How are Reception places decided at Eden Park Primary & Nursery School?

When Eden Park Primary & Nursery School has more applications than places for 2026-27, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after and previously looked after children — Looked after children and all previously looked after children. 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) at the time of making an application to a school. Previously looked after children are children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangement order or special guardianship order). Children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. A child is regarded as having been in state care in a place outside of England if they were accommodated by a public authority, a religious organisation or any other provider of care whose sole purpose is to benefit society; 2. Exceptional medical or social need — Children with an exceptional medical or social need for a place at this school. Applicants will only be considered under this heading if the parent/carer or their representative can demonstrate that only the preferred school can meet the exceptional medical or social needs of the child, a parent or both. The need must be specific to the school: a child may have very challenging circumstances that require additional support but if that support could be provided at another school, there would be no exceptional need to attend this school. The exceptional need could be due to the parent/carer's circumstances. Evidence provided can be in the form of a testimony from a medical practitioner, social worker or other professional who can support the application on an 'exceptional' basis. Without satisfactory supporting evidence, we will not prioritise an application as demonstrating exceptional need. It is not expected that a parent/carer would seek a claim under exceptional medical or social need for a school that is not the first ranked preference school; 3. Sibling already attending the school — Children with a sibling already attending this school at the time of admission. Children will be classed as siblings if they live at the same home address as defined in this policy, as a single-family unit. This includes a natural or adopted brother or sister, step-brother or sister, a natural or adopted child of a cohabiting partner, or a foster brother or sister or a child under a special guardianship order. In all cases the sibling must live with the applicant child as part of the same core family unit. Children who are children of friends or cousins living with their parents in the same household are not included. The sibling's details must be clearly stated in the full application form. Failure to do so may result in this category not being identified and the application being placed in a lower category, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Where we have to choose between two or more children in the same category as each other, then the nearer to the school the child lives - as measured by a straight line on the map using Plymouth City Council's electronic mapping system - the higher the priority. Measurement points will be from the spatial locator identified by the National Land and Property Gazetteer. The spatial locator is the address point based on a general internal point. Flats are therefore taken to be the same measurement point regardless of floor of location. If the tie-breaker is not sufficient to distinguish between applicants in a particular category, there will be a random ballot as set out in the School Admissions Code. This will be undertaken by an officer of Plymouth City Council by the operation of an electronic random number generator.

What is the largest ethnic background at Eden Park Primary & Nursery School?

According to the DfE School Census 2025-26, 90.6% of pupils at Eden Park Primary & Nursery School are recorded as White British. The full ethnic breakdown across all groups is available on the Pupils tab.

How places are decided at Eden Park Primary & Nursery School

When there are more applications than places for 2026-27 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

Failure to do so may result in this category not being identified and the application being placed in a lower category.
4Child of staff member — Children whose parent/carer is a member of staff employed on a permanent contract at this school: for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made; or where the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage evidenced by completion of the staff supplementary information form. This covers all staff working at the school to which the application relates but does not include staff who work on the school site for other employers. Definition of staff for this purpose, is for those teaching and non-teaching staff at the school.
5Other children — Other children not shown in a higher oversubscription criterion.

If two applications tie: Where we have to choose between two or more children in the same category as each other, then the nearer to the school the child lives - as measured by a straight line on the map using Plymouth City Council's electronic mapping system - the higher the priority. Measurement points will be from the spatial locator identified by the National Land and Property Gazetteer. The spatial locator is the address point based on a general internal point. Flats are therefore taken to be the same measurement point regardless of floor of location. If the tie-breaker is not sufficient to distinguish between applicants in a particular category, there will be a random ballot as set out in the School Admissions Code. This will be undertaken by an officer of Plymouth City Council by the operation of an electronic random number generator.

This is a single shared admissions policy for eight schools within CONNECT Multi Academy Trust. Individual PANs are listed for 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 only (not 2026/2027): Cockington 60, Eden Park 60, Eggbuckland Vale 60, Leigham 60, Manadon Vale 60, Preston 45, Thornbury 45, Widey Court 90. The 2026/2027 PANs are not explicitly stated in the table.

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.
