How are Reception places decided at Devonshire Primary School?

When Devonshire 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 — Looked after children or previously looked after children (see notes at 4.3.1). A 'looked after child' or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order including those 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. 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); 2. Professionally supported medical or exceptional social reasons — Where there are professionally supported medical reasons or exceptional social reasons why a child should attend a particular school (see notes at 4.3.2). Applicants wishing to be considered under this criterion must supply professional evidence supporting their case at the time of application. Providing evidence does not guarantee priority under this criterion; the School Admissions Team will consider if the evidence provided demonstrates that the child must attend a particular school and cannot reasonably attend an alternative school. Children with a social worker will be considered under this category. Applicants will not be individually advised if their application has been prioritised under this criterion; 3. Sibling at the school or linked infant/junior school — Where a sibling is already in the main school, or linked infant/junior school (see sections 3.2 and 3.3 for details of linked schools), at the time of admission (see notes at 4.3.3). Sibling refers to brother or sister, half brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, step brother or sister, or the child of the parent/carer's partner, and in every case, who is living as part of the same family unit at the same address, Monday to Friday. Siblings in Year 6 at the time of an application to start Reception in September 2020 will not qualify as a sibling for admission, and 1 further criteria.

How places are decided at Devonshire 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.

1Looked after and previously looked after children — Looked after children or previously looked after children (see notes at 4.3.1). A 'looked after child' or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order including those 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. 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).
2Professionally supported medical or exceptional social reasons — Where there are professionally supported medical reasons or exceptional social reasons why a child should attend a particular school (see notes at 4.3.2). Applicants wishing to be considered under this criterion must supply professional evidence supporting their case at the time of application. Providing evidence does not guarantee priority under this criterion; the School Admissions Team will consider if the evidence provided demonstrates that the child must attend a particular school and cannot reasonably attend an alternative school. Children with a social worker will be considered under this category. Applicants will not be individually advised if their application has been prioritised under this criterion.
3Sibling at the school or linked infant/junior school — Where a sibling is already in the main school, or linked infant/junior school (see sections 3.2 and 3.3 for details of linked schools), at the time of admission (see notes at 4.3.3). Sibling refers to brother or sister, half brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, step brother or sister, or the child of the parent/carer's partner, and in every case, who is living as part of the same family unit at the same address, Monday to Friday. Siblings in Year 6 at the time of an application to start Reception in September 2020 will not qualify as a sibling for admission.
4Straight line distance — (Except Hackbridge Primary School) Straight line distance between the child's home address and the main school (see notes at 4.3.4). Distances will be measured in a straight line from the child's home address, with those living closer to the school receiving the higher priority. The point within the school to be used in any distance calculation will be the main entrance to the school building: for Hackbridge Primary School, this will be the mid-point that is equidistant between each site's main school entrance. All distances will be measured by the computerised Geographical Information System maintained by Sutton Admissions team.

Please note children with an Education, Health & Care Plan naming a particular school will be admitted before all other applicants. Admission numbers in section 3 will be adjusted to take this into account before the remaining places are offered to other applicants. Where oversubscription occurs in categories (i)-(iv) above, the subsequent criterion will be applied as a tie-breaker. If oversubscription occurs in category (v), and home to school distance is equal, rank order will be randomly generated by the Local Admissions System. Where this applies to twins or other multiple births, the school will consider if it can accommodate the additional child(ren) on a case by case basis.

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.
