How places are decided at Woodford Halse Church of England Primary Academy

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.

1Looked after children and previously looked after children
2Children who live in the defined area (parishes of Woodford cum Membris (including Woodford Halse and West Farndon). Preston Capes (including Little Preston), Eydon, Canons Ashby and Charwelton)
3Children with a brother or sister continuing at the school at the time of admission of the child
4Children with a parent who is a member of staff at Woodford Halse Primary
5Other children. If the admission number is reached within any criterion, priority will be given to those who live closest to the school. Distances are measured on a straight-line basis from the address point of the child’s home to the address point of the school using a geographical information system. In the case where there are multiple applications from the same shared dwelling or where the distance between two or more child's homes to the school is identical, random allocation using a computerised randomiser will be used to decide which child gets priority. This process will be carried out by someone independent of the school.

Places will first be allocated to children who have an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan that names the school as offering appropriate provision.

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.
