How are Reception places decided at Wansdyke School?

When Wansdyke School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked After Children / Previously Looked After Children — A "looked after child" or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order (90) 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. 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 function (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989); 2. Vulnerable Children — Children from families registered with the National Asylum Support Service; children or families with a serious medical, physical or psychological condition where written evidence is provided at the time of application from a senior clinical medical officer, general practitioner or specialist showing that it would be detrimental to the child or family not to admit to the preferred school; 3. Designated area siblings — A child is considered under this criterion if a sibling is attending the school as at the deadline date and will continue to attend the school at the time of entry, and where the child lives within the designated area at the same address as the sibling. The term 'Sibling' includes Step, half and fostered/adopted and are included in this category, and 4 further criteria. The school offers 30 places at this entry point. Tie-break: If the school is oversubscribed within any category above, the straight-line distance from the child's home address to the school will be used as the determining factor. Distances will be measured according to the Ordnance Survey eastings and northings for the child's home address and the school. Those with the least distance will be given priority. If two or more children with the same priority for admission live an indistinguishable distance from the preferred school, but cannot all be admitted, then the available places will be decided by means of casting lots (random application) by the Academy Council Chair.
