When Springfield Junior School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after and previously looked after children — Looked after children (children in care) and 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). This includes children who were in state care outside of England but ceased to be so as a result of being adopted only. 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; 2. Sibling link — Siblings (see definition in section 4) of pupils who are already at the school or who have already been offered a place, and who will still be there at the time of admission, but not in a specialist unit or a specialist resource base for Hearing Impaired provision or a nursery. 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; 3. Priority will next be given to EYFS children who attend Grace Cook Primary School Nurser… — Priority will next be given to EYFS children who attend Grace Cook Primary School Nursery who are eligible for the early years’ pupil premium.

How places are decided at Springfield Junior School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 3), 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 children (children in care) and 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). This includes children who were in state care outside of England but ceased to be so as a result of being adopted only. 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.
2Sibling link — Siblings (see definition in section 4) of pupils who are already at the school or who have already been offered a place, and who will still be there at the time of admission, but not in a specialist unit or a specialist resource base for Hearing Impaired provision or a nursery.

3Priority will next be given to EYFS children who attend Grace Cook Primary School Nurser… — Priority will next be given to EYFS children who attend Grace Cook Primary School Nursery who are eligible for the early years’ pupil premium. Evidence of eligibility will need to be submitted with the application. See notes below on eligibility.
4Distance from the school — Children who live nearest to the school. We will measure the distance by a straight line (‘as the crow flies’). All straight-line distances are calculated electronically by the local authority (LA) using data provided jointly by the Post Office and Ordnance Survey. The data plots the coordinates 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.

This document is a shared policy covering 7 schools; the council's index assigns it to this one.
