How are Reception places decided at Overstone Gate Primary School?

When Overstone Gate 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 — Children who are looked after or are previously looked after; 2. Siblings — Children who have a sibling who attends the Academy at the date of admission; 3. Children of staff — Children of staff of the Academy who have been employed for two or more years at the time of the application or are recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage. To qualify under this criterion, the staff member must be a 'direct employee'. This includes any member of staff (teaching or non-teaching) with two years continuous employment with the Academy or seasonal employment totalling two years. Staff contracted in to provide services to the Academy do not count as 'direct employees'. For the purposes of this criterion, 'children of staff' is taken to include a son, daughter or step-son/daughter, or child who is adopted or fostered or for whom a special guardianship order is in place, in all cases providing they are living at the same address as the parent/carer who is employed by the Academy, and 1 further criteria. Tie-break: If the admission number is exceeded within any criterion, priority will be given to those children who live closest to the academy. Distances are measured from the address point of the home address to the address point of the academy on a straight-line basis using the Local Authority's Geographical Information System. In the case where two applications cannot otherwise be separated, e.g. when two distances are equal, random allocation will be used to determine which child shall be given a place.
