How places are decided at St Lawrence Church of England Voluntary Controlled 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 children — Those children who are in public care looked after by Telford & Wrekin or any other local authority and children who were previously looked after.
2Children living in the school's attendance area — Children who live in the school\u2019s defined attendance area.
3Exceptional medical reasons (within attendance area) — those children who have exceptional health reasons where there is written medical evidence that admission to the school is essential for their medical well-being; and then
4Siblings attending the school (within attendance area) — those children who will have on the day of admission a brother(s), sister(s), step brother(s), step sister(s), half-brother(s) or half-sister(s) living as a family at the same address and who attend the school; and then
5Other children in the attendance area — other children living in the school\u2019s attendance area.
6Applicants outside the attendance area (same sub-priority order) — Any places which remain available will then be allocated to applicants from outside the school\u2019s defined attendance area in the priority order a) to c) as detailed above.

If two applications tie: If there are insufficient places for all children in any one category, places will be allocated on the basis of the distance between a central point in the home and a central point within the school as measured by straight line distance with those children closest having priority. Distances are measured using the Borough\u2019s computerised mapping system. Random allocation (drawing of lots) is used where distance cannot distinguish between applicants, e.g. children living in the same block of flats or multiple births.

Children with an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) naming the school are admitted outside the above criteria and taken into account when applying the school's admission number. CATCHMENT: Children who live in the school\u2019s defined attendance area. Transcribed from the school's own determined admission arrangements as published by Telford & Wrekin Council determined admission arrangements. Children with an EHCP naming the school are admitted first; that is a statutory duty, not an oversubscription criterion.

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.
