- How are Reception places decided at Shaw Primary Academy?
- When Shaw Primary Academy has more applications than places for 2024-25, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after children and previously looked after children — Children in public care and children previously looked after children, 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, will automatically be given first priority over other categories where priority is claimed on the application form and validated by the local authority. Looked after and previously looked after children will be considered to be: children who are registered as being in the care of a local authority or provided with accommodation by a local authority in accordance with Section 22 of the Children Act 1989(a), e.g. fostered or living in a children's home, at the time an application for a school is made. Children who have previously been in the care of a local authority or provided with accommodation by a local authority in accordance with Section 22 of the Children Act 1989(a) and who have left that care through adoption, a child arrangements order (in accordance with Section 8 of the Children Act 1989 and as amended by the Children and Families Act 2014) or special guardianship order (in accordance with Section 14A of the Children Act 1989); 2. Special reasons — Priority for admission may be given where there are exceptional social, medical or educational reasons for admission to the school. These reasons must be supported by evidence from a relevant professional (e.g. a doctor or a social worker) and must be submitted with the application for admission. The purpose of this criterion is to give priority to pupils with a specific need that can be met specifically at one school rather than another. The threshold for a successful application under this criterion is high and such cases are likely to be rare since all schools are able to offer support and facilities for a wide range of needs; 3. Catchment area siblings — Children whose normal place of residence is in the catchment area of the school at the closing date for applications, and who will have a sibling at the school at the point of admission, in distance order with those living closer having higher priority, and 3 further criteria. 29 places were offered at this entry point for 2024-25. Tie-break: In circumstances where more than one child is entitled to the same place the place will be offered using the random allocation system (a lottery). This process will be administered by the school admissions service and supervised by an independent witness.
