How are Reception places decided at Boxgrove Primary School?

When Boxgrove Primary 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 — Places will be offered firstly to looked after children i.e. children who are looked after by a public authority and are in public care, and previously looked after children who were adopted, or subject to a residence order, or special guardianship order, immediately following having been looked after. Applications made under this criterion must be accompanied by details of the circumstances and professionally supported evidence; 2. Exceptional Circumstances — Children with a serious or life-threatening medical condition or disability, or children where there are sensitive and/or serious individual and/or family circumstances that make attendance at Boxgrove Primary School essential, can be considered under the exceptional circumstances criteria. A case should be provided which demonstrates clearly why you feel it is essential for your child to attend Boxgrove Primary School, and why no other school can meet your child's needs. In the case of a medical condition or disability, this should be stated on the application form and can only be considered if substantive medical evidence from a professional such as a doctor and/or hospital consultant is attached and for other circumstances, evidence from a social worker, health visitor, housing officer, the police or probation officer; 3. Siblings — A sibling will be considered to be a brother or sister (that is, another child of the same parents, whether living at the same address or not), a half-brother or half-sister or a step-brother or step-sister or an adoptive or foster sibling, living as part of the same family unit, at the same address. A child will be given sibling priority if they have a sibling on roll at the school and that sibling is still expected to be on roll at the school at the time of the child's admission, and 2 further criteria. Tie-break: If within any category there are more children than places available, priority will be given to those living closest to the school. Home to school distance will be measured by a straight line from the address point of the pupil's house, as set by Ordnance Survey to the nearest official school gate for pupils to use. This is calculated using the Geographical Information System. Where two or more children share a priority for a place when using distance as a tie breaker, eg where two children live equidistant from a school, lots will be drawn in the presence of an independent person from one of the Trust's other schools to determine which child should be given priority.

How places are decided at Boxgrove Primary School

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.

4Children of Staff — Priority is given to the children of staff a) where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made; and/or b) where the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post at the school for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage, specifically teachers and teaching assistants. The member of staff must complete the supplementary information form attached.
5Any Other Applicant — Remaining places will be offered on the basis of nearness to the school measured in a straight line from the address point of the student's home, as set by Ordnance Survey to the nearest school gate for students to use.
