- How are Reception places decided at Wallington Primary Academy?
- When Wallington Primary Academy has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Priority 1 - Looked After Children and Previously Looked After Children — 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 (s.22(1) Children Act 1989). Applications must be supported by a letter from the relevant Local Authority Children's Services Department; previously looked after applications also require a copy of the adoption or child arrangements order; 2. Priority 2 - Siblings — Children with a brother or sister who is reasonably expected to be in attendance at the school at the time of the enrolment of the new pupil. A sibling is defined as a brother or sister, half brother or sister, step brother or sister, adopted brother or sister or the child of the parent/carer's partner and in every case, who is living as part of the family unit at the same address, Monday to Friday. Siblings in Year 6 or nursery at the time of application to start Reception will not qualify as a sibling for admission; 3. Priority 3 - Medical — Children with serious medical reasons for needing to attend the school. A serious and continuing medical condition of a parent which would prevent them taking their child to school may also be relevant. Supporting evidence should set out particular reasons why the school is the most suitable and the difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend another school. The medical reasons must be verified by a doctor or consultant and declared at the time of application if known. Providing evidence does not guarantee priority; the Trust's Admissions Panel will consider whether the evidence demonstrates that the child must attend a particular school and cannot reasonably attend an alternative school, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Distance will be used as a tiebreaker for each oversubscription criterion. Where distance is the same for two or more applications, the child to be allocated will be selected randomly by the Local Admissions System.
