places) or General Places (up to 20 places). Any unallocated places in either category will be added to the other category. In all the criteria below, except criteria 4a, the determining factor will be children who live nearest to the school. We will measure the distance by a straight line (‘as the crow flies’), please see page 6/7 for full explanation.
3. 3Church Places - up to 10 places are for:- a) Children who themselves or their families1… — Church Places - up to 10 places are for:- a) Children who themselves or their families1 are practising church members5 at All Saints’ or St. Mary’s Churches, Newmarket. Parents are required to submit a completed Supplementary Information Form. b) Children who themselves or their families1 are practising church members at another Christian Church6. Parents are required to submit a completed Supplementary Information Form. In the event that during the period specified for attendance at worship the church has been closed for public worship and has not provided alternative premises for that worship, the requirements of these [admissions] arrangements in relation to attendance will only apply to the period when the church or alternative premises have been available for public worship.

4. 4Sibling link — General Places - up to 20 places are for:- a) Siblings 2: Children who have a brother or sister attending All Saints’ School at the time of his / her admission. If necessary, priority will be given to those with the smallest age difference. b) Children of staff: Children who have a parent or guardian who is a memberof staff at the school and the member of staff has either been employed for a minimum of two years, or has been recruited to fill a vacant post for which there was a demonstrable skill shortage. c) Catchment 4: Children who are ordinarily resident 3 in the school’s Catchment area. d) Other applications In the event of a tie within any of the oversubscription criteria, i.e. the Published Admissions Number (PAN) of 30 is reached within a group of applicants in any of the criteria, (except Priority 4a when smallest age difference is used) then all the applicants under that criterion will be ranked according to their distance from the school and places will be offered (until the PAN of 30 is reached) to those living nearest to the school. We will measure the distance by a straight line from the child’s ordinary residence to the school. All straight-line distances are calculated electronically by Suffolk County Council using data provided jointly by the Post Office and Ordnance Survey. The data plots the co-ordinates of each property and provides the address- point between which straight line distance is measured and reported to three decimal places. Where there is more than one home within a single building (for example apartments) we will measure to a single point within that building irrespective of where those homes are located. In the unlikely event of two or more applicants living the same distance from the school and competing for a single place, lots will be drawn by someone independent of the school to determine the successful applicant. Oversubscription Criteria Definitions Families (1): Families in this context means either or both parent or guardian. All Saints’ CE Primary School, Newmarket September 2025 9 All Saints’ CE Primary School Admissions Policy 2026-2027 Sibling (2): is defined as brothers or sisters living at the same address including adopted children, stepbrothers, step-sisters and children in foster care within a family unit. Ordinarily resident (3): By “ordinarily resident” we mean the place where your child usually lives. We consider this to be where they sleep overnight. We may need proof of this address. If you use another address to give the impression that your child lives at a different address to where they are ordinarily resident, such as a second home or a grandparent’s address, so that you have a higher priority for a place at the school; we consider this to be a fraudulent application. Where a child lives at two or more addresses, each for part of the week, the address at which the child is ordinarily resident will be considered to be the address where the child lives for most of the week (excluding weekends and school holidays). Separate evidence in writing from each parent or carer must be provided to confirm the child’s living arrangements at the time of application. In cases where the child spends an equal proportion of the school week at two or more different addresses, evidence of which is to be considered the main address will be required to support the application. Agreement in writing by the parents/carers will be required to state which address is to be used as the ordinarily resident address. This address will then be used when processing all school preferences expressed. It is not acceptable to use one address for one school preference and another address for another school preference. If we are aware of a parental dispute affecting the application, we may not be able to deal with the application and you may need to seek independent legal advice in order to resolve the matter. Catchment area (4): Catchment area maps are available online at www.suffolk.gov.uk/catchmentmaps. If you live near to a boundary line on the map, please check your address against the catchment area and/or street lists at www.suffolk.gov.uk/admissions. A list or copy of a map can also be obtained from contacting the Admissions Team on 0345 600 0981. Practicing Church member (5): is defined as someone who attends worship at least monthly, over a period of a year ending on the date of application. A Supplementary Information Form (SIF) will be provided on request to applicants seeking consideration under the criterion of practicing Church members. Completion of this form is optional and a SIF in itself does not constitute a valid application. All applications must still be made on the standard Suffolk County Council CAF1 form. The SIF must be completed and signed by the Parish Priest, or where there is no Priest, another authorised representative of the Church, and returned to the school. Where the parent of a child is a practicing Church member, but not themselves the applicant, the commitment of that parent will be considered in relation to the admission of the child. Christian church (6): is defined as a church which is a member of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland or the Evangelical Alliance. All Saints’ CE Primary School, Newmarket September 2025 10 All Saints’ CE Primary School Admissions Policy 2026-2027 Notes: Parent For the purposes of education law, Section 576 of the Education Act 1996 defines a 'parent' as: ▪ all natural (biological) parents, whether they are married or not; ▪ any person who, although not a natural parent, has parental responsibility for a child or young person (this could be a step-parent, guardian or other relative); ▪ any person who, although not a natural parent, has care of a child or young person. A person has care of a child or young person if they are the person with whom the child lives and who looks after the child, irrespective of what their relationship is with the child. Children in care (looked after children)A ‘child in care’ or a 'looked after child' is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989). Children previously in care (previously looked after children)Children previously in care (previously looked after children) includes children who were adopted under the Adoption Act 1976 (Section 12 adoption orders) and children who were adopted under the Adoption and Children Act 2002 (Section 46 adoption orders). Child arrangements orders are defined in Section 8 of the Children Act 1989, as amended by Section 12 of the Children and Families Act 2014. Child arrangements orders replace residence orders and any residence order in force prior to 22 April 2014 is deemed to be a child arrangements order. Children adopted from state care outside of England A child is regarded as having been in state care outside of England if they were in the care of or were accommodated by a public authority, a religious organisation, or any other provider of care whose sole or main purpose is to benefit society and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. All Saints’ CE Primary School, Newmarket September 2025 11 All Saints’ CE Primary School Admissions Policy 2026-2027 Sibling tie-breaker Priority will be given, where necessary, to applications where there is the smallest age gap in calendar days between the child’s date of birth and the date of birth of any sibling already attending the school, or who has been offered a place at the time of application. In the unlikely event that two applicants competing for a single place at a school have the same number of days difference in age from their closest aged sibling, the place will be offered to one applicant on the basis of lots drawn by the Schools’ Administrator, supervised by a member of Diocesan staff. Distance tie-breaker It is possible that the PAN of the school will be reached in any one of the categories set out above. For this reason, all applications will be prioritised according to the criteria described. Decisions will be made about the offer of places in accordance with those priorities. If it is necessary to use a tie-breaker to distinguish between two or more applications, a distance criterion will be used. We will give priority to the applicants who live nearest to the school as measured by a straight line. In the unlikely event that two applicants competing for a single place at a school live the same distance from the school, the place will be offered to one applicant on the basis of lots drawn by the Schools’ Administrator, supervised by a member of Diocesan staff. Twins, triplets and other multiple births If the final place available at a school is offered to a twin, triplet or other multiple birth and the remaining sibling/s would ordinarily be refused, All Saints Church of England Primary will offer places to the remaining sibling/s at the same school. The law requires that this will apply even in those primary schools where this would mean that more than 30 pupils would be admitted to an infant class. Where a sibling of a twin, triplet or other multiple birth has a school named on their EHC plan, the school will from the date of issue of the EHC plan treat their twin, triplets or other multiple births under the sibling oversubscription criterion for the named school. This does not apply to siblings of children in a specialist unit or a specialist resource base for Hearing Impaired provision or a nursery, because they do not meet the sibling definition in the oversubscription criteria. Moving House All Saints’ CE Primary School, Newmarket September 2025 12 All Saints’ CE Primary School Admissions Policy 2026-2027 If you are moving to a new address and you want to use that address as your child’s ordinarily resident address for your application, you must provide written evidence that you are legally committed to the move. The evidence must be one of the following: proof of exchange of contracts for your new address, or a signed letting/tenancy agreement confirming your new address. For on entry applications evidence should be received by the relevant closing date and confirm that the move it will happen before the start of the school year you have applied for. For in year applications written evidence should be provided with the completed application form and show that the move will take place before the start of the term that you are applying for. Waiting list (on entry applications to Reception only) Names are placed on the waiting list in the priority order set out in our admissions oversubscription criteria. The order of the waiting list can change each time a child’s name is added or the circumstances of a child already on the list changes. As a result, a child’s place on the list can go up or down (for example due to withdrawals or late applications). If you change your address while your child is on a waiting list, you must let us know. Please be aware that this may change your child’s position on the waiting list. Written evidence of this will be required. Having your child’s name on a waiting list will not affect your right to appeal. Late applicants will be added to any waiting lists in oversubscription priority order. If a place becomes available at a school, it will be offered to the child who is ranked highest on the waiting list. Places are not offered based on the date on which names were placed on the list. The waiting lists will close on 31 December 2027. The school does not hold a waiting list for in-year applicants All Saints’ CE Primary School, Newmarket September 2025 13 All Saints’ CE Primary School Admissions Policy 2026-2027 All Saints’ CE Primary School, Newmarket September 2025 14
